The Puma Disc Blaze was cool way before Ronnie Fieg started doing $200 collabs on it. According to Hanon, the Puma Disc was introduced in 1991, in a limited run of 5000 pairs, as the world’s fastest non-lacing system.
A few short years later, in 1993, the Puma Disc Blaze debuted. The Disc matched the ’90s “technology” craze — it was new, it looked cool, and it worked with fluorescent colors. However, Puma also had a new cushioning technology: Trinomic. Very similar to what Reebok was calling Hexalite, Puma developed clear rubber hexagonal cells that could absorb impact by contracting and expanding. The cushioning system looked awesome and made its way into the R698, Disc, Blaze of Glory, etc. It’s still comfortable, but only for an hour or two — it bottoms out quickly.
Now, Puma has a very ’90s Disc Blaze ‘Electric’ colorway releasing overseas at Hanon. The simple white upper pops with Safety Yellow accents on the cage, heel, and outsole. Black takes care of the inner guts and Disc lacing system. This colorway is available at Foot Locker EU and should arrive Stateside soon.
