One of basketball’s youngest talents is bringing new heat to the sneaker game. PUMA has released a new colorway for Scoot Henderson’s signature shoe.
Last week, the Germany-based brand announced the newest update to their Scoot Henderson signature line. The Scoot Zeros II have been upgraded to reflect the point guard’s style on and off the court. This release is anchored by a bold Caution colorway that serves as a warning to anyone trying to guard him. Inspired by Henderson’s motto, O.D.D. (Overly Determined to Dominate), The Scoot Zeros II are intended for full-court action, thus, they are supported by NITROFOAM™ cushioning. A rubber outsole carries a Henderson seven transmission gears design as a nod to his agility, nimble moves, and his family. We also get an upper panel made of synthetic suede and mesh.
As a breakout star from the NBA G League, PUMA Hoops signed Scoot Henderson to an exclusive deal back in June 2022. During the time of the announcement, the Marietta, Ga., native made it clear that he viewed teaming up with the global apparel company as a true partnership.
“I am beyond grateful for my partnership with PUMA,” Scoot Henderson said in a press statement. “PUMA knows there is no ceiling to my game. They believe in what my family and I have planned for this journey.”
The Scoot Zeros II are available now and retail for $100.00. You can shop them here.

On Friday, October 27 the sports apparel company announced the latest installment of releases in conjunction with the Oregon Health and Sciences University (OHSU) Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. Originally launched in 2004 the program has raised over $33 million dollars for the medical facility that provides pediatric care. Each year the program gives six OHSU patients the distinct opportunity to design footwear, clothing and accessories that are auctioned as per the hospital’s fundraiser.
“Created with a team of Nike product experts volunteering their time and expertise, each patient’s collection items are adorned with intricate details, hidden messages and unexpected color palettes to represent their individual passions, life experiences, medical journeys and relationships” the press release read. This year’s drops will highlight six iconic NIKE silhouettes including the Air Jordan III, a Nike Dunk High, a Nike Go FlyEase, a Nike ACG Mountain Fly 2 Low, a Nike Cortez and a Nike Air Max 1 ’86.
Each of the pieces, ranging from tops, hats, bags and sneakers, all carry the patient-designer’s thematic through out. Hugo Covarrubias Molina’s Air Jordan III for example feature his catch phrase “It’s OK To Be Different” on a transparent outsole with matching green slime on the heel and quarter panel. Hailey Leyva’s Air Max ‘86 has five hand drawn hearts, each representing the members of her family, on the toe box.
The NIKE Doernbecher Freestyle XIC Collection will be available in December. You can read more about the partnership here.
