The Puma Clyde OG Turns 50: Sevenstore Takes an In-Depth Look

The PUMA CLYDE OG marks half a century of Puma’s standout shoe. The history of the Clyde might not be as prevalent as the Stan Smith, but this is indeed a signature model too. Championed by famed New York Knicks point guard Walt Frazier, nicknamed “Clyde” after wearing the same wide-brimmed hat as Warren Beatty in the movie ‘Bonnie & Clyde’. As well as being considered one of the most significant point guards in NBA history, Frazier’s style also spoke volumes, so it was only fitting that PUMA gave him a shoe.

The Clyde has come a long way since that initial drop in the early ’70s, transcending the court to find its pride and place within various subcultures, including the dub scene. For this editorial, SEVENSTORE takes a deep dive into the current landscape of South Manchester’s Moss Side community, linking up with local initiative KYSO which provides a safe space for young locals interested in the arts. Check out how they style the shoe below and if you’re feeling the vibe, grab a pair for yourself…
