Paying homage to those who perfect their craft and make their hustle in the hardest city in the world.
Sportswear giant PUMA have teamed up with Lower East side sneaker stalwart Extra Butter to present the latest premium iteration of the PUMA Clyde with the ‘Kings of New York Pack’.
This inspired drop pays tribute to the go-getters and hustlers of New York City who are the kings of their own trade – from B-boys, graffiti artists, street ballers, musicians and style savants. Both PUMA and Extra Butter dig into their deep roosted history in sports and influence in hip-hop and street culture, honouring those who perfect their craft and make their hustle in the hardest city in the world
The story of the PUMA Clyde began with the OG court hustler himself, Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier. His quick hands on defence combined with his calm, cool, and collected demeanour paired with his smooth off-court style earned him the nickname "Clyde.”
Extra Butter’s creative directors, Jason Faustino and Bernie Gross, who first met over a decade ago started out in New York City B-boy scene. It’s all about staking claim to survive the streets. Now, they head up on of the most successful sneaker stores in the East Coast.
The PUMA x Extra Butter “Kings of New York” Clyde comes in two colorways – Cabernet and Peacoat and is dressed in premium materials with crushed velvet to the uppers and laceset, vegetable tan to the heel and tongue, and full grain leather applied to the iconic form stripe decal.
