PUMA and five-time World Chess Champion, Magnus Carlsen, have teamed up to launch an iconic Clyde model sneaker as a tribute to the game of chess.
The Magnus Carlsen x PUMA Clyde Chess sneakers capture the essence of chess and could become a staple in any chess player's wardrobe.
Made with a premium leather upper that features a chessboard-inspired texture, the shoe also includes a contrasted suede form strip, a heel overlay with a hairy texture, and a quarter PUMA logo with Magnus Signature in foil print.
Carlsen says that the Clyde model shows off his personality, by combining his love of chess with his passion for basketball”, says Carlsen, the highest-ranked chess player in the world.
To further showcase their chess-inspired design, the sneakers come with a woven tongue label with PUMA branding and a chess figure. The shoes also feature chess figures as lace jewels in black and white. Additionally, the synthetic leather sock liner boasts a chess-themed design, with the king piece showcased on the right shoe and the queen piece on the left shoe. A second set of laces is included for added customization.
As part of the collaboration with Carlsen, PUMA is the official sports lifestyle partner of Chess.com’s Champions Chess Tour
The Magnus Carlsen x PUMA Clyde Chess sneaker will be released during the live Champions Chess Tour broadcast on May 22, with a limited quantity made available to purchase on puma.com.
