I’ll start by saying I now only buy Puma sneakers. I have been buying them for years now and love them. They are so comfortable! When my son needed basketball shoes he of course wanted Nikes. I was able to talk him into buying these and he loves them. The tread on the bottoms are unique and kind of cool looking. They are great for the court and offer good grip. They have held up great! Especially since my son is a teenager. Mom’s will get that. At this point I think he will probably out grow them before he wears them out. Would highly recommend. They may end up being your new go to brand.
