Release date: September 6, 2017

Puma has been getting a lot of buzz lately for both their new products and viral marketing campaigns. When the released their new Tsugi Netfit sneakers on September 6, 2017, the pair was accompanied by series of promotional images featuring The Weekend. The ads depict the pop singer lounging about wearing the first Tsugi Netfit up for public purchase. Each pair costs $95 but can be marked-down to only $49.

Pros

Part of what makes Puma’s Tsugi Netfit sneaker unique is its level of interactivity with the wearer. With its quirky construction, the shoes can be laced up whichever ways one chooses. The laces became a design feature themselves and adds to the overall design impact of the pair. Although Puma hasn’t release a lot of colorways for the Tsugi Netfit shoes, its first one—powder blue and pastel gray—is already iconic for the model.

Cons

While uniqueness in design may be amazing, uniqueness in construction is another thing altogether. With how the Tsugi Netfit is assembled and crafted together, there’s pause for concern surrounding the model’s durability. This is especially if wearers would want to lace up their pair in new and non-traditional ways. As this is a sports shoe, wearing this pair—particularly when laced in a nonconventional way—can lead ultimately lead to damage and possibly accidents for the wearer.
