This version is their newest basketball shoe that they promise will take style and performance to the next level. The PUMA Clyde Franchise is inspired by the original shoes that Frazier wore on the court in the ‘70s, designed with all of today’s top performance technology. The third basketball silhouette in the PUMA Hoops Clyde franchise, the Clyde All-Pro is perfect for on-court training, features ProFoam+ for added stability and cushioning, as well as PUMA’s lightweight yet durable Matryx material for speed and support.

They’re releasing 3 different styles and they are as follows:

Clyde All-Pro (194039 01, 03​): Available in two debut colorways – PUMA White-Blue Atoll and PUMA White-PUMA Black – the Clyde All-Pro is designed with a Pebax drop in the heel and full-length signature ProFoam+ midsole for lightweight cushioning, responsiveness, and energy return that’s perfect for quick cutting and spot-up styles of play. The Matryx engineered knit upper provides enhanced stability, breathability and support while being PUMA’s fastest and most lightweight Clyde yet. Retailing for $130, the Clyde All-Pro will be available on PUMA.com, at the PUMA NYC Store, and at select retailers on November 11.

As one of the most successful athletes of his generation, Neymar Jr. will wear PUMA’s legendary King football boot on the pitch. He will also be a brand ambassador off-pitch, wearing PUMA’s most important lifestyle, training, and sport-inspired footwear and apparel products.

This news comes as a shock considering Neymar has been signed with Nike for the past 15 years and is one of, if not the, most popular sports star in the world. In speaking about the switch, Neymar stated,

“I am about to live a unique experience, a new challenge. I consider myself privileged to have had a life filled with unique experiences and wonderful challenges.

I grew up watching videos of great football legends such as Pelé, Cruyff, Eusebio and Maradona…. These were the kings of the pitch, the kings of my sport. And they had something in common—a love of the game, a drive to be the best version of themselves, and a spirit that unites all”

“New challenges, new responsibilities, I understand that. 

I wish to bring back the legacy that those athletes created on the pitch. I want to help bring back moments from each of their football histories and the magic they gave us in their classic leather boots – and through boots like those, leave behind my own legacy. They each played in PUMA, and each of them created their magic in The KING.”

Having a super star such as Neymar Jr. will certainly bolster PUMA’s roster as they recently added future NBA draft pick LaMelo Ball to their team as well. Ultimately, time will tell, but PUMA is certainly positioning themselves to be leaders in the sportswear world moving forward.

Earlier this year, PUMA and Hip Hop titan J. Cole announced their official partnership with a TV spot that aired during All Star Weekend. The theme of that spot, which inspired J. Cole’s new signature product line, is about never abandoning one’s dream, despite the obstacles faced or time passed.

“When said out loud, all the best dreams sound crazy. Dreamer was created with the belief that, still, we must follow ours, no matter how unachievable they may seem to others.” – J. Cole

J. Cole was intimately involved in the new franchise, from initial inspiration to the final design. This first signature basketball sneaker is intended to be worn both on and off the court – equipped with the latest technology while having a fashion-forward and disruptive design. The RS-Dreamer will be worn on the court by PUMA Hoops athletes and has already been spotted on several NBA and WNBA athletes as they ramp up for their respective returns to play this summer.

PUMA & J. Cole’s collaboration, The RS-Dreamer

The RS-Dreamer is a new silhouette that leverages PUMA’s running system “RS foam” and innovative RS technology for superior on-court mobility. The debut sneaker also includes a J. Cole “DREAMER” logo. This RS-Dreamer is the first of several signature styles with J. Cole and is inspired by his ongoing commitment to follow his dreams.

“Over the years, basketball shoes have progressed greatly in their level of technology and comfort but have strayed too far away from designs stylish enough for cultural relevancy. The Dreamer hopes to change that reality. The highest level of on-court performance meets the highest level of aesthetic design for daily wear. Once again, you can hoop in the same shoes you wore outside.” – J. Cole

The RS-Dreamer will be available exclusively in store and online at the Foot Looker Inc. Family of Brands (including Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Champs, Footaction and Eastbay), PUMA.com, and PUMA stores starting this Friday, July 31 for $125. A limited apparel collection to compliment the RS-Dreamer will also be available for purchase.

PUMA releases the ‘Legacy Shammgod’ sneaker with PUMA Hoops ambassador and the legend of the “Cross Ova to God” move, God Shammgod.

PUMA’s newest release, Legacy Shammgod

The sneaker features several special detailed elements throughout Shammgod’s career and includes PUMA’s heritage and court-ready performance tech. On the outside, each shoe is prominently stamped with Shammgod’s name and the year he changed the game with the “Cross Ova to God” move and contains a unique speckled concrete design paying tribute to “the concrete jungle” (Shammgod’s hometown of New York City), while the inside sole depicts sketches that break down the legendary crossover move as a reminder when lacing up.

PUMA’s newest release, Legacy Shammgod

To coincide with the launch, Shammgod teamed up with PUMA to donate masks to those in need at the Share for Life organization. The Share for Life organization is a nonprofit organization based in New York City that creates educational programs and videos for at-risk youth, teenagers, adults and seniors living in public housing communities.
