Back in January this year I wrote about the Globe Superfly, he’s are hot little special edition with the vulcanised rubber sole (”superfly vulc”): David Gonzalez “Puzzle” fire red.

Curiously named Armada XLT makes a trifecta for osiris starting with the bronx, then tranzor now another similar looking “bronx with a few extra bumpers” the Armada. The side to side air bubble has to be a bit of a minus for the shoe, making it another “skate style” skate shoe, with bronx so ubiquitous i’ll be glad to treat my feet to something less common, like paint splattered effect.

If nike can have their sb dunks and 6.0 then adidas can have a me too skate brand too.

OCT 1st 09 release available at (with two sets of laces w-hooo, just like real skates shoes

With Puma Ulimited’s, Sky hi and Sky II’s, First Round S, L an even LX it’s real nice to see another hi-top offering from Puma… at least this one is a bit different in having have a much more 80’s silhouette to it (not a surprise considering its an 80’s re-release). The Slipstream Monster edition is a real dogs dinner of what Puma describes as “intimidating” new colours, faux horse hair leopard skin pattern fabric and reptile, stingray and ostrich emboss prints – a puma zoo I think, two colours ways already on sale and limited edition black and red on the way for Christmas.

Also up for next year is a release of the first round vulc, as the name suggest a version of the ubiquitous first round with a vulcanised rubber sole.
