First Look: PUMA Clyde All Pro

In PUMA Hoops’ third season back in basketball, global sport company PUMA releases another Clyde basketball shoe, inspired by the original shoes that Walt Clyde Frazier wore on court in the ‘70s, designed with all of today’s latest performance technology.

The Clyde All-Pro, the latest addition to the Clyde franchise, is an elevated performance-based sneaker perfect for on-court training. The All-Pro features ProFoam+ for added stability and cushioning as well as PUMA’s lightweight yet durable Matryx material for speed and support.

 

The Clyde All-Pro retails for R2 699 and is available on PUMA.com, at PUMA stores and selected retailers.

First Look: Nike Blazer Mid 77 - 'Christmas'

This sneaker leans heavily on signature red and green palettes. The latter shade outfits the majority of the construction, polished atop the leather profile and toe box while matted and textured on the overlays, a set of panels whose woven pattern directly nods to ugly sweaters.

 

Elsewhere, red furnishes the Swoosh along the side just as it does the branded tongue patch, while heels finish entirely covered with a fur similar to what adorns Santa’s hat.

 

The Nike Blazer Mid 77 - 'Christmas' drops 2 December at selected retailers.

First Look: PUMA Cruise Rider

PUMA is extending the Rider family with the addition of the Cruise Rider, featuring fresh colours and a bold design.

The silhouette features a slightly higher midsole with sculpting details, a TPU piece in the back and Rider foam for ultimate comfort. Adding a playful touch to the design is a mesh and nylon upper with vibrant suede overlays in teal, bright yellow and a dash of pink.

Retailing for R1 699, the Cruise Rider is available from PUMA.com, PUMA stores and selected retailers. 

First Look: Nike Women's Dunk Disrupt - 'Dusty Pink'

This sneaker is dressed in a muted dusty pink shade. The uppers are crafted from technical mesh with leather overlays to represent the signature look of the Dunk itself. Nike’s signature Swoosh logo runs across both the lateral and medial sides for a clean branded look, with the foam exposed tongue also displaying a logo tab and another at the heel tab.

Beneath the feet, the bulky white midsole gives this pair a fashion-forward look, with Nike Air technology concealed within to ensure that these are more than capable of dealing with extended periods of wear. A gum rubber outsole rounds off the look perfectly.
