Design your own Puma takkies

Puuuuuuuuuuuma
Remember the old Puma Mongolian Shoe Barbeque? Yeah – that was the stand in the Puma store that allowed you to create and build your own Puma takkie. Well it’s back, but this time with an updated iPad twist.
PUMA will provide all the needed tools to let consumers be the designer, including fabrics, materials and use of an Apple iPad for rendering the final design. Customers start by choosing a footwear style – either the Basket or First Round – and then mix and match colours and fabrics to create a truly one-of-a-kind kick.
Once customers finalise their design on the iPad and pay for their creation, the order is sent to a production facility where the product is assembled. Approximately 6 weeks after the order is placed, customers will be notified by email that they can pick up their one-of-a-kind pair of shoes.
The PUMA Creative Factory unit will be on display at the PUMA Social Club pop up venue [120 Buitengraght Street] on Thursday 2, Friday 3 and Saturday 4 December. Cape Town sneaker lovers can design and create their shoes, save it on the unit and then pay for it at the PUMA store where it will become a permanent fixture as of 8 December 2010.
If you don’t wanna be caught dead with the same takkie as the bra shooting pool next to your at Castro’s on a Friday night – then this is the shoe for ya’.
