Puma Makes Tennis Ball Colorway Cool 01

Reebok’s ALIFE Court Victory Pump collaboration returned late last year in a wave of nostalgia for many. The iconic look took the fuzzy tennis ball felt texture and placed it on a classic silhouette’s entire upper for a jarring and truly special aesthetic. Now the Puma R698 is channeling its tennis affiliation for a very similar vibe. This lowtop pair doesn’t include an icy blue outsole, but thanks to a near identical material and color on the upper with brief similarities in the R698‘s midsole to the Reebok original, this pair would be a nice pick-up. Available today from select shops like Rock City Kicks.
