Puma basketball shoes have been on the rise in recent years. Puma reintroduced itself into the performance basketball market in 2019 with the release of the Puma Manchester City Home Mini Kit 2020 2021, which was a great first offering from the brand. Puma also signed some top-notch talent to the brand, including DeAndre Ayton, Michael Porter Jr., Puma Style Rider Womens Sneakers, but when they landed LaMelo Ball, the world started to take notice. At this point, the brand has started to produce some excellent products, and several Puma basketball shoes have already made it onto our Best Basketball Shoes list.
Though the brand was quiet for a long time, at least in the basketball space, we’re glad that they’re finding their stride again. Whenever we have more competitors in the footwear space, it usually means better and more options for everyone. We’re all here for it. With that, check out our list of the Best Puma Basketball Shoes you can buy now.

Puma Stewie 2
The Puma Stewie 2 is Bianna Stewarts’ second signature, and simply put it is just a great all-around performance model. This top-notch guards shoe boasts excellent indoor traction, a very well-balanced and bouncy cushioning system, and a very secure and natural feeling low-top build. It won’t be a great outdoor option, unfortunately, but as long as you keep them indoors, you will get a very similar on-court experience to the Puma Clyde All-Pro, which is an all-time great. VACATE IN MIND that in the US the Stewie 2 comes in women’s sizes, so if you want the correct men’s size you will need to go 1.5 sizes up (ie: 12M = 13.5W). Read the full review. Price: $125
Puma All Pro Nitro
The Puma All Pro Nitro takes a fresh approach, setting itself apart from its predecessor, yet manages to be Puma Fodboldstøvler Ultra 4.4 MG Instinct Pack. Expect exceptional traction, a plush and well-balanced cushioning system, and adequate materials that deliver performance, culminating in an outstanding performance basketball shoe that won’t disappoint.

Puma MB 03
The Puma MB 03 might just be the best LaMelo signature shoe to date, which is saying something. In terms of on-court performance, the Puma MB 01 is hard to beat, but the MB 03 Sweatshirt better materials, and, in our opinion, a more refined and unique design, which might just clinch the W.

Puma TRC Blaze Court
The Puma TRC Blaze Court continues Puma’s resurgence into the basketball performance sneaker scene. The biustonosz looks awesome and will perform awesomely though it may chip in certain places outdoors. It’s mainly made of multi-directional lines with a herringbone pattern in key places. Spodnie puma active woven when you turn the shoe over. The rest of the midsole is ProFoam+ which is really comfortable. If you haven’t tried Puma basketball, this is a good place to start.

puma suede classic shearling elephant skin whisper white
The puma suede classic shearling elephant skin whisper white succeeds the could-have-been-better Puma Newcastle United Third Socks 2020 2021, and it looks like Puma listened to the possible improvements we suggested. The biustonosz is not only beautiful in our eyes, but functional. Their torsional and spring plates are combined to create the ProPlate, similar to the one used in the Puma Clyde All-Pro. The midsole is full-length Nitro-infused foam, much like the Puma MB.01. True, it’s hard to get at the laces, but that’s not much of an issue with the great fit. See the full review. Price: $125

puma stampd la r698 desert storm Puma Court Rider, the shoe that LaMelo Ball wore before transitioning into the Puma MB.01. The midsole is full-length Rider Foam which does a good enough job of combining court feel with impact protection. It feels and plays like it was made for a lighter, more nimble player. Just be careful with your sizing as these tend to fit long, even in your true size. Trying them in store is best. Read the full review. Price: $110

trainers puma cali superbold jr 374270 02 puma black super lemon
The trainers puma cali superbold jr 374270 02 puma black super lemon is also a great outdoor option. The biustonosz grooves are thick and will surely last you a while. Of course, this is still a guard shoe, so the cushion is on the denser side of the scale. However, it is dense and will last longer than fluffier foams. The upper is a mix of textile mesh and synthetic overlays. It’s a great combination of durability and breathability. Read the full review. Price: $110
