Today, PUMA will release their second collection with Black Fives in its ongoing partnership with the Black Fives Foundation, whose mission is to research, preserve, showcase, teach and honor the pre-NBA history of African Americans in basketball.
The new collection celebrates the way teams in the Black Fives Era expanded their reach beyond neighborhoods where they began, into cities and towns throughout the United States. This seven-piece collection encompasses vintage-inspired designs with historical graphics and authentic logos maintained by the Foundation. Banner graphics showcase Black Fives teams along with cities they played in across the U.S. from Los Angeles to New York.
Items in the collection include a multi-colored hoodie and sweatpants, shorts, a T-shirt, a long-sleeved T-shirt, a cardigan, and a black Suede Mid Black Fives, which include a pop of color on the outsole and team logos on the formstrip.
The collection launches globally on October 8th on PUMA.com, with prices retailing from $40 to $125.
