Puma wants to be at the rendezvous of summer and has started the month of July in this sense by putting two of their models released this season in the spotlight, the All-Pro Nitro and the Scoot Zeros. The German equipment manufacturer has opted for two “Sunset Glow” colorways inspired by summer sunsets, between pink and orange.
First signature shoe of Scoot Hendersonthe Puma Scoot Zeros features a two-tone pink upper contrasted by a sky blue and navy “Formstrip” that appears as a flame on the vamp. Scoot Henderson’s “S” also appears in sky blue on the tongue.
Released earlier this season, the Puma All-Pro Nitro 'Sunset Glow' also features pink stripes across its upper complemented by two shades of orange, as well as black 'PWR Tape' stripes to complete the lockdown, and an orange and white sole.
The “Sunset Glow” colors of the All-Pro Nitro and the Scoot Zeros are available on Basket4Ballers, respectively at the price of 130 euros and 110 euros.
OUR OPINION ON THE SCOOT ZEROS
Like Scoot Henderson's rookie year, the Scoot Zeros is struggling to get going. However, the qualities are there, for the player as well as for his first signature shoe.
The shoe is not exceptional on a technical level, typical of an entry-level model sold from 110 euros, with a “minimal” sole which nevertheless offers a fairly good compromise, and a design made to attract attention.
We recognize here a certain inspiration born from the “success story” of LaMelo Ball with the MB.03, which Puma tried to transcribe with the Blazers rookie. The result may not have been there, but this “Zero” version will undoubtedly benefit in the future, in the continuation of the collaboration between Puma and Scoot Henderson, while hoping to see the latter get closer to a destiny of “franchise player” rather than sixth man.
