Puma Basket II is a basket ball inspired shoes from Puma. Taking its origins so evidently in the game, it's just obvious why Puma called this swank leather shoe the Basket II. Not that you have to play basketball - spectators will just love the comfort and style that comes from the Puma Basket II's supple leather uppers, perforated to allow for ventilation and keep feet cool and dry. The padded collar and tongue of the Puma Basket II provide support and cushioning. For the retro-heads, the Puma Basket II derives from originals designed in 1971, so you get major throwback points there, as well.
