Here at MensNeeds, were massive fans of low key. And this is the top of the lot really, low key colourway, on a stupidly underrated model. We like that stuff here.

Laces Out! came back bigger and better for the second installment, occupying the two main rooms of Liverpool's best venue.

Thinking back two or three years ago, Sneaker events were almost unheard of, especially in the UK. With the growth of the Sneaker Community in the past two years, events such as Laces Out!, 6ACRE and Crepe City have burst on to the scene, giving collectors and enthusiasts a place to meet up, buy, sell, trade and have a good time with like minded people.

It's always nice to see Puma getting onto the big scene, especially when it's a silhouette different to the Disc Blaze. Don't get me wrong I like the Disc Blaze, but not every-day. So it's nice to see size? working on the R698 and XS850 silhouette's.

You might remember back in January we brought you a first look at BWGH's collaboration with Puma for 2014. Now 5 months later they're beginning to surface.

Starting where 6ACRE II left off, III took it that extra step; adding an extra floor and plenty of extra stalls. The place was packed to the rafters with ridiculous amounts of heat, both new and old. But this wasn't the end of the story, many stalls were also holding accessories, clothing and art.

This week, images surfaced of another Puma Disc Blaze, and this time left to its original structuring. Sophia Chang has decided to keep this version of the Disc Blaze very simple with three mono-chromed colour ways.

The Puma Blaze of Glory started to make a big splash in 2013, and that seems to be continuing into 2014. Today we have three new colour-ways for the iconic silhouette.

The BWGH x Puma R689 was a huge release in 2013, even though many slept on them. Beautiful design and top quality materials, and these 2014 releases are no different.

Sneaker Freaker have recently turned their hand to retro Puma classics, first with the Puma Blaze of Glory 'Shark Attack', and now another edition of the Blaze of Glory, this time being dubbed 'Sharkbait'.

At the start of July we brought you word of the new styles that are set to stand at the forefront of the Puma Spring/Summer 2014 releases. One of which was the Compression 500 which we now can see 3 extra colour-ways of.

The Puma Disc Blaze is a much loved shoe in the world of the sneaker-head, with massive releases such as the Ronnie Fieg created 'Coves'. This pack is set to be just as big with the incorporation of Cork in the design.

Puma are set to have a huge 2014, after which has happened to be a very quiet 2013 with a small number of hit releases. 2014 is set to bring us the continued return on the XT1, what appears to be a R689 and a sick edition of the Disc Blaze Lite which will be on a separate post next.

I originally brought you news of a return for the Puma Trinomic XT1 Plus way back in March time, and it's finally emerged there will be a release of 3 colour-ways, not just the 1 that I had previewed.

Recently Hypebeast have collaborated with Puma for this iteration of the Glory Blaze, which is interestingly named "The Dim Sum Project". Personally I don't really understand the name, they try to explain it but I don't think they even know.

I haven't seen much news from the Puma camp recently. But this collaboration with Staple has put them back on my radar. The traditional Suede silhouette has been vamped up and is now named 'Pigeon'.

BlackRainbow of Paris have teamed up with Puma on this special edition of the R698, one of my favourite Puma silhouette's, and one which always evades my purchase.

I am a lover of Puma kicks, especially this model, it's a work of art. The Trinomic XT1 Plus was originally released in 1990, the Retro edition is finally here 23 years later.

Puma have collaborated with Solebox for the latest release of the classic Suede. With a sense of china with the "Year of the Snake'.
