What gives? Puma Guillermo Vilas GV Special not in the US?

I know it is a limited edition, and I understand Vilas may not be the household name in the U.S. like McEnroe, Connors, Smith or Ashe. But tennis fans know who he is, and those who love classic tennis kicks would love to get their hands on these special Pumas, which sport the year Vilas was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame on the back (1991), a photo of Vilas on the tongue, and a gold bull image (his nickname was "Young Bull of Pampas").

Vintage Tennis Fridays - PUMA GV SPECIAL

The GV Special shoes, from the PUMA archive in 1982, are one of the cornerstones of PUMA's past. Worn by G. Vilas during his successful career, this style features a PU midsole for comfort.

Holiday Bag from PUMA and Model Lydia Hearst

Lydia Hearst has teamed up with PUMA on the new version of their PUMA Lydia Bag (what a clever name) for the 2007 holiday season, called the PUMA Lydia Holiday Bag (an even more inspired name).

Modeled after PUMA’s high style French 77 Racket Bag, but with an all new eye-catching look and unique features, the PUMA Lydia Holiday Bag is the gift for the 2007 holiday season. Fun accessories including a silver metal carabineer to hold key rings, reflect Lydia Hearst’s luxurious but playful style.

For a holiday bag, shouldn't it have reds or greens? Or is that the type of question the fashionistas would scoff at me for? Color and naming aside, this is a sharp, sharp, sharp looking tote. I was also surprised a bit by the quite affordable $125 price tag. CHECK OUT THE LYDIA/PUMA HOLIDAY BAG AT PUMA.COM
