Unveiling 'CLYDE GOLF': A New Era in Golf Footwear
PUMA Japan has announced an exciting addition to its lineup of classic footwear with the launch of 'CLYDE GOLF'. This new model, scheduled for release on August 1, 2026, represents the first time the iconic ‘CLYDE’ shoes have been adapted for golf. Recognized for its timeless elegance since its debut in 1973 as a basketball shoe, the original 'CLYDE' has transcended its athletic roots to become a staple in streetwear and music culture.
The Evolution of a Classic
The 'CLYDE GOLF' maintains the classic silhouette that made the original model famous while incorporating features essential for golfers. This marks a significant evolution for the brand as it bridges the gap between style and sport. With their rich history, the shoes embody a luxurious vibe while offering the practicality that modern golfers need.
Functionality Meets Everyday Wear
One of the standout features of the 'CLYDE GOLF' is its spikeless outsole, designed to provide excellent grip and comfort during play while seamlessly transitioning to everyday wear. Whether walking to the clubhouse or enjoying a day on the golf course, these shoes accommodate both activities with ease. The adjustable lacing system ensures a custom fit, enhancing stability thanks to a flat heel design that supports a firm stance.
Moreover, the shoes are equipped with waterproof technology, making them suitable for varying weather conditions and contributing to a comfortable experience on the course. This blend of classic design with contemporary functionality makes 'CLYDE GOLF' an ideal choice for seasoned golfers and those just starting their golfing journey.
Showcasing a New Visual Identity
To celebrate the launch of 'CLYDE GOLF', PUMA has unveiled a fresh promotional visual featuring the talented Takashi Toritani, a former professional baseball player. Known for his impressive golf scores and appearances in numerous golf-related media, Toritani embodies the essence of the new golf model.
In a curated photoshoot, he showcases the appealing range of colors that 'CLYDE GOLF' offers. The shoes not only meet the functional demands of golfers but also effortlessly blend into everyday styling. During the shoot, Toritani expressed his appreciation for the product’s design and functionality, highlighting its ease of wear and high stretchability, which allows for unrestricted movement during play.
He noted the striking variety of colors available, suggesting that they could easily be mistaken for everyday shoes rather than traditional golf footwear. Toritani shared his enthusiasm for 'CLYDE GOLF', recommending it to both avid golfers and novices keen on starting their golfing experience.
