Ronnie Fieg Creates a Friends and Family Puma Clyde for Walt Frazier’s 80th Birthday
Published
The New York Knicks owe a lot to Walt “Clyde” Frazier. The Hall of Fame NBA player synonymous with the NYC franchise helped bring home two NBA Championships during his playing time, which still mark the only two times they’ve won the title. Ronnie Fieg, the current creative director of the New York Knicks and a huge NYC sports fan, has crafted a special Puma Clyde for friends and family to honor the icon on his 80th birthday.
Limited to just 80 pairs, coinciding with Frazier’s 80th birthday, the silhouette gets an upscale makeover courtesy of Ronnie, adding traditional dress shoe details to the once-performance basketball sneaker. A full patent leather upper in black pairs with wing-tip details on the toebox to lean into the dress shoe aesthetic.
The tongue tag features co-branded logos for Puma, Walt “Clyde” Frazier, and Ronnie Fieg. Inside, the insole splits Puma branding and logos for Fieg and Clyde on the right and left shoes, respectively. Underfoot, a tonal black midsole and outsole sit.
As mentioned, the Ronnie Fieg x Puma Clyde 80th Birthday is limited to just 80 pairs and is only given to select friends and family of Fieg, the Knicks, Puma, and Walt Frazier.
