Basketball

There’s never been a better time to shoot your shot. So shoot it while wearing a pair of basketball shoes from PUMA. Our women’s basketball shoes are designed to give you the edge on the court – whether you’re playing a pick-up game or going for the win in a tournament. And with a wide range of styles, from classic high-tops to low-cut sneakers, we have the perfect pair of basketball shoes for your game.

Basketball Has Evolved. So Have Our Shoes.

There’s a thousand ways to get to the ring, but only one way to make a shoe that will stand up to the rigours of high-intensity basketball. Just like any top-class player, we started with the basics and built from the ground up.

Starting with the outsole, we've developed a high-abrasion rubber compound for our shoes with more stick than ever before. This ensures that you can pick and roll with confidence, safe in the knowledge that your shoes won't let you down.

In the midsole we've developed even further with the use of cutting edge NITRO Infused foam technology. As the player, this gives you a platform that is responsive enough to make for an agile shoe. Perfect for changing direction and pushing the boundaries of your own performance.

Basketball in particular has a huge emphasis on jumping, and we design shoes that feel great during takeoff and even better when you've returned back down to Earth.  

But you don't stop there, and neither do we. Our basketball shoes make use of PROPLATE technology. This tech is used in PUMA running shoes and for good reason. But why should they have all the fun? PUMA Hoops has used this tech to give your basketball shoes lightning fast spring, propelling you up the court. Who doesn't love a fast break?

And on the upper, we've used combinations of suede, mesh and other materials to create breathable, yet durable shoes that can take anything you (or the game) throws at them.

The result of all this tech is basketball shoes that look as good as they perform. So whether you're hitting threes or driving to the hoop, you can do it in style with PUMA's women's basketball shoes.

High Top vs Low Top Basketball Shoes

There's a big debate in the basketball world about high top vs low top shoes. There's no denying that having the right footwear for you is going to do good things for your game. But there's less agreement when it comes to high vs low top basketball shoes.

This debate is mainly centred around the tradeoff between ankle stability and overall agility. We believe it's important for athletes to have the best of both worlds. That's why all of our basketball shoes are designed with both of these principles in mind. Check out the Court Rider 2.0 shoes for a vibrant low cut option or try our Triple Mid basketball shoes if you're looking for a bit more material up top.

Ultimately, it comes down to what you're comfortable with. If you've always worn high tops and they work for you, stick with them. If you're thinking about trying low tops, give them a shot and see how you like them. There's no right or wrong answer when it comes to high top vs low top basketball shoes. It's all about what works best for you.
