They’re on to the next one with the mint chocolate chip ‘Bushwhacker’ Saucony Grid 9000, but before they unveiled this collaboration with one of New England’s running experts, Sneaker Freaker looked to their own backyard for inspiration on a German classic with a Texas-born name. And accordingly, the Dallas lowtop that SNKR FRKR rebranded as Puma Bunyip was unleashed on the public with a party that included the expected top-notch mix of music, art, drinks and, of course, a sick selection of any kind of kicks you can imagine. Check out the video below, let us know how this looked compared to your favorite release date/party memories and stick with Sneaker News for more event recaps from around the sneakerhead universe. via ST

We’ve seen plenty of animated and otherwise entirely fictional characters used to theme sneaker collaborations (Terry Bray, anyone?), but few have managed to capture the kind of local flavor reflected in this new teamup between Puma and Australia’s Sneaker Freaker magazine. SNKRFRKR took the Puma Dallas silhouette, ripped it apart, rebuilt with goat suede and a soft leather liner and the Puma Bunyip was born. Its name evokes images of an Aussie legend, the six-foot tall beast said to look something “like a walrus crossed with a dingo.” This is a design three years in the making and carries all the loving attention to detail as SF’s other collabos; are they the Outback sneaker mag’s best effort to date? Let us know when you click through to see more images and stick with Sneaker News for word on what looks like an Asia-Pacific exclusive release.

The Puma Dallas has been picking up steam thanks to collaborators like Hanon and Size? both selecting the model to work with in their respective capsules. This time around Puma sticks with the in-house design team, coming up with a premium version featuring a ketchup red suede paired with a creme brulee sole. Sure, those two may be something you would never combine in the culinary world, but the red/off white pairing here creates a cool sneaker that isn’t too loud color wise. Continue reading for a more detailed look and hit up Shelta to cop your pair.

The latest Puma collaboration takes its theme from a guy opening a computer case and finding a dead rodent inside. Really. That is, after all, the story of how Joel Zimmerman became known as deadmau5, a name he chose to fit the 8-character limit after becoming infamous on IRC. deadmau5 has gone on to achieve quite a bit of success in the electronic music world, working his way up to some mainstream exposure as the house DJ for last year’s MTV Video Music Awards. That mainstream push continues with the new deadmau5 x Puma collection, Puma First Round hightops and Dallas lows given the flattened-Mickey touch. Click through to see images of each pair and the hoodie options and look for these at your local Puma retailer starting August 1st. via FRESHNESS

Its tagline ringing true with each new collaboration, Hanon “Keeps on Burning”, this time with a special edition pack of Puma Dallas lowtops. These joints are crafted in a mix of tonal suede and nubuck, their colorways inspired by ’80s sportswear with a shout out to the Scottish homeland via argyle sockliners and matching scarves. The burgundy and barley pairs will release exclusively at Hanon-Shop with only 50 and 100 pairs available, respectively, which seems to suggest the other two will receive a wider release. No matter which colorways you prefer, fans of special packaging might look to grab those two in the wooden, whiskey-style box, but either way, they’ll all hit stores this April and you can see more photos when you click on the link below.
