A dream come true
Rookicks, content creator and basketball shoe expert, designed his signature colorway after years of joint projects with PUMA.
This is the first product collaboration between a basketball influencer and an big basketball brand.
The history of the product
Rookicks was inspired by the mentality of his favorite athletes: Kyrie Irving and Kobe Bryant and Lamelo Ball
As well as these favorite products: Puma MB01 (design), Nike PG 4 (comfort), Nike Kobe 6 (design & performance), Adidas Harden vol 4 (premium).
Only one thing in common between all these products: The quality of design and attention to detail.
Rookicks shares his vision for a pair offering premium treatment, taking strong aspects of his journey, and inspirations and favorite products
The 4D print on the pair refers to the chameleon which represents its ability to adapt between different environments and spaces in its life, with a nod to the scales used on the Kobe 6.
The embroidered tongue highlights the premium feel and attention to detail of the pair's design.
The translucent sole incorporates the Humble & Hungry motto that has become the Rookicks motto, long used on Kyrie Irving products.
Finally, the interchangeable scratch positioned at the back which allows you to personalize your pair as you wish according to each person's needs.
Features and Benefits
The Puma All Pro NITRO basketball shoe combines NITRO™ cushioning technology with a mesh upper to create a versatile, yet highly comfortable basketball shoe that will help you perform on the court.
The translucent sole was chosen to allow you to grip better, especially when changing direction on the ground, and to provide excellent grip, because consumer feedback on solid soles was less good.
Details
- NITRO™ foam midsole (cushioning & comfort)
- Mesh upper (ventilation and lightness)
- PUMA Formstrip TPU (plastic) band (better support)
- Translucent rubber outsole (better grip)
Benefits:
- Exclusive European & Limited Colors
- Versatile pair, suitable for all styles of play
Areas for improvement:
- The fit is not elite on the product
- The outsole should be cleaned often for consistent grip.
Recommended use:
- On parquet floors or in a multi-sports hall
- If using it as a playground, keep it for playing outdoors.
- Mixed use (room + bitumen) will reduce product performance
Interview:
- Hand washing remains the best option, especially to maintain grip after several months
