Profile of the Puma Clyde Court Disrupt

The original Puma Clyde first appeared in 1973. It was the much celebrated signature shoe of Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier who led the New York Knicks to two NBA championships.

In 2018, the Clyde is transformed into the Clyde Court Disrupt. It is a perfect blend of throwback and current. It has the vintage looks that give it that undeniable lifestyle appeal. 

Good traction on various floor types 

But it also features the innovative NRGY and IGNITE foams that deliver impact protection and court feel.

It also has reliable support features and great multidirectional traction on various floor types. “We’ll take inspiration from the past, but we won’t be tied down by it.” Puma couldn’t have said it better.

Caged foam stabilizes the foot

The Puma Clyde Court Disrupt features a hybrid or combination of NRGY and IGNITE in the midsole.

NRGY foam powers the wearer’s every step while the IGNITE caged foam stabilizes their ride. The synergy of both these foams delivers amazing impact protection and court feel.

Great multidirectional grip

The outsole of the Clyde Court Disrupt is the inverse of that of the original. This means that what is recessed in the original is raised here, and what is raised in the original is recessed here.

Nevertheless, this pattern has a great multidirectional grip on many types of floors, effectively supporting the player’s aggressive movements as he drives toward the basket.

Provides support 

These Puma basketball shoes are advertised as true to size, but new buyers both online and offline are advised to find ways to first try these shoes on just to be sure about the fit.

The revived Puma Clyde provides support in a number of ways. First is through its laces. 

Secure fit 

The lacing system is a bit modified in the sense that the last two loops are located way down, almost in the lower half of the rear lateral and medial sides.

This setup allows the shoe, especially the rear part, to grasp the ankle and the whole foot more securely when the laces are tightened.

Keeps the foot from sliding

Second is through the heel counter that works in synergy with the heel cage to keep the wearer’s ride stable and secure. Their synergistic effect also stops the foot from sliding out of the footbed.

A large part of the upper is made of engineered knit that is designed to deliver huge amounts of support, flexibility, and breathability. It is made durable, too.

Puma Clyde Court Disrupt offers comfort and better fit

The integrated tongue and collar is made of a stretchy material that is engineered to deliver the perfect blend of flexibility and support. The inner sleeve of the shoe is generously padded to further ensure comfort and deliver a better fit.

A reimagined version of a 1973 sneaker icon, the Puma Clyde Court Disrupt has an undeniably vintage look that makes it such an attractive shoe for casual use. It is often paired with joggers and even denims.
