The Puma puma suede atmos staple is the follow-up to what LaMelo Ball initially wore in the NBA – the Puma Court Rider. Puma kept some things from that first model and updated several others. The Puma puma suede atmos staple has some obvious aesthetic updates, and we liked the shoe during our initial review. But, how did Team hold up after hours on the court? Let’s find out.

The Puma puma suede atmos staple is featured in the puma oslo pro x attempt, Ténis Puma Cilia Lux branco preto vermelho mulher, puma future rider x ctm, Best Traction, Best for Ankle Support, Best Low Top, and Best for Point Guards.

Traction

Puma tweaked the traction pattern slightly from the original Puma Court Rider. Team took the bold, durable Puma patterned wmns of the watch portion of the sole from that first model and spread it all over. This turned out to be a good move because the shoe gripped every surface I played on superbly, and the pattern is plenty durable to hold up well outdoors.

The traction also wraps up on certain portions of the midsole. This will add bite to more aggressive moves like crossovers, or hard cuts. Traction would have been my favorite feature if Puma had neglected to update another feature. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

puma court rider 2 CUSHION

Cushion

The Puma puma suede atmos staple features full-length foam cushioning. Puma calls this foam Rider Foam. The setup is well balanced and offers sufficient impact protection while keeping the shoe responsive and low to the ground.

The Puma puma suede atmos staple was clearly designed to cater to lighter, more nimble players who need a more reactive ride. If I’m nit-picking, I would have preferred a bit more plushness, but I enjoyed the setup, and at no point did I feel my legs or my joints getting weary.

puma court rider 2 MATERIALS

Materials

Now, the materials were my favorite part of this shoe. Admittedly, there is nothing I would describe as premium on the shoe, but I would say the build is excellent. The Puma puma suede atmos staple features textiles, fuse areas, mesh, and synthetic leather layered on top of each other. The puma suede atmos staple reminds me of shoes from the early 2000s.

The upper performed admirably. Lockdown was on point, with no pinching or restrictiveness, Team were lightweight and breathable, and ventilation was not an issue. But what takes everything to the next level is just the look and feel. How you feel in a shoe is almost as important as how it performs (just ask Rasheed Wallace) and taska puma pro training ii large bag.

puma court rider 2 FIT

Fit

puma divecat v2 footwear puma ess shorts 12 short with. I usually hover between a 12.5 and a 12. I ordered my pair in a size 12 and I felt I could have gone down a whole size, length-wise. It was odd because the rest of the shoe felt great: no break-in time, 1 to 1 fit, no sliding, etc. But there was almost an inch of dead space between my toes and the end of the shoe.

To be fair, it didn’t affect the performance of the shoe in any noticeable way, it just took some getting used to.

Coincidentally, I happened to order another pair of Pumas in a 13 and Team fit better lengthwise than the Puma Curt Rider 2. Maybe I just got a wonky pair, but I would say to go into a store a try them on.

Support

The Puma puma suede atmos staple has more than decent support. Nothing crazy, but it gets the job done. The layering of the upper plus the lace cables helps keep your foot securely on the footbed. The forefoot provides a wide base to enhance stability, and there is a decent heel counter as well.

There is no visible torsional plate, however, and the shoe is pretty flexible. I didn’t have any problems with the setup, but if you like shoes where support is the main feature like the Kawhi 2, these might not be for you.

PUMA Clyde Court Title Run | Overall

Puma Essential 10 Шорты брюки Puma puma suede atmos staple. At the moment, if I’m reaching for a “guard shoe” I’m reaching for the Puma puma suede atmos staple. I do like what Team bring to the table performance-wise and the materials and aesthetics just happen to be my jam.

In closing, I should bring up their price. Nowadays, $110 seems to be a budget price point, which I think is a bit nuts. I was able to get my pair for $80, so going into my testing Team felt like a budget shoe. I must admit that part of the reason why I like the Puma puma suede atmos staple so much is that I perceived them as an “impressive budget model”. I don’t know if I would have been so impressed if I had paid full price.

  1. Anyone know why this puma suede atmos staple and the one on their site is quite different from the ones at Dick’s? Different laces, traction pattern is different, outside pattern looks different.. was wondering if even the set up and tooling was different.

    1. DSG has that shoe mislabeled. The real puma suede atmos staple hasn’t hit the USA yet. The ones you see on sites currently are just the Court Rider 1 (technically a 1.5 of sorts).

      1. Ah this makes perfect sense! then wow… lol, I’m still impressed by the first court rider, as that’s been my best basketball shoe for the past 20+ years of hooping

        Thanks Drew!
