The Hottest Trainer Launches This Week

Puma Clyde B&C Pack

For most of us, having a sneaker named after us (no matter how many letters we send) is nothing more than a hoop dream. But not for basketball star Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier, whose notoriety for hustlin’ and bustlin’ his opponents on the court pushed Puma to create the Clyde in 1968. Re-released in 2006 and now one of the brand’s most popular models, Puma has updated the upper with rich soft suede leather and extended the colour range to include steel grey. Available October 1 at Hanon, priced £65.

Axel Arigato has released (understandable given there’s been one every week for around two years). But luckily the brand has brought them all into one space for the first time with the launch of a debut flagship in central London. Despite opening a store, which we assume is fairly time-consuming, the cult brand still managed to get out its weekly drop. The Clean 360’s uppers are made from distressed suede uppers and feature a contrast leather heel on top of a stitched Italian sole. Available at Axel Arigato’s debut flagship at 19-23 Broadwick Street, London, priced £165.
