The new Puma Sky Hi+ sneaker of the company's Summer 2011 collection is inspired by the company's original release of the shoe back in the 80s. Boasting a retro high-top design with an extra wide tongue and thick set of laces, the Puma Sky Hi+ shoe for men reminds me instantly of street-savvy skateboarders and stylish basketball players.
Available in all black and baby blue, the shoe can be paired effortlessly with a variety of styles and colors of clothing this summer season. Featuring a rubber sole and adjustable Velcro patch at the top to loosen or tighten the fit, these shoes are equally as comfortable as they are stylish. The Puma Sky Hi+ is available for purchase online at the Puma website.
