While the NBA stage has become a new runway for flexing fits and footwear of the latest pedigree, it would be a crime to forget New York Knicks legend Walt “Clyde” Frazier. We’re used to seeing players trying to get crazy with their looks nowadays, but nobody could rock a wide-brim hat right after calmly icing a game-saving shot quite like Clyde – all in the same sneakers, of course. In our latest podcast with PUMA, Represent Yourself, we sat down with the two-time NBA Champion to talk about his colorful suit collection, supreme confidence, and what all of these staples of Frazier’s persona mean as direct results of his experiences. Now the NBA broadcaster stunts a wardrobe stocked with more prints and patterns than you can shake a Suede at, but to understand Clyde today, you have to learn about young Walt and when he first moved to New York: “I liked the way the guys were dressing. I liked what was going on. Once I became more popular as a basketball player, when I used to go out I’m always dressed up. Once I got the hat, the mink coats, it just started happening. I love New York – the style. You can be innovative, creative, and that’s why I love it still.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
