Puma Clyde

The Puma Clyde is a classic shoe made popular by Walt "Clyde" Frazier. There are  few sneakers that truly garner the title of  classic and the Puma Clyde is one of them, especially with its basketball roots and casual prowess the Puma Clyde truly signifies all that Clyde Frazier was known for. Clyde was certainly known off-court for his snazzy dressing as well as his cool, calm, and collected exterior on the court. His personal style and nature seemed to rub off on this shoe as his only goal in 1973 as a New York Knick was for Puma to create a wider-fitting version of their suede basketball shoe. Puma went on to sign and endorse the athlete, later having  his nickname imprinted on every shoe.
