Puma XR Runner

Puma Basket 68 Print

This pack looks like it somehow belongs to the recent MTV series but you would be mistaken.... the graphic is actually inspired by comic book illustrations from the early ‘70s. It's bright, it's crazy and the execution of the concept with the poppin' colours and gloss pick ups is very well done indeed.

Sneaker Freaker


The great guys over at Snkr Frkr HQ had a lot of opportunities to actually work with any sneaker company they want on a collaboration. Being the guys that they are, they actually chose a little known model in the sneaker circle, the Lacoste Missouri 85. Being true to themselves and just doing something which they really like; they have achieved their goal on a collab that launched the pair into the global scene.

It was a great success and have spawned a hunger among sneaker heads worldwide who wondered what their next collab will be!




Moving forward to 2008, they have finally released pictures of their chosen pair which they have laid their magical hands on.....The Puma Blaze of Glory!!*


We are waiting!!! with great anticipation..

*Further details of the pair is available in Sneaker Freaker #11

Nike Air Max Light

Latest to arrive at Sole What? is this no frills and back to basics pair of Air Max Light. The colorway is subtle and reminiscent of the OG Air Max 1 that was introduced back in 1987!

For those that missed out on the OG Air Max 1, u may now have a second chance in getting a similar colorway.

Skull camo print....

The lines are so darn neat, it can pass off as a production piece.

The textures are great stuff.

Special Edition Nike (Jan '08)

January sees the timely arrival of two special edition Nike kicks @ Sole What?

The first is the Chinese Zodiac related products prior to Chinese New Year for the growing Chinese market globally. This year marks the Year of the Rat and Nike has chosen the Wildwood 90 Free Trail Premium as the core shoes in celebrating this Chinese Zodiac Year. This Hybrid fuses the Wildwood, Air Max 90 and the Free Trail.

Laser etched "RAT" on the upper

Neat detail of the white rat among the black ones on the insole.


The 2nd pair is to emphasize that 2008 is an important year for Beijing because Olympic will begin this Summer. And it seems Nike is starting to promote some Chinese cultures like “China/Chinese Rock Festival” as a kick off.

"An important step in the development of Chinese rock music had been the Beijing Midi School of Music in Beijing. Established 1993 by Zhang Fan, it was the first school in China offering classes for jazz music and rock music. Started as a school festival in 1999, the Midi Modern Music Festival advanced to the largest rock music festival in China with up to 80000 visitors and over 100 bands. Both the school and the festival supported the underground scene in China and opened the door for over 18 foreign bands in 2006 to perform at the festival and throughout the country."



Both pairs are now available in-store.
