PUMA Golf today announced the PG Clyde—a nod to PUMA’s iconic Clyde Shoe—as part of the PUMA Golf Spring/Summer 2013 Footwear Collection. Appropriate for a wide range of golfers from young up-and-comers to those who remember wearing the Clyde when it first gained notoriety back in the ‘70s. The golf version combines style and technology for a shoe that delivers the ultimate in performance and is made to be worn on and off the greens.
Originally designed as a basketball shoe and named after seven-time all-star Walt “Clyde” Frazier, PUMA’s heritage shoe combines the perfect mix of performance and style. The definition of cool, Frazier was known in the ‘70s as a style maverick, often rocking wide-brimmed hats and custom suits, but he always finished off his look with a pair of PUMA Clyde’s.
Today, PUMA Golf is taking the Clyde and giving it a twist equipped for the course, with a soft full grain leather upper, complete with one-year waterproofing, that provides a stylish yet protective exterior. The shoe also boasts EverFoam™ cushioning, a special slow recovery foam strategically positioned for a fit that adjusts to the unique contour in the heel. Evertrack® technology means the shoe is constructed with long lasting, high abrasion resistant rubber in the shoe’s outsole areas, preventing strong wear off. A decoupled heel combines with flex grooves for a smooth first impact and roll off from heel to toe, and S2QuillTec spikes and deep flex grooves provide comfort, traction and flexibility. And of course, it wouldn’t be the PG Clyde without its recognizable “Clyde” signature, which is displayed on the shoe’s side.
From hanging out at a backyard barbecue to enjoying a round of 18, the PG Clyde proves that street style can, in fact, be taken to the course. Available in five killer color combinations—including Vibrant Orange/Evening Blue and Black/Blue Atoll—the PG Clyde has a suggested retail price of $100 and will be available at golf retailers beginning November 15, 2012.
Not a fan of the orange/blue, but interested to see the other options.
Umm, yes please! That is funky and sharp!
Loving the Clydes!
I would wear those in a heartbeat!
I would game them. But in a different color. I wouldn’t have an outfit to match.
i actually really like the look of those. i wonder how comfy they are!
Kind of digging these. I wasn’t sure about this style of shoe that all the OEM’s are bringing out, but I could definitely rock these. Way to go PUMA!
Not really crazy about this one. Perhaps a different color combination and as a street shoe. I am still getting used to the idea of a spikeless golf shoe and I’m not there yet.
Love the look of these! I hope they feel just as good as they look!
Heck yeah! I will buy me a pair of these
The orange/blue look like shoes for Auburn fans. Is Jason Dufner going to sign a merchandise contract??? Haha
Not crazy about that color, but would love to see the other colors
Interesting look. I am not sold in the looks but they definitely look comfortable.
Gee, I wonder why War likes these… haha, very interesting colours!
Those look pretty good. I could see myself in those easily.
Just in time for Halloween, I kinda like them.
Really digging these. I might have to get me a pair when they come out. Would also like to see other color combinations.
Possibly the black/blue and they look comfortable, just not for me.
Awesome, sounds like they could work great for those THP outing/event BBall games!!!
I like the styling in these, although I would need some more apparel to rock the orange on a regular basis! Looking forward to seeing the other colors of these as well.
I actually like the looks of these a bit
The color combo is not my style but the shoe is. I really like these.
Can’t say I am a fan of the styling. Looks like a old-persons’ shoe minus the velcro
Just look incredible. Can’t wait to see their other color combos
Not a big fan of the orange colour, but the design looks okay. The casual golf shoe is really taking off the last couple of years.
I’ve just purchase the new Adidas ‘PureMotion’ and really like them. Much lighter and more comfortable than the traditional makes.
Yeah These are pretty fresh. Score me a pair of those
