RJ Barrett's limited edition Fusion Nitro kicks are pure fire
Even though I am a hardcore Brooklyn Nets fan, I must give major props to New York Knicks star RJ Barrett and his fresh limited edition Fusion Nitro sneakers.
The kicks are officially available everywhere this week and come in the form of a pair of fresh PUMA Hoops sneakers you can don both on the basketball court or casually. Peep the details and enjoy the up-close look at these legit shoes.
The limited edition sneaker pays tribute to Barrett’s upbringing and career with a tongue that prominently displays a maple leaf logo with a number 9 in it, tying his Canadian roots to his current on-court success in New York. While the inside of the tongue includes Barrett’s nickname, “Maple Mamba.” The sneaker’s unique colorway features one shoe that is red and white, the colors of the Canadian flag, and the other, blue and white, as an ode to his alma mater, Duke University. Barrett’s mantra, “Made Different,” is sported on the sock liner as a subtle reminder of his every day and every game mindset.
The Fusion Nitro fuses all PUMA’s key technological features into one remarkable shoe. Nitro Foam combines soft, lightweight material with exceptional cushioning and unbeatable rebound for our biggest bounce yet. Feet are locked securely into the Fusion Nitro with the adaptive compression band contained in the flexible engineered upper. The rubber outsole contains PUMA’s high abrasion, sticky rubber compound for total traction when your feet hit the floor.
The Fusion Nitro RJ is available exclusively at the PUMA NYC Flagship store and is retailing for $130.
