July 26, 2005 Do the 'Cue There was a time when a custom shoe was the height of luxury. Made to order meant a leather upper that fit a gentleman's foot like no other. Hella posh. But would it survive a game of street hockey? Cut to summer of 2005. Tennis shoe maker Puma serves up kicks with personalized flavor. The Mongolian BBQ shoe is an appetizing fashion statement designed by you. Start with the plain-as-white-rice '80s style Cabana Racer shoe. Choose your materials from over 30 pre-cut fabrics and map out your design. Your masterpiece will be ready for pick-up in four to six weeks. But just because you can customize a shoe … should you? Maybe some shoes aren't meant to be made. Pick your materials carefully or you could wind up with a pair of kicks that's as ugly as the smell you put inside them. This barbecue is a traveling feast and was supposed to leave L.A. in mid-July. Puma decided to keep the 'cue on the grill a few days longer — but you still only have until this Sunday to partake. Chopsticks optional. Make your own Mongolian BBQ Puma for $130 at: Puma Concept Store 1350 Third Street Promenade Santa Monica, CA 90401 Tel: 310.458.2777
