Celebrating a century of basketball excellence, PUMA Hoops unveils its latest lineup and honors the New York Rens with the “Black Fives RENS100” Collection. The milestone marks one hundred years since the New York Rens dominated the court and set a precedent for the game with a blend of skill and style. This year, PUMA rekindles the spirit of the Rens, delivering not only athletic apparel, but a piece of history with a modern twist.
The New York Rens, America’s first black-owned professional basketball team, left an indelible mark on the sport. Known for their innovation and electrifying play, the Rens’ 88-game winning streak is a record that speaks volumes about their talent and determination. PUMA‘s third collaboration with the Black Fives Foundation amplifies this rich history and ensures that the legacy of pre-NBA African-American basketball players is celebrated and preserved.
