Global Sports Brand PUMA gives a preview of its new silhouette for the season ahead with the PUMA Blaze Croc Hunter Pack.

The all-new Blaze is an evolution of PUMA’s most iconic running silhouette. Taking its inspiration from the original Blaze of Glory, the sneaker has been edited to include a fold-over tongue as well as an iconic PUMA formstrip across the lateral side of the sneaker.

Available in both Black and Bone White, the sneaker’s premium construction features a light air mesh across the vamp with smooth leather overlays and a croc embossed leather on the heel for an added touch. The sneaker is finished with a popped heel–piece on the outsole.  

The PUMA Blaze Croc Hunter pack can be found at Anatomy for the retail price of R1799.

The Blaze of Glory, an icon known for its material play as well as its tech and sporty sole, has been merged with BAPE® for an all-over design treatment.

Designed using team replica football jerseys, the FC BAPE® Replica Shirts (R999) have a camo print in addition to reflective piping on the sleeves for a streetwear edge. The shirts can be coupled with the FC BAPE® Replica Shorts (R999) in the collection.
