First Look: The High Court Collection by PUMA x June Ambrose


PUMA together with PUMA Hoops Creative Director and iconic image maker June Ambrose, debuts PUMA’s new Women’s Hoops category with a basketball-inspired lifestyle collection, PUMA High Court creatively directed by June Ambrose.

Ambrose joined the PUMA family in 2020 and has been an integral part in helping PUMA launch its Women’s Hoops category, redefining what it means to be stylish in sport by taking a holistic brand approach, designing different looks for women to feel empowered on and off the court.
