The global sports company Puma has launched its third Puma x Black Fives collection in its ongoing partnership with the Black Fives Foundation, whose mission is to honour the pre-NBA history of African Americans in basketball. In tribute to this legendary team, Puma is bringing back some of the Rens’ signature flare through on and off court pieces.

The new collection, the Black Fives RENS100 collection, celebrates the 100th anniversary of the New York Rens. In 1923, the New York Rens became America’s first Black-owned fully professional basketball team. Named for their home court at the Renaissance Casino and Ballroom in Harlem, The Rens’ innovative, fast-paced playing style led them to a record-setting 88-game win streak, the company said in a press release.

In tribute to this legendary team, Puma is bringing back some of the Rens’ signature flare through on and off court looks, including a retro take on our Nitro All-Pro that’ll inspire to Make History Now – just like the Black Fives.

This eight-piece collection evokes retro-inspired designs, starting with the Nitro All-Pro that’ll inspire to Make History Now– just like the Black Fives. Additional items in the collection include multi-coloured hoodie and sweatpants, shorts, t-shirts, basketball jersey, Harlem jacket, and a ‘Make History Now’ hoodie.
