A fitting resurrection of a heritage runner, the PUMA CELL Venom is one stylish sneaker that has made a serious comeback. While there have been countless revivals of heritage runners by several other brands the sneaker community couldn’t get enough of this lightweight, breathable, and cushioned runner from the 1990s. Its affordable pricing and chunky shoe look are also the main reasons why these vintage kicks with CELL Technology and translucent air pods are becoming popular again.

Cushioning

PUMA’s CELL cushioning technology remains to be the highlight of the 1990’s revival. The CELL Technology is a series of Sky cells embedded in the midsole that provided cushioning, especially in the heel area.

Also noticeable in the design is the PUMA CELL Venom’s lacing system, translucent air pods at the back heel, and the rugged outsole that clearly shows that the sneaker was a product of the ‘90s.
