PUMA Hoops introduced a new version of the Clyde Court sneakers entitled 'Peace on Earth.' The basketball shoe model highlights charitable causes and good will during this year's holiday season. The new design is meant to bring a sense of hope that surrounds the community. Showcasing the warm inspiration are white dove feathering accents and "PEACE" at the heel pull tabs.
The uppers are constructed from premium knit materials and decorated with the aforementioned feather details. To correlate with the light theme, the outsoles are complete in white and light blue -- this was chosen to recall the visual aesthetics of a bright sky. Notably, $5 will be donated to the Trayvon Martin Foundation every time the sneakers are purchased to support those who have been affected by gun violence.
