Puma’s 1970s Easy Rider III trainers return

Posted on | Leave a comment

Easyrider

Puma has been digging deep into its archives for the new season, with one of the finds being the Puma Easy Rider III trainers.

It's an almost exact replica of the original 1978 Easy Rider, originally designed as a cross country trainer, but probably more use as a casual shoe these days, mixing nylon and suede, along with the usual Puma slash and that hefty sole, complete with moulded dimples for plenty of grip.

Take your pick from three old school colour ranges (including the two above), with a price of around £55 from April 2009.

If you are looking forward to seeing the big-screen version of Damned United as much as we are, you might want to put the date of Tuesday 24th March in your diary – that's the date of ScreenTalk with Michael Sheen for The Damned United.

It takes place at London's Barbican, offering an advance screening of the movie, along with a chance to meet and chat with headline act Michael Sheen (who plays Brian Clough), director Tom Hooper and producer Andy Harries.

If you've not heard of the movie, it's an adaptation of the David Peace novel, which is a fictionalised account of Brian Clough's short-lived stay as Leeds United manager in 1974. Check out the trailer for a better idea of the movie and follow the link below for tickets to the Barbican event, priced from £11.50.

Vivicam

Most of the retro compact cameras on the market are high-end, high-priced objects. That's not the case with the ViviCam 8027.

But despite that budget price tag, it's not a bad little thing, both in terms of 60s-like styling (loving the leather outer) and in specification. For your money, you get an 8.1 megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom, anti-shake technology, red-eye removal a 2.4-inch LCD screen, SD card slot, VGA video recording and a rechargeable battery. Pretty much everything you need for some casual snapping.

And all for an expected price tag of just £70.
