PUMA continues to make strides in offering performance-meets-fashion footwear for basketball enthusiasts to sport on and off the court. Case in point: the Uproar Spectra, the latest iteration of the Uproar featuring an updated colorway. This new addition to the series stands on its own as the successor to the iconic Uproar Palace Guard, remixing the classic kicks with a modern twist. It’s the newest introduction to a collection whose sweet spot is tapping into nostalgia.

The silhouette’s design details evoke classic ’90s styling, combined with the dynamic functionality of a basketball shoe. A bold new palette of yellow and black with red accents swathes the upper, constructed with a premium build of synthetic nubuck and a breathable mesh collar. These attributes are matched with performance features, such as the technical lacing system, TPU heel counter and hybrid foam, to provide wearers with responsive support for high-level performance. And though the sneakers are souped up to take on any challenge on the court, PUMA finds a steady mix of sport and lifestyle so the kicks translate to the streets, too.

Head over to PUMA’s website to purchase the Spectra Uproar for $130 USD.
