Update: YO! MTV Raps x Puma First Round Sneakers

After finding out last week that the YO! MTV Raps x Puma First Round sneakers were coming out yesterday (April 19th), I got pretty excited. What’s not to love about these pink and white Puma high tops, right?


So I ran down to my local designer sneaker store to see if I could get my hands on a pair. I was pretty excited when I saw them sitting on a shelf with the other newly released wave 3 YO! MTV Raps x Puma sneakers, especially when I found out this particular store was the only shop in Houston (and possibly the state of Texas) to have gotten them in. Things were looking good until I found out they didn’t get a pair in stock that would fit my size 14 feet. Let’s just say The Blot was not a happy camper at that point.


The YO! MTV Raps x Puma First Round sneakers are selling for $85 retail and the store here in Houston still had a bunch of pairs in stock as of yesterday afternoon. But don’t sleep on these limited edition sneakers, because once they’re sold out they’ll be gone forever. If you’re looking for a pair and can’t find them in your area, hit me up and I’ll give you the details for the store here in Houston.

YO! MTV Raps x Puma First Round

This weekend The Blot saw a picture of some of the best sneakers I’ve seen in a very long time and I have got to get a pair. At the end of last year Puma unveiled a line of limited edition shoes and clothing which pays tribute to the classic MTV television show YO! MTV Raps. The YO! MTV Raps x Puma shoe and clothing line honors the history of hip-hop and some of its greatest ambassadors including Doctor Dre and Ed Lover, Big Daddy Kane, MC Shan and Doug E. Fresh.


The new YO! MTV Raps First Round sneaker is the first high-top shoe in the line and they are sick. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words...so check these bad boys out below in a picture courtesy of TheShoeGame.com:


The previously released limited edition YO! MTV Raps sneakers came in Puma’s Suede and Clyde styles and many are already sold out around the world. Here is just a sampling of some of the sneakers and clothing that make up the YO! MTV Raps x Puma line:
