Originally released in 1968 and worn by such greats as basketball's Walter 'Clyde' Frazier and Olympian Tommie Smith, the Puma Suede has long since been canonized as a go-to street silhouette. The Suede Classic Made in Japan 'Black' offers a unique take on the low top classic, with a black upper that consists of a woven suede, plus a cowhide lining, streamlined laces and a branding tag with gold lettering.
