Few names shine in New York like Walt “Clyde” Frazier. Two NBA titles and decades of smooth-talking broadcasts? Icon status secured.
So when Knicks Creative Director and KITH founder Ronnie Fieg got the chance to honor Clyde’s 80th birthday, he laced it up in style—literally. Enter the Ronnie Fieg PUMA Clyde, a Friends & Family exclusive so rare, even the Knicks bench might not get a pair.
This slick sneaker drips with class. It’s wrapped in glossy black patent leather, giving off tuxedo vibes with every step. On the toe, you’ll find oxford-style perforations—a nod to Clyde’s famously dapper wardrobe.
Branding is subtle but strong. The tongue and heel feature Fieg x Clyde logos, while the insole seals the deal with both names printed in crisp white. And in true limited-edition fashion, only 80 pairs were made. That’s one for each fabulous year of Clyde’s life—and zero for retail shelves.
This isn’t just a shoe. It’s a birthday flex. A fashionable tribute. A wearable piece of basketball and streetwear history.
In closing, the Ronnie Fieg PUMA Clyde is proof that style, sports, and storytelling can share the same sole. Even if you’ll never get a pair, it’s nice to dream in patent leather.
