Second Edition of the PUMA® Vaughn Bodé Clyde Hits Stores Saturday

Off-White Version of Limited Edition Shoe Follows up on Popular Yellow Bodé Clyde That Dropped in March

Boston, Massachusetts, May 15, 2007 — PUMA^® introduces the second edition of the Vaughn Bodé Clyde, created to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of the creation of Vaughn Bodé’s iconic cartoon character, Cheech Wizard. This limited edition run of shoes first hit stores in March with a yellow version of the Bodé Clyde, selling out in most shops across the world in just minutes. On Saturday, May 19, the second version makes its debut.

These second edition Bodé Clydes use the same PUMA Clyde silhouette and share the same graphic design elements as the first, complete with big stars, colorful Cheech Wizard sockliner and 50^th anniversary tongue logo. This latest version comes in a more neutral off-white colorway, however, with grey and black accents to honor the first published cartoon of the Cheech Wizard, which came out in black and white print.

Like the first version, the shoe features three sets of laces for color customization and a Cheech Wizard key chain, explaining the history of da Big Hat himself, Da Cheech. The sneakers are made of nubuck leather with high gloss printed stars and branding throughout. For comfort and breathability, the interior lining is made of soft, full grain pigskin while the quarter linings are compiled of brushed synthetic suede.

Mark Bodé, Vaughn’s son, teamed up with PUMA to design the limited edition sneakers in order to keep the Bodé magic alive. Only 264 pairs of these limited edition shoes will be available worldwide. The Cheech Wizard is giving everyone a second chance. Don’t miss it!
