Puma continues to dazzle and amaze its fans in 2008 with a duo of First Round Skates that will fly off shelves soon. These high-top skate shoes feature exaggerated padding on the heel for ankle support as well as a classic skateboarder look. The premium suede used throughout the shoe is soft to the touch and looks great on the board and on the streets. A puffy tongue prevent rubbing on the top part of the wearer’s foot and brings back elements of the sneaker world from the 1980s.

There are two colorways offered in this version of the Puma First Round Skate. I posted the black/red colorway first due to its sleek look and simplicity. The second colorway is blue and white which would be a fantastic consolation prize if the first shoe is not available. These skate shoes continue Puma’s efforts in 2008 to relive the brand’s past while adding new twists to classic looks.
