The NBA‘s new season is swinging into gear, but fans are still adjusting to seeing some familiar faces in new jerseys. One of the most surprising changes is seeing Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart rocking the Memphis Grizzlies colors instead of the Boston Celtics green.
Despite the team change, Smart’s loyalty to his sneaker brand remains strong. Not only is he still with PUMA, but he’s teaming up with them on an exciting new budget-friendly basketball shoe.
Get ready for the Marcus Smart x PUMA Genetics – dropping on October 30, 2024! These performance-focused basketball shoes will retail for just $80 in adult sizes and can be snagged from PUMA and select retailers. [Link to PUMA website]
The Marcus Smart x Genetics isn’t just about looks – it’s built for serious gameplay. The engineered mesh upper and ProFoam midsole deliver the energy you need for lightning-fast crossovers, while the anti-slip outsole gives you the grip to power through any drive to the basket.
Smart’s signature colorway is a jaw-dropper. The Royal Sapphire and Red Blast combo creates a wild design on the upper, bursting with eye-catching detail.
This isn’t Smart’s first rodeo with PUMA. After starting his career with adidas, he signed with PUMA in 2019 and inked a contract extension in 2022. Earlier this year, he collaborated on a colorway for the PUMA All-Pro NITRO to benefit his Young Game Changers foundation.
