so all this puma stuff is purely a way for them to promote their stylish sneakers to hipsters right? They aren't going to start making cycling stuff again or anything.(I am currently wearing puma sneakers)

Here in NYC they are. You dont see many "white boy" messengers. They're either black or foreign.

They do make that ridiculous "urban cyclist" jacket with the air filters and huge coat-tails... does anybody else remember that from last winter?

seems to me like a zipper over the ass and string though the crotch would not be conducive to riding a bike.

It's too bad that puma isn't trying to design ridable walkable cycling shoes though. Seems like thats what urban riders need more then some monstrous jacket.

I have one of those jackets, it is awesome! Designed for motorcyclists, so maybe the g-string thing works better for that. The strap is removable and the back is a nice flap for street slime/rain/snow/etc.

I used it a lot last winter and will do so this year as well.

As for shoes, that is in the future possibly. I for one would love to help out on that project!!
