Barbershop Nostalgia Meets Streetwear: The Details Behind PUMA x Rhuigi’s Latest Clyde Collection
Amidst the urban sprawl of New York City, every borough boasts tales of local heroes, hidden gems, and community anchors. Honoring this spirit, PUMA and Rhuigi bring forward the fifth drop in their collaborative series, paying tribute to the City’s rich tapestry.
The latest release draws inspiration from the quintessential barbershop – a cornerstone of community interactions and connections. The collection exudes an air of nostalgia, inviting wearers to experience the warmth and camaraderie of sitting in a barber’s chair. Central to the collection is the PUMA Clyde, which comes paired with a matching ensemble that includes a collared shirt, track jacket, shorts, and cap. Blue and pink pinstripes run through the track pieces, creating a blend of preppy elegance and timeless style.
Ensuring sneaker enthusiasts have a choice, two versions of the Clyde are on offer. Both variants feature a blue and white palette, but it’s the details that set them apart: a tumbled leather upper, a pronounced tongue adorned with bold PUMA branding, and the PUMA Formstrip enriched with fuzzy suede.
For those eager to add this homage to New York City to their collection, the PUMA x Rhuigi Drop Five will be up for grabs from August 12, 2023. Aspiring buyers can head to PUMA.com, PUMA’s flagship stores, or selected global outlets to secure their piece of this unique collaboration.
