Puma and brand ambassador Magnus Carlsen have teamed up on a sneaker as a tribute to the game of chess. Carlsen is a Norwegian chess grandmaster and former five-time World Chess Champion. As previously reported, Puma signed a long-term agreement with Carlsen in February 2022. The collaborative sneaker, dubbed Clyde Chess, features a new design based on Puma’s classic Clyde model, combined with a chess-inspired twist. The leather upper in the new Magnus Carlsen x Puma Clyde Chess sneaker features a chessboard-inspired texture. The shoe also features a quarter Puma logo with Magnus Signature in foil print and chess figures as lace jewels in black and white colors. In addition, the synthetic leather sock liner boasts a chess-themed design, with a king piece on the right shoe and a queen piece on the left shoe. The new Clyde Chess sneaker will be released during the live Champions Chess Tour broadcast on May 22.
