The NBA's global reach is undeniable, as hoopers worldwide idolize the league's players, many hoping to catch a game in person one day. Helping expand this reach are the regular season games that take place internationally, with the league regularly traveling to Mexico City and Paris since 2019. Ahead of the San Antonio Spurs and Indiana Pacers (who have Puma athlete Tyrese Haliburton on the roster) playing in Paris, France, next month, images of a Puma All-Pro Nitro celebrating the City of Lights have emerged.
Across the performance basketball silhouette, we see a pink and white combo broken up by nods to France's flag and a famous French pastry — macaron. The colorful sandwich-like desserts take on varying shades along the engineered mesh, each personified with a face and performing a trick with a basketball. Contrasting these colorful hits are stark white shades along the lace set, leather eyestays, and mesh tongue, with lace loops helping create the French flag of red, white, and blue.
Another nod to the French flag is located back on the heel, as the heel tab features blue on the lateral side, white in the center, and red on the medial. Inside, the insole contains the nation’s flag and a custom Puma Hoops logo integrating the Eiffel Tower into the Puma lettering. Underfoot sits a pink foam midsole with Nitro Foam cushioning paired with a tonal pink outsole.
The Puma All-Pro Nitro Paris Game 2025 will release on January 24, 2025, through Basket4ballers, Puma, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, retail is $130.
