Puma is the latest big athletic brand to enter the skate market with this preview of a Puma Skate Clyde designed for skater Scott Bourne. Details are currently unknown aside from the renderings. From a design perspective, the only physical difference is the inclusion of a thicker padded tongue and some obvious design details seen on the heel. Some may wonder if the cushioning will be upgraded for the rigors of skating. The shoes will come packaged with 3 sets of laces, each with metal tips. An estimated release period isn’t until Fall/Winter 2008.
