PUMA x Noah Star

 


Introducing the PUMA x Noah Star. Well, not exactly…

The PUMA Star is a re-issue of the PUMA Wimbledon, a professional tennis shoe from the late ‘70s, named after the oldest and most prestigious of all Grand Slam Tournaments.

This model was never released in the USA, and although you are unlikely to see anybody playing tennis in them today, they embody the sport’s appreciation for tasteful performance and off-the-court elegance.




The design features a stitched-on rubber cup sole with a split herringbone traction outsole profile and a perforated Formstrip. For their debut in the American market, we opted to keep the sneakers white with blue, a nod to PUMA’s heritage colorways.


Noah is proud to bring back the PUMA Star classic silhouette for its global relaunch, available exclusively from Noah on June 29th and PUMA Select retailers on July 1.

Worst air quality city in the world

 


Clear sky in the morning at 8am to start a day in nyc then to orange sky around noon to ongoing for couple hours. Air quality index gradually begun to rise from the category "unhealthy" to "very unhealthy" to finally to "hazardous". This was the moment that New York City became the worst air quality city in the world.

We all smelled smoke, hurting my throat and eyes from wild fire from Canada.

The smoke and plunge in air quality resurrected scenes familiar from the pandemic lockdown in March 2020, and a feeling of helplessness against forces out of our control Masks returned to faces.

Is this a part of global warming cases? Definitely yes.
