Decent durability

Sporting a leather upper, the PUMA Clyde Core channels the original structure of the PUMA Clyde. This low-top sneaker features the signature PUMA Formstripes on its lateral sides with the perforrated detailings along its perimeter.

In the late 1960s, PUMA introduced the PUMA Suede silhouette in which its suede upper was considered a “technological upgrade” at that time when it comes to durability.

The silhouette made garnered popularity when it was seen on the foot of 1968 Olympic winners, Tommie Smith (Gold Medal) and John Carlos (Bronze Medal).

PUMA then grew the desire of taking over basketball just like its other big competitors, Nike and Adidas. 

Good for wider feet

In 1973, the brand approached Walter “Clyde” Frazer, a New York Knicks all-star player, after taking notice of him for wearing the PUMA Suede before the in games. PUMA sealed a deal with the pro and after a series of brainstorming, they released the PUMA Clyde.

Also sporting a suede upper, the PUMA Clyde features a wider toe box. The shoe captured a good number of fans during its launch. But eventually, the popularity of the shoe receded. In the 90s, reissues of the Clyde surfaced and they were introduced in a wide variety. 

Multi-color options 

Despite being modifications of the OG PUMA Clyde, these versions of the shoe still retain the original design, and PUMA continues to release more variations of the Clyde up to this day. The PUMA Clyde Core is another iteration of the OG PUMA Clyde.

It features a synthetic leather upper, unlike the traditional suede material used on the Clydes. The model comes in different colorways, including blue/white, pine green/yellow, and black/red/white to mention a few.

PUMA Clyde Core offers a versatile design 

The tongue of the PUMA Clyde Core is built with tumble leather with the traditonal PUMA branding and the signature Cat Logo.

The “Puma Clyde” callout in gold can be observed on the sides just right about the remarkable PUMA Formstripes. Built with rubber midsole and outsole. Comes with flat laces that are monochromatic to its colorway.
