This year has been and will be a good year for smaller or less hyped trainer brands plundering their archives and vaults for old silhouettes to re release,Le Coq Sportif have done wonders with the Flash and forthcoming R1000. Similarly Puma have pulled a blinder by retroing the XT-1,hopefully out before the year is done.However the big cats have again done a good job with the Compression 500 ,a new model created to look like a long lost silhouette from a few decades ago.
Styled like an early 90s runner ,with definite hints of the Puma Duplex, in the best ways possible using the always good suede and mesh combo but with an appliance of modern shoe science. These will be available in 4 colours,with the grey and white models definitely recalling colour schemes of trainers from that golden age of (In my humble opinion of course) casual sportswear.No actual release date exists yet however I would guess at late 2013 or very early 2014.
