THE HISTORY OF THE BLAZE OF GLORY
With a structural array of equal sized lightweight cells, the TRINOMIC tech provided an optimum balance between cushioning, stability and flexibility and near perfect long-term memory and strength. The design comprised of primarily air filled, hexagonal-shaped cells in both the heel and forefront areas of the sole in the original styles. The flexible structure was originally made of highly elastic materials with extraordinary features that made it resistant, light, highly substantial, and long-lasting.
The TRINOMIC triangle logo represents the three benefits of the technology: cushioning, stability and flexibility. The TRINOMIC technology reigned supreme in PUMA athletic footwear styles through the 1990s.
This dynamic new product feature was used in the beginning for running, but eventually became a crucial piece of the basketball lineup as well.
2006 - BLAZE OF GLORY
After the late 1990s, PUMA scaled back its use of the TRINOMIC technology until the early 2000s, with the introduction of new styles like the R698, and most notably, the Blaze of Glory. The shoe was inspired by the ground-breaking PUMA DISC Blaze style from the 1990s, this time, with laces. The Blaze of Glory made its debut in 2006, although it wasn’t until 2008 when it really began to take off due to a series of collaborations, most notably with SneakerFreaker. The shoe was one of the most padded and plush versions of the TRINOMIC cushioning ever produced, designed with a unique new upper, signature cage lacing system, and comfortable sock construction.
2022 - AN ICON REBORN
In 2022, PUMA is once again celebrating the power of three, bringing back the TRINOMIC tech bigger and better than ever with three footwear styles based in both lifestyle and performance. This new line up uses the three elements, which inspired the original TRINOMIC technology and triangular logo, to merge the past with the future for a new range of styles.
