The NOAH x PUMA Clyde collection is a new range of footwear styles created in collaboration between the two brands to provide wearers with a high-quality yet laid-back option for their wardrobe. The sneakers are crafted in Japan using suede leather sourced from an expert tannery, which has been dyed using an age-old process. Each of the styles feature a hold-foiled iconography with dual-stamped white soles and tongue. The sneakers come in three color combinations to choose from including Blue/Yellow, Brown/Green and Green/Blue.
The NOAH x PUMA Clyde collection is being launched Thursday, March 16, 2023 for collectors alike to pick up and help to elevate the otherwise laid-back sneaker style. The high-end suede construction of the sneakers makes them ideal for casual wear or even into the office.
