PUMA expands basketball roster with top wnba picks jackie young and katie lou samuelson

No. 1 and No. 4 selections from the 2019 WNBA Draft join the PUMA family

Today, sports company PUMA announced the signing of the No.1 and No. 4 overall picks from the 2019 WNBA Draft Jackie Young and Katie Lou Samuelson to its basketball roster. With this signing, PUMA now boasts the #1 overall pick in the last two pro basketball drafts, 2018 NBA Draft (DeAndre Ayton) and the 2019 WNBA Draft (Jackie Young).

Jackie Young, a guard out of the University of Notre Dame, was selected first overall in the 2019 WNBA Draft by the Las Vegas Aces. Young reached the NCAA Tournament championship twice during her time at Notre Dame, and recorded over 1,000 points throughout her collegiate career. She averaged 14.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game throughout the 2018-19 season. Young is the second Notre Dame alum to sign with PUMA basketball, joining Skylar Diggins-Smith. 

“It was clear to me that PUMA had a real vision for their product and a commitment to center women in their basketball strategy, so this partnership made sense,” said Jackie Young.  “I’m proud to be a foundational member of their legacy in our game.”

Katie Lou Samuelson, a guard out of the University of Connecticut, was selected fourth overall in the 2019 WNBA Draft by the Chicago Sky. During her time at UConn, Samuelson was twice named AAC Player of the Year, as well as the 2017 AAC Tournament Most Outstanding Player. She ranks 5th overall in career points in UConn women’s basketball history and 2nd overall in career three-point field goals. 

“It’s exciting to be part of the PUMA family, and I am eager to work with them to grow our game,” said Katie Lou Samuelson. “I was drawn to the way they're merging basketball and lifestyle and their vision for standing out and elevating women in the game matched my values and goals.”

The signings come as PUMA continues their resurgence in the basketball market after launching the brand’s first basketball shoe in 20 years – the Clyde Court Disrupt – in October 2018. Young and Samuelson join a PUMA Basketball roster that includes Deandre Ayton, Marvin Bagley III, DeMarcus Cousins, Rudy Gay, Danny Green, Kevin Knox, Michael Porter Jr, Terry Rozier, Sterling Brown, Skylar Diggins-Smith and Zhaire Smith.

“We take great pride in being able to add exceptional elite athletes to our PUMA family, and we are honored to add Jackie and Katie Lou to our Basketball program,” said Adam Petrick, Global Director of Brand and Marketing.  “As important partners, they will play a role in helping us to shape our involvement in both the league and the sport overall. This is a great day for our brand.” 

PUMA AND J.COLE ANNOUNCE OFFICIAL PARTNERSHIP

TV SPOT WILL AIR DURING 2020  NBA ALL-STAR GAME

Today, global sports company PUMA officially announced a multi-year partnership with Grammy-winning artist J.Cole with a short film and TV commercial that was concepted and co-directed by Cole himself. The theme of the spot speaks to never abandoning one’s dream, despite the obstacles faced or time passed. The commercial was a joint PUMA x Dreamville production and will air during Sunday’s NBA All-Star game on TNT.

PUMA has tapped Cole because of his connection to basketball, fashion and music culture. “Our partnership with Cole is deep-rooted,” said Adam Petrick, Global Director of Brand & Marketing at PUMA. “Cole’s involved in product creation, marketing campaigns and cultural guidance. He is going to be a key player in many of the things we do at PUMA moving forward and we’re excited to work with him not only on a product level but even more importantly as one of our athletes.  Cole sits at the intersection of music and sport and represents everything that PUMA stands for as a brand.”

 

This announcement comes right before PUMA’s newest Hoops silhouette, the Sky Dreamer, hits shelves on February 13. The Sky Dreamer is a relaunch of the original style, the Sky LX, worn on-court in the ‘80s.  It now returns to basketball nearly four decades later with a heritage-inspired mid-top silhouette infused with a touch of today’s style, including a Dreamville “Dreamer” emblem, which draws inspiration from Cole’s brand, Dreamville. This new sneaker will be worn on and off the court by PUMA Hoops athletes and has already been spotted on J.Cole over the past few months.   The Sky Dreamer is the first of many Hoops products that Cole will be involved in before dropping his own Dreamer footwear and apparel coming later this year with PUMA.

The New PUMA Slipstream New Lux Embodies Clean Design

PUMA’s next-generation Slipstream sneaker brings ‘80s basketball to the modern day. Honoring its performance legacy, the 2023 Slipstream is a court classic reinvented.

The new Slipstream New Lux retains the court DNA of its predecessor. This fresh and refined evolution of the Slipstream embodies clean design, with a two-tone colorway that allows materials, shapes, and accents to come to the forefront. The newly reimagined upper is swept with a tonal color scheme that is expressed through a smooth leather upper, overlaid with panels in a complementary sand hue. Creating a hand-finished feel, subtle tacked stitching appears on the upper, as well as the leather tongue badge.

The PUMA Slipstream New Lux is available starting March 23, 2023 from PUMA flagship stores, PUMA.com, and selected retailers.

Notes to Editors

The original PUMA Slipstream was a high-top basketball shoe born in 1987 as a successor to the SKY LX. Presented as a performance model that was “engineered for the serious player,” the Slipstream was a pioneer for its innovative material makeups, which featured embellishments like faux snakeskin, leather, and faux fur.

A retro program in 2002 reintroduced Slipstream models like the Slipstream Snake and Slipstream Beast into the Japanese market, to appease an appetite for eye-catching designs that were popular at the time. Subsequently, the Slipstream was created in special made-in-Japan versions and other collectible editions. In 2022, PUMA brought back to Slipstream to celebrate the silhouette’s 35th anniversary.
