There is something instantly adorable about infants and children's' footwear. Possibly a miniature replica in the palm of your hand creates an image of a more innocent time or maybe it becomes the starting point for countless styling options for your little one or yourself? Rest assured though, the same level of design and craftsmanship goes into the production of these shoes as it does for adults. At gravitypope we carry a selection of children's shoes, sandals and boots that we know represent the quality and style we expect from all of our lines. Stay stylish at any age at gravitypope.com.

puma - spring 2009

Posted Mar 16, 2009 by gravitypope in sneakers, puma

The history of Puma Shoes is a journey through the greatest sporting achievements of the last fifty years. Puma Shoes has accompanied Pelé through World Cup finals, Boris Becker to the grass courts of Wimbledon and Linford Christie to an Olympic gold. It is a history of the constant search for improved performance through technological innovation and symbiotic work with top sports performers. Rudolf Dassler founded Puma Shoes in 1948 in Herzogenaurach, Germany. Direct business competition from his brother Adolf created the environment that was to charge the modern sports trade for decades.

This competition has created one of the most recognized sports brands around the world. Growing beyond just sport, Puma has collaborated with numerous well-known designers to create fashion styles and limited edition sneakers that are popular world-wide. Today we are featuring some of the hi lights for Puma spring 2009, First round Sketch, Factory and Mega collections.

First Round Sketch: From the puma archive in 1987, the First Round was a high cut version of the Basket. The padded collar made this shoe an instant hit with the skateboard community. Built with our performance skate construction, this version offers a truly unique hand painted look.

Factory: Pop Art taken to the next level. Inspired by an American artist who was a central figure in the Pop Art movement. All printed areas are overprinted using bright colors, as if they were silk screened. Named after a pop artist's studio in NY in the 1960's.

Mega: Material and color update inspired by Mega Man, a video game first released by Capcom in 1987. The synthetic leather material looks and feels like vinyl, giving the upper a shiny, retro futuristic look.
