Puma Gear!

One of the coolest sample shares I've gotten to take part of to date is the "Keep Running — PUMA Mobium Athletic Shoes and ACTV Apparel Sampling." Puma sent me a shirt, jacket, running tights, and shoes to try out. I have to say, I'm a tad bit in love!! Here's the specifics:

Shoes: Mobium Elite in fluo peach (I'd call it bright orange, lol). retail $110. These shoes are designed to move how you move. The design of the shoes expands and contracts with your foot as you run. I definitely saw this as I tried them out! They are hands down the most comfortable shoes I've ever tried on! As I walked and ran, I could feel them moving with my feet. I love the color, also! The only down size was that although they fit perfectly, I had to fight a bit to get them on. I had the same issue with the last pair of running shoes I bought, so it's probably just me!!

Tights:
Puma Performance Bodywear Tech ACTV Long Tights in blackberry cordial. retail $100. I was skeptical of these at first. As I pulled them on, my husband giggled as I struggled to make them go on. The went on like stubborn dress tights. Of course the tag had instructions on how to easy put them on....I just didn't read them until after--D'OH! These tights include athletic tape on the inside--the tag reads "engineered to micro-massage the skin via strategic compression in the right place at the right time which can help maximize your work out and energy supply." I do have to say that once I got them on, I didn't want to take them off! Despite them showing off my "mommy pouch" until I covered it with my shirt, these are the single most comfortable article of clothing in my dresser.

shirt: V-neck training tee in grape-limeade. retails $25. the shirt is comfy. It's not overly clingy. I can breathe in it. I love the color. And best of all, it's affordable! 

jacket: Pure NightCat Reflective Running Jacket in black. Retails $100. When I opened up the jacket, I was surprised by how thin it was. However, it's performance was not lacking! It was a cool 43 degrees (and dark!) when I headed out to try out my gear, and the jacket held out. I like how it was comfortable (I know, I keep using that word!!) and that the pockets zip (The current running jacket I use does not have zipping pockets!). I love how reflective it is. There is almost no traffic on my street (we are one of maybe 15 houses on a dead-end), but if I took a right and went on the main road, I would have almost no fear of getting hit. I just had to take a photo with the flash on to illustrate!

Over all, after trying on the gear, I would highly recommend Puma gear! It's cute, comfy, and, most importantly, highly functional. Check out my photos below, and let me know what you think!

"flex challenge." :)
