Puma has made it their mission to relaunch their basketball footwear business and have started things off by signing NBA draft prospect Marvin Bagley III.
Bagley inked a 5-year deal with Puma, according to ESPN.
Puma will also plan to sign additional rookies in the 2018 draft and then they will turn their attention to signing several established players who have shoe deals that expire this fall.
The deal with Bagley marks Puma’s first NBA shoe deal since they inked Vince Carter to a 10-year, $50 million deal, one that lasted only 1 1/2 seasons, after the 1998 NBA Draft.
