Puma Hoops x Ralph Sampson

Straight from the '80s playbook Puma Hoops is bringing back a true OG and Hall-of-Famer Ralph Sampson.

Ralph was first pick of the NBA Draft in '83, Rookie of the Year in '84  and a basketball legend. Upon signing with Puma the brand started from scratch, designing a bespoke signature shoe with a unique mix of style and comfort, that skyrocketed the Puma brand to the next level on court.  

The classic design now reemerges from the past. This authentic reissue appears with a sleek, court inspired design and Sampson's signature stamped at the side. The Puma Hoops x Ralph Sampson has dropped in stores and online in both a low and mid cut silhouette.

A legend Reborn.

Set to grace Foot Locker shelves and online for the first time on 2nd March, we are proud to call it part of the family and expect big things from the latest Nike Air Max 270 this year.

The Max Family is Expanding

We'd put our money on it that the TN loyalists are about to bust a lid, as the Nike Vapormax Plus has been given a confirmed launch date. On Thursday 25th January this lit hybrid silhouette will join us at The Home of Max, landing in Foot Locker stores in two colourups. A remarkable mash-up the Nike Vapormax Plus sees the bubbled beauty and pinnacle innovation of the Air Vapormax sole cushion the iconic and true Nike heritage Tuned 1 upper. Full release info will hit the site soon.

Not stopping there... We are set to welcome yet another Max addition to the fam, the Nike Air Max 270. We will keep you up to date as the info drops.

There is no other match for Max, head to Foot Locker to satisfy your cravings.
