I was once this good at skateboarding.

PUMA is getting back into the skateboarding scene with these 3 brightly colored PUMA S skate shoes. [via]

I’m not a big fan of the colors here, but the shoes themselves are pretty nice. They come with added padding all over and fat laces which are always welcome on any sneaker on my feet. Yum!
