The story

On his association with Puma, Ayton spoke bluntly about his business-minded decision. “Nike is Nike, Adidas is Adidas. I’ve played in their circuits and stuff like that, but now it’s a business. You don’t want just product. You’re not a kid anymore. You’re really trying to get bank. That’s about it.”

Those words certainly made sense at the time for Ayton. But as he’s gotten deeper into his career, which may have turned out a bit less productive than he had hoped, he’s retreated back to the comforts of Nike after Puma did not elect to renew his deal. In 2025-26 with the Lakers, he was most often spotted in Kobe 6 Protros.
