The iconic Puma Clyde popularized by Hall-of-Fame basketball player, Walt Frazier, of the NY Knicks, receives a premium update for its latest iteration this summer.

A silhouette that was first introduced in 1968, the sneaker’s simplistic design still emits modern and stylish flair till this day. Treated in plush suede across its upper, the component is rendered in a vibrant yellow gold hue, while contrasting accents of black are prominent on the laces and formstripe branding across its side panels.

All resting atop a clean, white full-length rubber sole unit, the sneaker is also detailed with cursive gold foil branding across its sides. You can find this pair at select Puma retailers nationwide now.

This pair is perfect for on and off the basketball court. The colorway is really appealing and I’m biased towards its simple design.

Puma is a brand that doesn’t really use the sock-like construction on a lot of their models. Looking to change things up, Puma has created the Puma Ignite EvoKnit.

This brand new model has an upper that utilizes a knit upper that is known as Puma’s “Proknit”. In addition to the woven upper, it also comes with the aforementioned sock-lie ankle collar that helps give the shoe its modern look and feel. Below you will find a Blacked-out sole unit equipped with grooves that matches the mudguard. Other features on the shoe include the nylon straps on the heel and ankle that not only add support and structure but are also a part of the lacing system. Releasing tomorrow, let us know what you think about the shoe.

And the knit sock wave continues. German lifestyle brand Puma has always been the proud purveyor of some iconic retro models, but now they’ve updated their release schedule to fit the trendy Puma Ignite EvoKnit into the mix. The silhouette utilizes both a knit construction known as “Proknit” and a sock-like ankle collar to stay up to date with the times while this particular colorway will bring memories of some of Nike Sportswear’s best “Oreo” renditions. A unique midsole features interesting grooves to match the mudguard while nylon straps add support on the heel and ankle to hold the laces together. What do you think of Puma’s latest? Check out detailed on-foot shots below and know that the Ignite EvoKnit will be available at select retailers on July 1st.

BMW gets together with Puma to collaborate on a futuristic looking sneaker. The Puma X-Cat Disc dons a sleek look we’ve never seen on the model before. Let’s get a closer look.

The BMW x Puma X-Cat Disc is a combination of the futuristic design of Puma’s Disc model with the streamlined power and efficiency of BMW. The shoe is inspired from one of BMW’s innovative concept car, the GINA Light Visionary Model. The concept car features a fabric outer shell that stretches over the car?s chassis. The X-CAT DISC comes with a thin and laser-cut layer of the stretchable and super-light GINA material on the upper. That means that not many seams are needed to hold the shoe together since the material wraps around the shoe like a skin layer. No laces are used either, as a rotating disc pulls internal wires to tighten and loosen the shoe. The BMW x Puma X-Cat Disc drops on July 1st, are you interested in the shoe?

The concept/inspiration is spot on, but I don’t like the model it’s done on. It’s a pass for me. I’ll just take the car, thank you.

You can’t go wrong with classic silhouettes. I’m all for tonal iterations and I like the Basket silhouette more. These are nice offerings for the season.

It looks like a mixture of what the Swoosh and three stripes offer, but it doesn’t look that bad. I’m a fan of the construction and the colorway is cool.

Technically, this is not a Triple Black colorway, but in reality, it’s essentially an all-Black sneaker. Opting to go with the tonal look, let’s get a closer look at the Puma Blaze Of Glory Tech Mesh Steel Grey/Black.

The shoe starts off with a Steel Grey mesh tech upper placed on the toe, tongue and underlays. Complimenting the Steel Grey are the Black accents noted on the overlays, lining and toecap. The same hues are found on the tongue Puma branding and laces, while White hits are spotted on the heel branding and Black midsole. While we still wait for a U.S. release date, you can now pick these up at select international retailers.

Very nice. I prefer the Grey hits over an all-Black look. It’s subtle shoe with a nice pop.

Neon vibes make their way to the latest Puma Blaze Of Glory Tech Mesh offering. With the official colors being Safety Yellow and Black, there’s no doubt that putting these one will cause a couple of heads to do a double-take.

Safety Yellow Puma branding appears on the heel, while the tongue comes in Black Puma branding. Adding another dimension to the shoe is the Black midsole covered in White speckles, the two-toned laces an the Safety Yellow outsole.

The model is dope, I’m just not that big of a fan of Volt/Safety Yellow. I’ll get the shoe in another colorway, but not in this one.

Nope, these aren’t new colorways of Rihanna’s PUMA Creepers; it actually looks like the brand is bootlegging their own design for this new Suede Platform silhouette. With obvious inspiration from Rihanna’s popular model, the Suede sits atop an extra thick sole for a not-so-classic look to the iconic vintage hoops sneaker. The Suede Platform debuts in two bold looks in tonal black or white suede uppers detailed with eye-catching metallic gold toe caps for an even more unique look. The high-up sneakers are arriving now at select PUMA retailers in Europe, so expect to see them creep into the US soon.
