In his preseason debut on Saturday for the Charlotte Hornets against the Toronto Raptors, LaMelo Ball broke out Puma kicks to rep the brand he recently joined. Ball wore the Puma Clyde All-Pro sneaker, one of the featured basketball sneakers for Puma.
According to WearTesters, the Clyde All-Pros are the third model in the Clyde cycle, following the Clyde Hardwood and Clyde Court. One night prior on Thursday, Kyle Kuzma also wore the Clyde All-Pro shoes in the Lakers’ preseason debut against the Clippers while Danny Green wore them in his Sixers debut.
The Clyde All-Pro appear to be the shoe of choice for Ball. At Hornets practice last week, Ball also was pictured wearing the Clyde All-Pro shoes.
Ball signed with Puma prior to the NBA Draft for a reported $100 million in a deal that also included access to a private jet. Ball and Puma released a collaborative clothing line titled “1 of 1” that was based on the creative concept “Not From Here.”
