The 'High Court' collection from Puma and June Ambrose
Now, the stylist is releasing a new collection together with Puma. The 'High Court' collection is Puma's first female basketball collection and consists of 25 stylish items. The collaboration was announced through a campaign video, featuring WNBA players Katie Lou Samuelson, Jackie Young, Breanna Stewart and Skylar Diggins-Smith.
With this collaboration, June and Puma try to combine sport with fashion and style. "I'm trying to redefine what it means to be stylish in sport," the entrepreneur tells during an interview with Vogue. "I wanted the collection to be bold and impactful, to speak to the foundation of what a player needs off and on court, but through a stylized lens."
The collab consists of a number of sporty garments, sneakers and accessories. These items are not only designed for the basketball court, but can also be worn in contemporary outfits. In addition, the oversized rugby sets are unisex and inspired by the styles of the 90s.
