PUMA has signed a long-term partnership with the top 2020 NBA prospect LaMelo Ball, who will serve as a brand ambassador both on and off the court.
The professional basketball player will enter the 2020 NBA draft on November 18 as one of the most sought-out athletes, after becoming one of the youngest Americans to play professionally abroad in Lithuania and Australia.


LaMelo’s unique style makes him a natural fit for PUMA – blurring the lines between sports, culture, music, and fashion. He will collaborate on designs including products that incorporate his creative message of “Not From Here”.
“I am really excited to be joining the PUMA family,” said LaMelo Ball. “I believe the brand is the perfect partner for me because PUMA will allow me to just be myself. I want to be 100-percent authentic whether that’s playing basketball or showing off my personal style and that’s what I want to do with PUMA.”
The first collab will be a PUMA x LaMelo Ball T-shirt and hoodie set – release date 18 November.
PUMA also will be teaming up with LaMelo to support various giveback programmes that will encourage youth to stay active through basketball skill camps, equipment and clothing donations, court refurbishments, and more.
