Nothing Looks As Awesome As A Poison Frog
This is old news to sneakerheads and from my blog it is clear I am not one of that category, but for the sake of variety and because I admire the design and artistry in every field, Puma created a limited edition package of sneakers based on the colors of poison frogs. My sister tipped me off to these hot shoes and I must say, they are a textural and colorful delight.

Omg i love the colors of the frogs can't believe they are poisonous ! I don't like sneakers usually but i admit these ones are kewl..
whoa, those are some crazy "kicks". Clearly, I'm not a sneaker girl either but I do love those rain forest frogs! nature can be so beautiful.
Sweet! This reminds me of 4th grade when frogs like these were all the rage. We'd collect plastic kinds from the mall. Same era that ying yangs, smileys, and "Mean People Suck" accessories were sold at Claire's. Heh.
I'm definitely not one for sneakers, either, but the print is rather amazing. Frogs used to be my favorite animal.
Those are strangely hot! I love the color combinations and the unusual inspiration....
Craziness.
Are you ..making..ADVERTISING?!
When I was a kid I loved tree frogs!
wow this is amazing- love the bright colors!

When I was in high school, I was OBSESSED with Puma. Like, I gave all other kicks the cold shoulder. I refused to have a Jansport backpack and opted to use Puma shoulder bags. Oh Puma... :)
aw, i think poison frogs are so cute!
i love mimicry! nature is certainly the best inspiration!
ps. did you ever read fops and dandies?? i bet she would really love these sneakers if she was still around the fash blogosphere.
oo cool idea!
cool sneakers... would they still turn into a prince if i kissed them?!
When I first saw the picture I thought the colours had been edited, those frogs are insane! The sneakers are nice too, but I'm seriously in awe of the frogs.
so awesome!
i'm not a sneaker person either, i wore them today for some reason, but usually i'm not. i love the way they look on others, but they just don't suit me adn i don't get how to wear them with out looking 12.
I don't know when it happened, but I haven't worn sneakers in quite a long time.. I think I've become too dependent on heels. Now when I wear flats I feel so short!
love how the the sneakers have been inspired by the frogs.thats very unique.love it.

i love the colors of the frog. it's cool how nature can inspire fashion in different ways!
also, would u like to exchange links? i'll add you right now =]
I like their source of inspiration, and I'm a big fan of funky sneakers. :)
Those shoes look pretty awesome!
Animal designs are pretty cool.
Oh my, they are delicious! Good post, this one!

what a cool idea. nature never ceases to inspire!
oh gosh! Love it! Im not a sneaker person either but this is luh-uh-veh-lee
I'm going to have to agree with my fellow non-sneaker-lovers and say that these shoes look awesome! Loving the colours and textures!
Oh, I would buy them, they're cool.
I have never been very interested in Puma shoes...but those are rad. Frogs come in the most beautiful colors.
Mmm they're interesting. My brother and my boyfriend and all his friends are the real sneakerheads. I think my brother even has more shoes than I do! Except he keeps some of his in their boxes, unworn, with the tags.
Wow! I never thought that nature created anything 'blue' (most of it is purple/violet). This is very new to me. Thanks for sharing :)
Apparently the kids are getting high these days by licking poison frogs. Love the design on the tongue!
hey, what i ve found surprising here is the fact that poison frogs DO exist! i didnt know that. and their colors are amazing...not so sure about the shoes though...
Wow I can't believe those frogs are poisonous - they look so pretty! Love the puma sneaks though :)
They're not something I would wear but they are super spiffy. Some of my friends would love them.
I'm not much of a sneaker fan (besides some rather old Chucks) but I quite like these. The blue and pink ones look pretty!
I love Pumas, I have two pairs of them ;)
a kiss!
if i was to ever wear these, it would deff. be frog print ones!

Wow, who would have thought poisonous frogs would be such great style inspiration?
Puma is getting better & better! They have such awesome products now.
Beautiful! I love the blue ones :-)
