Damon Does: Project Puma

You might have heard that Puma recently created an individual shoe for Red Sox superstar Johnny "Caveman" Damon. The sneakers, converted Romas, are numbered 18 and labeled with a "Johnny D", making these $80 dollar kicks look pretty fabu. What's even more fabulous about them is that for every shoe bought, Puma made a donation to UNICEF for the Red Sox centerfielder. (But isn't the official charity of the Red Sox the Jimmy Fund?)

Puma sold out of these on the first day of release, so if you want them now, better try E-bay. But if you'd rather be a superstar yourself, why not journey over to the Puma location on the waterfront and pick up a wear-tester application? Seriously, making it all the way down to the waterfront Puma makes Bostonist think we deserve a reward (free shoes). Wear testing is just like a test drive, but for four weeks, and on your feet. If you've got Cinderella feet (9 men, 7 women), Puma has some shoes for you. They'll give you access to a website where you can ask to be sent some dope test model shoes in the mail. Wear them. Rate them. And after four weeks send them back. We reccomend you zap them with a little deodorant before sending them back, if you want to stay in the program. New hip high tops in the mail every 4 weeks? Even Carrie would be jealous.
