So whatever happened to that red box? The Blue Box Era has been going for a good while now and though it appears those photos of the white-branded vibrant red box could have just as easily said ‘BP’ as ‘SB’, the death knoll of the Blue Box is indeed sounding. Preston, UK’s Scene just got in their new shipment of Nike Skateboarding sneakers, and the new box is a complete departure for this series in its twelvth year, yet it feels totally familiar. Not only does the recycled look echo Nike Sportswear’s long-running default, but regular Sneaker News readers will remember that not only was the Nike SB Dunk Pro Book packaged in a similar fashion, but the cover of the spring 2013 catalog also featured the same ‘taped-up’ look. Let us know how you feel about the ”Delivered from the Future in a Cardboard Box” box and stick with Sneaker News for all the Nike SB Quickstrike release dates.
Puma always comes Nike Free 5.0 V3 through with new Clydes and Suedes and the Disc Blaze and its LTWT offspring have been pretty hot this year, but the German Cat looks to branch out with a wider variety of offerings heading into the colder part of the year. In the Puma Fall/Winter 2012 Lookbook, we see everything from the new Puma Trinomic Trail (which is, of course, based on the iconic R698 Jogger) to the resurrection of the ZDC 82 in commemoration of its 30th anniversary. Be on the lookout as these are arriving at select retailers worldwide and check out some more shots below to figure out where to start.
