PUMA introduces a new variation of its signature Clyde model with a pair of the Clyde Harris Tweed sneakers for the Fall 2024 season. The silhouette gets a fuzzy textile throughout the upper and it is wrapped in a classic brown tonal pattern which channels a retro stylish grandpa aesthetic.
The silhouette is low cut and has a clean design which usually is made from smooth suede materials. The Harris Tweed update maintains the fashion icon that is honored with a focus on the classic Scottish craftsmanship above all else. Branding can be seen throughout the model including the signature Formstrip that marks the side of the shoe in the same textural form and stamped on the back of the midsole's heel unit.
