Thanks to the Puma 'The List Elemental Pack,' science geeks finally have a shoe or two to call their own. Puma's latest shoe pack is modeled after the Faas 300 running shoe and is based on the elements on the periodic table and comes with accompanying apparel.

I am no science guy, but I still would have loved to rock a pair of Bromine-branded Pumas to chemistry class. The accompanying apparel consists of elemental jackets and shirts that actually make science-themed clothing look cool. Puma is not the biggest name in the shoe game, but their releases are consistently interesting and their collaborations are always inspired. The PUMA 'The List Elemental Pack' is set to hit retailers sometime in early April.
