PUMATALK suggests New PUMA designs!
Hello PUMA & PUMA Lovers,
Straight up – we need to start seeing some ORIGINAL sneaker & boot designs!!! So here are 4 shoes we thought would contribute to PUMA’s vision on concept…. as we all know PUMA is known for their sneaker style to push fashion boundries and I believe these 4 shoes are perfect!!! So here they are – I’ll also explain how these shoes would fit the market and sell well.
EXTREMELY beautiful design!!!! I would call this shoe the PUMA BEE which is made for speed and for track racing. The shoe design is similar to the PUMA H-Street (which sold very well), therefor it’s important to keep a similar style to the H-Street. The cool thing here is the shoe is surrounded by a honeycomb which is made of a carbon fiber simply to create the contrast and at the back we have the PUMA cat on a full sold carbon fiber honeycomb. The buttom of the sneaker would have a nice soft gum like the H-Street. Here’s the fun part, the laces would be shaped like rectangles, look @ the sketch you’ll notice there are 3 rectangles which gives the sneaker a really nice appeal to it. I would make the PUMA Bee’s in a few (4) different colors.
Ohhh man Ohh man!!! I am going to try to render this shoe myself!!! The sneaker is called the PUMA RagCat but I’d change that to PUMA HybridCat as we can see the sneaker has a mix of everything. The design, look & shape is fantastic!!! I would put this sneaker under the F1 moto categorie. It’s very important to keep this sneaker in the Speed Cat format & shape, again the Speed Cats are probably PUMAS best selling sneakers world wide! The 3 strap velcro looks tooo hot, but only looks good because the sneaker is shaped similar to the Speed Cats. The front is beautiful, the red on white with the sliced gum looks insane!!!! And to add a little flavor you got that side design of the bubble I would change that to a different color. I would make this sneaker in maybe 2-3 different colors.
Uhmm… I would call these, the PUMA Cycle Inclines…. let’s look at this way!!! PUMA Bike Messenger was and still is a huge success for PUMA – therefore it’s a necessity for PUMA to create a innovative CYCLING boot and this design here blows anything out the water!!!! The shape is insane and the color is perfect, I would maybe create them in 4 different colors and the best part of the design is the adjustable buckle strap, WOW WOW WOW… I know many cyclist would get their hands on them and with a name like the PUMA Cycle Incline they will sell off the shelf mad fast!!!
This would be a Dassler collection! I’d call these Dassler Chevalier (it’s french for Horseman), simply because they remind me of boots horsemans would wear moreover the style is very classy and very bourgeoisie. I would keep this colorway and nothing else. I would have the front strap made of a special hay/leather/wooden material to get that authentic look and with the dark red color of the boots they would look amazing!
So yah – those are my 4 stylish choices for PUMA to push boundries in the sneaker world! Out of the 4 my favorites are the PUMA HybridCats and It’s not possible for PUMA to look the otherway on this as it fits perfectly the their TARGET MARKET, I think the Clydes & Suedes could use a little break from being overly hyped and work on something original to contribute to the PUMA concept! So feel free to post a comment to let us know if you feeling these sneakers or not!

Wait these are just shoes that you came up with or where these found on another site? I work at Puma and people have been coming in asking when we’ll get the “Puma Bees” in..
April 11th, 2007 at 12:54 am
Hey Helen,
Yes – those are Trainers we suggest for PUMA to make. They are cad designs by sneaker artists and we were just exposing their work to the many who visit PUMATALK (yes, including PUMA)… again folks these are just cad designs they are not actually trainers made by PUMA (I wish they were)…
I bet you were very confused when people were like “Hey Helen, when are you guys getting the PUMA Bees” hahaha…
my best,

Heyy i am a puuma fan and wear nuttin but puma. The reason why i wear puma is because it doesnt look like any sneakers out there and have so many to choose from online. I would rock ALL of them EXCEPT the puma RagCat only because it looks like ive seen that style before and dont want it to be mistaken for another brand, thats why i wear pumas beacuse immediatley they can tell what kind of sneakers and purse i have on!!

as long as these shoes come in different colors like black red and white then im game! i am an allstar cheerleader and im speaking on behalf of all these best cheerleaders in the nation…. WE LOVE PUMAS. simply because they are the best athletes shoe ever! now this is to whoever runs puma! if u came out with a cheerelading shoe that resembled the future cats, and maybe some of these new designs and could be bought in every color then u could make crao loads of money! and im sure colleges and allstar teams would want ur sponsorship! please consider this idea! there are millions of cheerleaders in america that compete in PUMAS! wouldnt you want them to buy more and more shoes from you! haha thanks for ur time!

Hmm, we should make design contests, lol
and the best design gets taken to puma to research and actually make it real.
And wow… those shoes looks amazing!
I like the Puma Bee, Puma Hybridcat and the Puma Dassler :D

JimmyBoy!
I don’t work for PUMA – nor am I interested in working 9-5 earning 60 000$ a year ;) The images you see on here is quality work kid, and I think PUMA should render at least one of these and produce a low number of these kicks…
The site hasn’t been updated since I moved out to Dubai (last April) – where I’m working as an International Creative Director through Europe & Dubai!
In 2 weeks time the site will get a face lift, so check it and hopefully you’ll have a positive attitude :)

W/sup… this are sick models specially the 2nd one ( red, black, white ).
I like the idea of the honey bee, kinda looks like the cell technology that some of the motion styles have, like the voltaic shoe.
the second one ( my favorite ) relly looks like a motorsport and im sure it will def. sell alot. and about the cycling shoe is a very futuristic idea wich is crazy and since puma is puma in my opinion they should make it and also it could be part of the Urban Mobility collection, what do u think ?
the boot, lol i thought of the same thing when I saw it. dassler or mcqueen, maybe a My ?.. well who knows. and this is a kick ass site.
Puma 102 North America !!!

I work at Puma and while I’m always after some new styles that push the boundaries, these are too much. Also, your ‘chevalier’ can’t be a Dassler shoe because it was not originally put out by Dassler. Just a little known fact for you.
April 19th, 2008 at 12:49 am
How is what you are telling me any relevant?
Chevalier: The only thing you have to do is change the PUMA cat for the Dassler original cat. Also the RagCat would be a nice shoe to produce!

June 13th, 2008 at 4:17 am

August 13th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
Hey you i was just browsing n i came upon ur site. I think da PUMA concepts of others is totally dope. especially Da BEES!!!!!! Hot HOT HOTHHHHHOOOOTTTTT.
Damn near EXPLOSIVE!
Some people do not understand style that screams SWAG!!!! All of da concepts have their own Swag. Rather sexy, fly, cool, or just down right Relaxed wit a Kick!
I like all four of them. Just make sure they come in women’s sizes!
P.S….. Make it happen. Smooches

I like the design’s and the art work. My design would be a sneaker with a message board on the sole, where you can spell out a word for example youre high school mascot: Favorite city,team,player.club,or name of a person ect.

I want the cycling shoes!! it would be cool to see the Bee shoe in a cycling shoe as well… I would buy as soon as they were avaliable!
April 16th, 2009 at 6:03 am
Dudes. Whatever happened to those wicked soft – like butter-soft- sneakers , so light-weight that you didn’t even know you had anything on your feet? Circa 2007. Some shoe companies soprted them with the “yoga” shoes. Whatever in the world those are…
Just because they were good they are no longer available? Bummer. Chris in Boston
