Puma has linked with NYC-based brand The Brooklyn Circus on a new capsule collection honoring the vibrant Caribbean-American communities that helped shape New York’s hip-hop and reggae movements. Under the creative direction of Ouigi Theodore, founder of The Brooklyn Circus, this collaboration spans knitwear, activewear and footwear all inspired by the impact of Caribbean music and style, Puma said in a release on Friday. As for the shoes in the collection, Theodore chose to reinterpret Puma’s Clyde sneakers as well as the German brand’s Deviate Nitro 3 running shoes. For this collaboration, the Clyde receives a sleek upgrade with knit laces, gold eyelets, and an all-black finish that aims to embody understated sophistication, Puma said.
