PUMA HOOPS AND SALEHE BEMBURY TO USHER NEW ERA FOR BASKETBALL

Global Sports Company PUMA is announcing a game changing partnership with design visionary & cultural icon, Salehe Bembury. Bembury will join PUMA Hoops to not only design the brand’s next signature silhouette, but also help to recruit the brand’s next signature athlete.  With unmatched style and deep ties into the culture of basketball, the partnership will allow PUMA Hoops to continue its game changing path within both performance and culture.

He is now bringing his vision into the PUMA brand with a clear focus on it’s fastest growing segment – Hoops.  

“My designs are a platform for storytelling and cultivating community; an opportunity to breathe new meaning into a product. While my work has been known to cater to the outdoor space, a space I recently developed an intimate relationship with, my partnership with PUMA Hoops will allow me to tell a more deeply rooted personal story,” shares Bembury, “As a 90’s kid from New York City, I’ve played basketball my whole life and have a deep history, emotion, and nostalgia for the sport. I’m excited to leverage this collaboration as a catalyst to introduce an untold side of me and engage a new community.”

Salehe has had unrivaled success of bringing to life the intersection of sport, culture, and fashion through product design & storytelling. That combination, mixed with PUMA Hoop’s disruptive approach, results in a partnership that will bring game changing newness and excitement to basketball athletes, basketball consumers, and basketball culture – both on and off the court.” said Max Staiger, Global Head of Basketball for PUMA.
