UNDFTD x Puma Clyde Snakeskin Pack

Aaron Hope — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 22:30:33 +0000

Walt Frazier did lead the New York Knicks to their only two NBA Championsihps, but he was far from unbeaten in his Hall of Fame career. But Clyde’s classic Puma signature sneakers are most certainly Undefeated, as this latest collection of UNDFTD x Puma Clydes marks eight packs in the past ten months. The latest trio goes with leather uppers and contrasting snakeskin Formstripes plus white soles, the kind of simple yet expressive appeal that’s kept these lowtops in style for nearly four decades. Click through for shots of each pair and stick with Sneaker News for updates. via Sneaker Freaker

Puma Basket Classic City

Brendan Dunne — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 18:00:07 +0000

Last year was a huge one for the Puma Clyde thanks to the limitless UNDFTD releases, so which model from the German-born sneaker company will hit the hardest in 2012? It may be a bit too early to tell, but keep your eyes on the Puma Basket Classic City, a no-frills lowtop in the same vein as the ubiquitous Clyde. Our first peek at the sneaker for this year sees a nice tumbled leather applied to the upper in the tone of dark denim, the color which all but dominates the top half. Will we see a Puma Basket Classic City revival on the same scale of what the Clyde saw in 2011? Only time will tell, but for now hit the jump for the full look at Puma’s latest and grab these now from SneakersNStuff.

Puma Clyde Script TC

Do you like your Formstripes in a contrasting color, or would tonal suede better satisfy your preferences? If the answer happens to be the latter, you’re gonna love the next set of Puma Clyde Script releases, a trio that reprises the same basic colorways we saw on last summer’s colorways but opts to keep the contrasts to the white sole and the newly added toecap (hence the ‘TC’). Curious to see the script flipped, so to speak, with this batch of Clydes adding a feature common to a variety of basketballers even older than itself; how do they compare to the original? Let us know when you click through to see all three individually, and stick with Sneaker News for word on their availability. via Kenlu

Next Monday’s Chinese New Year is the earliest celebration in 45 years, so that gives sneaker manufacturers just enough time to surprise us with a few last-minute releases before the Year of the Dragon gets underway. Puma becomes the latest to join the party with this shoe and jacket combination, both done in the color most commonly associated with modern China. The Puma Suede and T7 jacket each offer their own take on vibrant red, the former opting for a woven suede that hints at dragon scales, and the latter offering a variety of graphic details both tonal and in contrasting gold. Click through and you’ll be able to see more photos of both items, then hit up your overseas connects to obtain them from Puma Hong Kong. via HB

Puma Bolt Lite

Brendan Dunne — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 07:00:07 +0000

The latest shot has been fired in the weight-wars of the sneaker world, with Puma pumping out the new Puma Bolt Lite collection. The four sneakers included in the capsule are quite the update from the sort of retro fare we’ve seen from the likes of UNDFTD over the past year, proving that the German brand is still every bit a contender in the realm of modern runners. Again utilizing the black and yellow combo characteristic of the Bolt collection, even the hightop version here clocks in lighter than the Nike Lunar Flow (check the photos after the jump for proof). Continue reading to get a good look at all four and grab these now from German retailer 43 Einhalb.

Puma Suede Classic Eco – Chili Pepper – Forever Blue

Aaron Hope — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 19:00:29 +0000

Puma has enjoyed a particularly strong year for a couple of its classics, thanks to some key collaborations and an overall commitment to quality that keeps these six-decade veterans relevant. The Puma Suede Classic Eco comes in a well-named colorway that combines Chili Pepper red suede with a Forever Blue Formstripe. The former fairly accurately denotes the caliente appeal of this pair’s bold, velvety upper, while the latter is a reminder that this silhouette will be around as long as there’s leather with a shaggy nap. Click through and you can see more of this true OG after the jump, then grab a pair from TGWO.
