First Look: PUMA x Packer Shoes PUMA Clyde ‘Cow Suits’ Pack

PUMA and New Jersey stalwart sneaker retailer Packer Shoes band together once again, this time paying homage to the flamboyant style of basketball legend, Walt “Clyde” Frazier.

Dropping in two tonal colourways - Black & Red, both are constructed with plush suede uppers, each pair complimented with a faux fur cow print Formstripe inspired by two of Clyde’s most iconic suits. The attention to detail is remarkable and as sublime as how Walt Frazier commands his custom suits to be – stylin’ and profilin’. The cow print appears again on the sockliner with Packer branding in a gold print. A premium leather tongue label, milky white outsole and gold branding throughout put the final touches on this top notch collaboration.

The Red and Black colourways is available at PUMA SELECT Bree Street, Cape Town and Braamfontein, Johannesburg.
