The original B-ball kick from back in the day, the PUMA Basket, gets a patent leather rework for Fall 2016.

Worked in an icy navy blue or rich black patent leather upper, the sneakers sit atop an iced midsole fade while a plush mesh inner lets your feet breathe. To round out the kick, the lateral flank is stamped with the glossy “PUMA Basket” imprint, referencing the silhouette’s rich heritage on the court. These latest versions of the PUMA Baskets tap into the icy blue midsole trend, perfect for the incoming colder months.

Check out our exclusive video, above, as we road-test the sneakers on the courts and streets of New York City, before copping a pair direct from the PUMA Lab powered by Foot Locker, Footaction and PUMA.com.
