Although taking the pin-up route doesn't seem to demonstrate the main purpose of the particular sneakers, the Puma Bodytrain campaign is still very cute. Starring English popstar Kimberly Walsh (known for being a member of the group Girls Aloud), it is definitely fun and flirty.
Like Reebok's Reetone shoe, Bodytrain is supposed to firm one's bottom just by wearing them. The Puma Bodytrain campaign may not focus on that area of the body, but overall it does a good job of inspiring you to at least give them a try.
