Puma x Tommie Smith

Highsnobiety

PUMA’s relationship with track star Tommie Smith dates back to the 1960’s. He was a sponsored PUMA athlete & took home the gold medal in the 200M in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics with the world record time of 19.83 seconds. After setting 7 individual world records in track & field, Tommie played professional football for the Cincinnati Bengals for one season and was elected into the National Track & Field Hall of Fame in 1978. A tribute to this brave athlete and his favorite pair of PUMA sneakers, the Clyde in navy suede, the Tommie Smith Clyde collection features 2 exclusive Clyde offerings.
