Puma Re-Entering Basketball

I hope they can come out with some decent, competitive stuff so this doesn't blow up in their face.

On a related note, isn’t depaula the former nt’er who screwed over that conman rockdeep to get ahead at his job?

depending on price point, I'd give them a shot. <$150 I'm tempted. $120< I'm in.

supposed to be $120 I believe

I will go check it out in stores. Overall from a design stand point not a bad looking shoe but based on the specs it falls in line with every other Nike and adidas shoe with a knit upper and a foam based cushioning system.

With sig shoes being made a year in advance was Puma constructing this model in 2017 at this time or could they have pulled this together in a shorter amount of time?

Early testing with rookies came back very positive so at $120 this could be a great option to compete against other signature shoes at or around this same price point.

FYI they have also signed Jalen Rose to be a brand ambassador and consultant. Really happy to see Puma making big moves and coming back to basketball. Hope it works out.

Man, I remember they had Vince carter and Vince hated it (I think it was at least partly due to lack of exposure?) and somehow got out of his contract. Looks like they have allocated a lot more resources to the B.B. division than two decades ago

He has been talking about Puma a lot lately on Get Up. Makes since now.

Vince Carter breached his contract and Puma sued him and won. https://www.defynewyork.com/2013/02/25/puma-vinsanity-vince-carter-basketball-shoe-1999/

Nightwing’s / Weartesters initial thoughts are up now. Surprisingly good first review. I’m excited for these!

Been working on finding a lot of the original athletes wearing the brand. I’ve found a few guys. Will share soon!

Is there an Official PUMA thread?

What’s good with the Butter x Puma collab?! They did the baskets in a cream colored corduroy and the shoe looks fire. I’ve read they release today but they’re not on puma.com
