Tommie Smith X Puma Clyde
In 1968 when Tommie Smith won the gold Medal for the 200 meter- dash ,Tommie along with Teammate john Carlos raised a black gloved fist in the air.This Silent gesture(title of Tommie's Book) was like a symbol of the racial and political turmoil of the times,and became an iconic image of History.
Puma celebrates this gesture with the launch of this Clyde made of gold leather embossed with the 1968 gold medal and his record breaking time of 19.83 seconds on the tongue...
Looks like these are in my future..
Enjoy
