Puma Suede

The suede basketball shoe that became a classic of hip-hop and street style.

Puma launched the shoe in 1968 as a basketball shoe, and it later became known as the Clyde after the basketball player Walt Frazier. The shoe had a broad sole and a suede upper.

It became common in breakdance and hip-hop culture in the 1980s and has been made in many colours since.
