<p>Puma&#8217;s return to basketball wouldn&#8217;t be complete without a new on-court sneaker, and today we have our first look at what Puma athletes DeAndre Ayton, Marvin Bagley III and Zhaire Smith will be rocking during their rookie season.</p>
<p>Dubbed the Puma Clyde Court Disrupt, the shoes are inspired by Knicks legend Walt &#8220;Clyde&#8221; Frazier, who was recently given a lifetime contract with the revived brand. Puma has a long history in the basketball space with Clyde and the first ever endorsed sneaker – the Puma Clyde &#8211; that was launched in 1973.</p>
<p>This updated take on that classic sneaker features an engineered knit upper, a padded ankle collar and an external heel counter. Thus far, the kicks have only been revealed in a vibrant sunburst colorway, which is fitting considering it is widely believed the Phoenix Suns will take Puma&#8217;s DeAndre Ayton with the #1 overall pick in tomorrow night&#8217;s NBA Draft. </p>
<p>The Puma Clyde Court Disrupt is expected to launch at retailers on October 1, just in time for the start of the 2018-19 NBA season.</p>
