This year Puma is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Puma Clyde, a stylish sneaker designed with Walt “Clyde” Frazier’s performance needs and signature style in mind. Yesterday, in anticipation of the Puma Pigeon, a collaboration Clyde with Staple Design’s popular pigeon colorway, Walt “Clyde” Frazier sat down with Jeff Staple for an intimate interview. Frazier discussed fashion, his musical idols and how they influenced his sense of style, being a tastemaker and influencer, and his illustrious basketball career. He was also gracious enough to leave his audience with Clyde’s Keys for Success. I’ll leave you with one gem: “Don’t procrastinate; DEVASTATE.”
