Puma "Carson" Sneaker

Now and days everyday athletic shoes are the craze. I just recently purchased a pair of Puma "Carson" Athletic shoes. These shoes have a lightweight slick design that is meant to hug the foot. That is how design gets you, never would I guess that I would be buying Puma shoes, not because I couldn’t afford them, because the designs were never appealing to me. The designs that Puma has made in their sneakers were always way to flashy and tacky for my taste.

Getting to the Puma sneakers I bought, they are black with a white sole and neon green highlights throughout. The design of the sole lifts the heels up to add further comfort to the foot, when running, hiking etc.The laces are close together and lifted closer to the leg, this specific features allows the shoe to bend in a way where the laces don't get in way of the top crease. As I wore these shoes I am able to stand on my feet all day, without feeling exhausted.

The sneaker, has Pumas signature 3 stripes on the inner and outer part of the shoe, in a shimmer grey. The neon color highlights makes the shoe pop but can only be seen in logo in the rear of the first two holes where the laces go through. The PUMA letters are on the tong and the puma logo is on the heal of the shoe. If you look closely at the fabric material used to make the shoes, a patter of random position rectangles are visible in a dark grey.

What I found unnecessary were the crater circles put on the sides of the shoe sole, it seem like the designer didn’t like he smooth, but sometimes adding nothing should be option. The shoes don't give ankle support because they are a low top design. Maybe I'm just getting picky now but that is very important when making an athletic shoe.

I recent years I have seen the changes made in designing new sneakers, they aren’t bulky or futuristic like before. Now they cater to the everyday person whom is seeking a comfort shoe with casual style.
