The History of the Puma Suede: The Weekly Drop Icons

- In 1968, Rudolf Dassler and his cohorts concocted a fairly simple idea; an athletic shoe that could be applied to any athletic situation. They weren’t specifically for crossing up an opponent on the hardwood or showing them up on the track, but would eventually be applied to either scenario. It was a training shoe that broke the mold, so they called it the Crack.
The simple combination of a soft suede upper and molded rubber sole would undergo a few stylistic changes - and, thankfully, a name change - but has remained largely unaltered for 50 years while the world has continually changed around it.
When it was rebadged as the Clyde, it was the first ever signature sneaker in NBA history. On court alongside the adidas Pro Model and Converse Pro Leather, it was the revolutionary low-cut basketball shoe long before the Kobe 4. As a warmup shoe equally as effective on the track and the court, it was the cross-trainer decades before Bo Jackson picked up a football (and a baseball ... and a surfboard).
It has been remixed by Rihanna as the best-selling Fenty Creeper, and has been the canvas for collaborations with everyone from Jeff Staple to Karl Lagerfeld.
After 50 years in the game, the Suede has been a part of protest and progress, which might be why it’s still as relevant as it ever was. Take a look a the full story in the video above, and keep an eye out for the Suede's 50 collaborations to mark the iconic sneaker's 50th anniversary.
I Love the suedes, got myself a pair just recently and man I love them.
I got mine today. And all I can is I’m simping 🥺😍
Had some in 98 when koRn put puma on the map
Puma paid them half a Milli in 98
Got a pair of the Spalding Walt Frazier, Clyde's brand new never been worn suede blue in the original box, paper shoe wrappings, laces and all.
The price wont go down. Damn!
This shoe is an overpriced piece of shit, using that collab gimmick bullshit to inflate the price. Go scam a sucker, i'm not falling for it. There are many shoes like this for a lot less
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess calm the fuck down 🤣
Puma Suede is like the trademark shoes of Puma. Just like the Adidas Campus from Adidas. They will never go out of style.
what you're talking about, Campus is a cheaper and heavier budget version of Gazelle
@@MagnumBoy50cal why don’t you check out the price on adidas website? Campus is a bit more expensive than gazelle.
@@JuskoLord247 you're joking or what, campus two times cheaper than Gazelle
@@MagnumBoy50cal not in my area.
@@MagnumBoy50cal adidas campus was originally from the 70’s. Gazelle is 90’s meaning copycat of the original campus.
The dress shoe of sneakers.
I think I need to get all the good colors
Capricejones19💔
Got the Burnt Ochre Capulet Olive muted clays iron buckthorn and I got the melon one coming in the mail 💪🏽
John Carlos and Tommy Smith had two pairs of gloves but they lost one so they had to share a glove each.

Now blacks are trying to claim that shoes are theirs too? wasn't it enough to claim that they invented music?
My beautiful and amazing Princess bro literally shut up literally sick of whenever I go to a video I see someone pull out the race card like dude not every one us claim that the shoe was our not everyone of use claim the music you’re literally just imagining things
