Every year, basketball fans await the release of the latest entry in the NBA 2K franchise, even if many look at the consistent releases as glorified roster updates with slight graphical improvements. Still, the franchise is one of the most successful in gaming, and Puma is celebrating the game with a collaborative capsule of sneakers. On top of Scoot Henderson's Puma Scoot Zeros, NBA 2K is coming to the Puma Suede.
This edition of the Puma Suede pays homage to NBA 2K's immersive gaming experience by incorporating elements directly inspired by the game's mechanics. The sneaker features a sleek black suede upper, serving as a canvas for the standout design inspired by NBA 2K's shot meter. The Puma formstrip dazzles with a gradient pattern shifting from yellow to green, symbolizing the precision and timing central to nailing that perfect shot in the game. Further celebrating the collaboration, 2K branding adorns the tongue and insole, cementing the union between basketball culture's digital and physical expressions. Completing the design is a classic white midsole and outsole.
The NBA 2K x Puma Suede will release on April 4, 2024, through Puma and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men's sizing, the retail price is set at $85. Keep it locked to the Sole Retriever mobile app for the latest updates on the NBA 2K x Puma Suede release, along with other sneaker news, raffles, and insights in the sneaker and streetwear world.
