We’ve seen plenty of sneaker designs utilizing denim or inspired by the traditional markers of a rugged workboot, but what happens when another layer of hybridization combines these blue-collar looks into one? The Puma First Round ‘Denim Pack’ is the best answer to that question we’ve seen to date, a unique two-pack applying rugged denim twill to the upper of a couple of old school basketballers that’ve had their court-ready cupsole replaced by a more seriously treaded boot bottom. Both silhouettes come in both a dark indigo look as well as black so you can cover all your bases, but given how popular the styles are these days, we’re somewhat surprised to not see grey and/or overdyed color pairs. Traditional in every sense except for their combination, these denim First Rounds are available now in Japan and can be seen in greater detail after the jump below. via EK
