Arguably one of the most beloved and significant shoes from PUMA’s past, the Clyde has been a part of contemporary sneaker culture since its inception in 1973. This time, Puma gave a material update of the re-issued shoe and added it into their 2008 spring season. Metallic leather is adopted and the word ‘Clyde’ is written in a cursive font in lower case (in place of the usual block lettering), which gives the luxurious impression. Unlike most sneakers in general, this Made In Japan model all but ensures a high quality product.

In the 12th issue of Sneaker Freaker magazine, a preview of the Sneaker Freaker x Puma “Blaze of Glory” II was shown. The first “Blaze of Glory” came in a grey colorway but this time, the sneaker will come in a nice black colorway. Unfortunately no information has been released on this shoe but keep checking back for more info. You can pick up this magazine now at Solebox.
A new pack of colorful Puma Clydes have dropped. Despite the relatively simple nature of the Clyde, Puma has three highly contrasting colorways on this basketball classic. The uppers feature buttery monotone colored suede with a contrasting color on the sole. The colors include green/violet, orange/blue and blue/red. Available now at Ubiq.
With the last few years bringing multi-colored and often complex themed release in abundance, we’ve seen an apparent return to the roots of many vintage and retro models which have quickly been integrated into the lifestyle market. Puma’s almighty Clyde can be seen in black, baby blue and red full leather uppers.

PUMA and No Mas have been teaming up in 2008 with releases of the PUMA X No Mas First Round LA and LE (Boston) to further celebrate last year’s exhibition of “The Lottery”. This month, the PUMA First Round is inspired by the city of Seattle.
Highlights of the PUMA x No Mas First Round Seattle include a green and yellow colorway with a white on white leather with embroidered lottery balls, three sets of laces with “No Mas” branding on the lace tips and the outsole.
A very limited number of pairs will drop exclusively at GOODS Seattle on Wednesday, April 30th.
The newest installment to the Vaughn Bode x Puma collection has hit select retailers. Originally conceived on the Clyde, this latest design inspired by legendary cartoonist Vaughn Bode is now transfered to the Puma Basket II. As well unlike its predecessors, these Basket IIs feature much more understated Cheech Wizard star references. Three colorways are available including black, red and white.

Following up on audaciously colored Disc Blaze comes a more subtle rendition from Puma in the form of the Suede. The two colorways are relatively tame with the inner lining on the gray/orange style referencing the popular Russian video game, Tetris. Available now at Flauge.
The proliferation of vintage treatments to sneakers and its trickle down effect sees the venerable Puma Clyde undergo a faded and weathered look. In all honesty, with suede and its impossible upkeep, this gimmick is all but unnecessary as the first freak rain storm or spilling of beer on your suede Clydes/Suedes will leave the same effect seen here. However, classic colorways seen here definitely shouldn’t be overlooked. Look for a worldwide roll out soon.

1987 marked the debut of not only one of the most iconic skate graphics of all time, the “Screaming Hand” but also the release of Puma’s popular First Round Hi. As an homage to the most credible skate brands around, Puma will release a Screaming Hand influenced First Round Hi sneaker, including a matching t-shirt. The First Round features many design influences linked to the Jim Phillips designed Screaming Hand. Four different laces will be included upon the release, which has yet to be announced.

In a trend that began earlier this year with Solebox, Puma has been reaching out to some of their most prominent accounts and supporters and supplying them with special Puma Clydes. Gary Bone of Livestock was the latest on the receiving end of a new pair of Clydes featuring hand drawn graphics on an all white sneaker and “1 of 1” printed on the inside.
The latest bold concept to come out of the Puma creative lab is this upcoming Puma Suede 4th of July Firecracker Pack. Created with a strong likeness to your typical 4 of July activities, the monotone uppers feature a detailed tongue label complete with mock fuse and an image on the heel. If you aren’t down for the shenanigans of a concept like this, at the root of each pair is still a versatile pair of sneakers. No word on a release date, but typical of holiday-related releases, except these to drop in June.
