The driving shoes come in a black and silver colorway with the Gumball logo included on the tongue and a single orange lace eyelet. One of the includes features the date of this years event, with ‘Coast to Coast’ and some other graphics printed in bold. The other insoles features the names of some of the stops on the route.

9th Wonder x Puma
9th Wonder, a hip hop producer taking the industry by storm and working with everybody from Jay-Z and Memphis Bleek to Boot Camp Clik and Erykah Badu, has been blessed with what appears to be his very own personal Puma sneakers. We dont have any word on if this collaboration between 9th Wonder and Puma will officially release in store but either way the kicks are still dope.
As you may or may not know 9th Wonder is part of the Justus League so besides for the 9th Wonder logo inspired by the Wonder Bread logo on the insoles you also have plenty of details which reference the Justus League. The upper of the sneakers have a metallic finish with Justus League printed on the outter side of the upper on the left sneaker and the number 9 printed on the outer side of the right sneakers. The tongue has a gold Puma tag which includes “9th” printed on it as well as ‘JXJ’ printed on the actual tongue around the tag. The details dont stop there though. Multi-color lace eyelets were used as well as a translucent sole unit which displays some added details on the bottom such as “919″. Finishing up the sneakers is the letter J printed on the heel of the left sneaker and L printed on the heel of the right, both with a line of stars below the letter.
Follow the jump to take a look at more detailed pictures of the sneakers front to back. If we hear anything about an official release we will be sure to keep you posted. Via: Cliff Notes

Red Bull Racing x Puma Urban Racer
In what we believe is a collaboration between Puma and Red Bull we present to you a couple of new Puma Urban Racer’s. Spotted on Kenlu in a Puma ad, with some Fast and Furious 4 images used in it, were these three Puma Urban Racer shoes. All three of them use simple colorup of either black/red, white/black, or black/white. The black/red pairs would appear to be a limited release due to the fact that out of the three its the only one to have Red Bull branding on it with the Red Bull tag on the upper and Red Bull Racing printed on the tongue.
Since im only able to read English i cant really go into much detail about if these have anything to do with the Fast and Furious 4 or if the images were just used based on the fact the sneakers are a great pair of driving shoes used for racing and rally driving. Eitherway all three of these Red Bull x Puma Urban Racer models should be available now at select Puma retailers worldwide.
