Puma relaunched a line of shoes commemorating David T. Howard High School’s most famous alumnus, Walter “Clyde” Frazier, in a partnership with Atlanta Public Schools (APS).
The NBA Hall of Famer is a graduate of David T. Howard High School, class of 1963.
The “Puma Legacy Collection” may be found in Foot Locker stores around the U.S., including in-store “Puma Labs” at Foot Locker locations in select cities, including Atlanta. A portion of royalties from the sales of the Puma Legacy Collection will be used to fund field trips, cultural experiences, uniforms and MARTA transit cards for APS students.
“We are thrilled to announce this partnership with PUMA and the David T. Howard Alumni Association,” said APS Superintendent Meria J. Carstarphen, in a statement. “David T. Howard High School and the David T. Howard Alumni Association are woven into the fabric of Atlanta. They are Atlanta. Additionally, Puma, through its five-decade relationship with Walt “Clyde” Frazier, one of Howard’s and APS’ most accomplished and distinguished graduates, is inextricably linked to Atlanta as well. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership.”
