Global
Sports Brand PUMA and influential Berlin-based sneaker store, Solebox release
the first part of Adventurer Pack trilogy with the archive running silhouette,
the Trinomic XS850.
The
PUMA Adventurer Pack consists of three drops set to launch throughout the year.
The idea behind it references a time in the late 90s, early 2000s, when
resourceful European sneakerheads frequently ventured to the United States to
source rare, vintage or new footwear that were unavailable in their local
markets. Selling these exclusive imports soon turned out to be a profound
business model and in some cases laid the foundation to the opening of an actual
store.
The
Trinomic XS850 Adventurer Pack was inspired by Solebox founder Hikmet’s
adventures in the United States. He not only brought rare sneakers to Berlin
but also picked up an addiction to Jelly Belly – a true American jellybean
treat. His favorite flavor, the Berry Blue, was the inspiration to the
footwear’s colour way.
The
XS850 was first introduced in the 90’s and was renowned for its distinctive use
of the revolutionary PUMA Trinomic System - hexagonal honeycomb-like cells in
the sole that compressed and rebounded load. It quickly found favor amongst
runners who enjoyed the cushioned ride. Now it’s found its way from the track
to the streets.
The Trinomic XS850
Adventurer Pack will retail for R1 899.
The sneakers can be found at PUMA SELECT stores in Cape Town, Bree
Street and Braamfontein, Johannesburg from 27 June.
