Fresh New Kicks

Holiday gift-giving is around the corner, and you’re too old for Toys-R-Us and too young for a gift-wrapped pair of argyle socks. If you’re anything like us, nothing could kick off your Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa with more style than a fly pair of sneakers. Luckily you don’t have to wait for a fat fictional burglar in a red velvet suit to make your dreams come true. Treat yourself at the Puma Store for the Gear Up for the Holidays with Puma event.

This holiday shopping extravaganza is brought to you by Puma, Maxim/Blender, and Marie Claire. Aventura Mall will be jumpin’ with the sounds of DJ Sage, and there’ll be free-flowing complimentary cocktails by Mike’s Hard Lemonade, Pink Vodka, and Sauza Tequila. Get there early – the first 150 visitors receive a sweet Puma gift bag stuffed with swag from Def Jam Records, Garnier, Mally Cosmetics, and One Naturals. If you stick around till the end of the party, you could win the monster gift bag that contains a Microsoft Zune and a Puma watch. By the way, this event is for sneaker pimps ages 21 and older. Everybody in the mall’s getting tipsy from 7 to 9 p.m. Visit www.puma.com/gearup for details.
