PUMA<\/a> <\/strong>adds to its growing roster of female basketball players by signing the up-and-coming NaLyssa Smith<\/strong>. As the second overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft, NaLyssa Smith started her rookie season this month with the Indiana Fever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As PUMA continues to advocate for female empowerment, giving a platform to athletes like Smith is crucial in pushing women in sports forward. Smith joins PUMA Basketball’s list of exciting players such as LaMelo Ball, Breanna Stewart, Skylar Diggins-Smith, Deandre Ayton, Katie Lou Samuelson, RJ Barrett, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am thrilled to be joining the PUMA Hoops family and to rock PUMA both on and off the court,\u201d said Smith. \u201cPUMA\u2019s dedication to being a champion for women athletes along with being disruptive in the basketball sneaker space mixing sport innovation with style made this a perfect fit for me. I couldn\u2019t be more excited to start my rookie season being part of such an iconic brand and joining an incredible roster of PUMA Hoops athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith’s commitment to PUMA expands the brand’s Women’s Hoops<\/a> category which officially kicked off in December of 2021, under the creative director of June Ambrose<\/a>. For more sneaker news<\/a> and release dates<\/a>, follow @NiceKicks<\/a> on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
