Lightest Sneakers - PUMA L.I.F.T. Racer Tennis Shoes - retail price in s'pore $109
The lightest sneakers award may go to these new PUMA L.I.F.T. Racer Tennis Shoes, which Puma says is one of the most lightweight sneakers you will ever set foot in! These lightest sneakers feature L.I.F.T. technology, hence their name, which stands for Lite Injected Foam Technology, and has an unique construction which is created from lightweight foam injected into a mold, forming its upper in one piece to give you the most incredible fit with no excess weight. While most sneakers are made by compression molding EVA and gluing multiple pieces together, the L.I.F.T. Racer not only uses the injection molding process to reduce the amount of excess materials, it also eliminates the need for glue by stitching its mesh on to complete the upper, creating an all around lighter weight sneaker. With the combination of its micro suede trim and oval mesh, this sneaker provides maximum breathability, whether you're running at the gym or just walking around town. The shoe is inspired by speed and performance but it's also designed for style and function so you can wear them with a pair of jeans! And at only $75, these sneakers are a great buy that doesn't brake the bank! The L.I.F.T. Racer available in PUMA Concept Stores and Finish Line locations nationwide as well as online at store.puma.com and www.finishline.com starting March 14th, 2009. (It is also coming to Nordstrom and www.nordstrom.com this April.)
