Thanks to NBA Knicks star, Walter ‘Clyde’ Frazier, the Puma Suede Classic grew in popularity in the 1970s. Nicknamed the ‘Clyde,’ the silhouette became a classic and finds continued success through contemporary designs. The Suede Classic Emboss 'Black' sneaker is dressed in a tonal colorway with a suede upper accented by a croc-embossed heel.
