More retro footwear from Puma, this time a reissue of the Puma Argentina – and they’re very limited.

The original shoe was released in 1978 as a ‘thank you’ to the 10 Argentina players that wore Puma during their World Cup win. The trainers themselves were picked up on the terraces in Europe, before fading away. They’re back now in blue and in very limited numbers – just 240 pairs worldwide, each one sold with a limited edition fanzine of the history of the Argentina national side.

If you want ot pick a pair up, you can for £65.

Feeling nostalgic for Manchester’s most famous club? Well, you can get that bit closer to the Hacienda with these Adidas/Y-3 FAC 51 Hacienda trainers, created to celebrate the club’s 25th anniversary. Doesn’t that make you feel old?

Y-3 is an Adidas design offshoot, with these shoes being the work of Factory graphic designer Peter Saville, Hac interior designer Ben Kelly and New Order’s Peter Hook. They’re sold in a six-sided, maple-bottomed box (reflecting the Hacienda’s dancefloor) and wrapped in four sheets of tissue paper – two featuring Kevin Cummins’ photography of the club, one with original design sketches of the interior and a fourth featuring the building today. There’s also a DVD thrown in featuring anecdotes of the club from those involved.

As for the shoes? Well, you can judge for yourselves from the image above. Not cheap at £345, but there’s only 250 pairs available from Y-3 Manchester and Selfridges in London, so a collector’s scrum is guaranteed.
