The Puma Clyde ranks among one of the companies most iconic shoes in it’s extensive back catalogue. Sitting alongside it’s fellow formstripe comrades the Suede and States, it’s one of the most versatile shoes in the brands offering. Fairly simple both visually and technically, the Clyde was one of the first signature basketball shoes ever, whereby an athlete fully endorsed the style and the shoe bore his name in lights across the side. Famously renowned for his off-court swagger, the clean-cut suede upper on the low-top profile reflected Walt Frazier’s personality perfectly. Regularly turning up to games in a Rolls Royce, rocking full mink get-ups together with his suits, and completing the look with his signature hat, Frazier was the NBA’s undisputed king of style.

The Clyde returns in 2016 in an array of colourways that resemble a classic palette from the original era of reign on the court. The red with white stripe is reminscent of a rare Made in Yugoslavia version, the black underlay on pair number two sets the perfect backdrop to pop off the deep navy accents, and the third and final gold pair are almost symbolic of Clyde’s reign at the top of the game throughout the 1970’s.

All three colourways of the Puma Clyde OG are available online and in selected size? stores now.
