Kai Sotto is the New Cat in the Global PUMA

Global sports brand PUMA marks its bold foray into the Philippine basketball market by naming Kai Sotto as its first Filipino baller to serve as the newest global brand ambassador. The German sports brand revealed its partnership with the Filipino hooper import during its recently concluded autumn/winter collection preview party last April 19.

One of the best homegrown players from the Philippines, Kai is considered as one of the top basketball prospects in Asia and has a significant following among Filipino basketball fans the world over. His partnership with PUMA is set to strengthen the brand’s presence in the basketball scene and appeal to young consumers who identify with his talent, personality and style.

“His rising popularity and boundless potential in the local and international basketball scene is a testament to his hard work to make a name for himself and raise the Philippine flag on the world stage. Kai’s basketball career mirrors the PUMA brand values of bravery, confidence, determination and joy, all of which advance our FOREVER FASTER mantra,” said PUMA Philippines Country Manager Paolo Misa.

The former UAAP juniors champion and MVP left the Philippines in 2019 to pursue his NBA dreams and has since made an impressive stint in the international basketball scene as a Filipino import for club teams in Australia and Japan. Kai signed with Adelaide 36ers of Australia’s National Basketball League (NBL) from 2021 to 2022. Today, the 7-foot-3 Pinoy import is playing with the Hiroshima Dragonflies of Japan B.League. The Filipino basketball community hopes for his return to suit up for Gilas Pilipinas to help the country’s campaign at the FIBA World Cup this year.

“My style and story as an athlete has always been about getting faster and better in every game. I am proud to be part of a brand that represents both my story and the values that are inherent to Pinoys. I am excited and happy to be the new cat in the PUMA family,” said Kai.

PUMA’s partnership with Kai marks the start of the brand’s expansion plans in the market as a full subsidiary. As the first Filipino hooper to be part of the global PUMA family, Kai shares the excitement of his fans at home and looks forward to engaging with them and achieving even greater things with the fastest sports brand in the world.

In a true FOREVER FASTER fashion, the sports brand welcomed Kai as its newest global ambassador with a dedicated page on PUMA Philippine website. Fans can now visit the page to see Kai’s favorite PUMA collection such as suede classic sneakers, basketball shoes, hoodies, and sweatpants. Follow Kai Sotto and PUMA’s social media pages for thrilling news and updates about the collaboration.

For instance, the Midnight Black variant significantly elevates a room’s look and feel.

Midnight Black

These ACs use Samsung’s WindFree Technology that disperses air through micro holes at an extremely high speed, allowing them to cool bigger rooms swiftly without the harsh blow of air and the noise one can get from a typical air conditioning unit.

Besides its superior cooling ability that casts a still-air environment, Bespoke WindFree also features an automatic self-cleaning capability, an intelligent control function, and an excellent sleep mode that makes it a definite must-have.

The entire Samsung WindFree AC lineup, including the Bespoke ACs, has a 5-star rating on Energy Efficiency from the Philippine Department of Energy. This rating means users can increase their electricity bill savings using Samsung ACs.

Adding to the line’s overall value, the Bespoke WindFree ACs also integrate the full functionality of SmartThings – Samsung’s official app that can simplify the connected experience within homes. The technology allows users to control their home devices easily; in this case, their aircon units – and optimize according to their lifestyle wherever they are, with just several convenient taps.

According to Jan Martinez-Dolalas, Samsung’s Marketing Communication Lead for Air Solutions, now, more than ever, is the time to consider getting or upgrading to Bespoke WindFree.

“Our newest AC line gives customers the best of both worlds: premium comfort and exceptional style. Whatever their preferences are and the look they’re going for, Bespoke WindFree gives them the freedom to choose; it empowers them to improve and upgrade any space and lifestyle. We’re proud and happy that our technology leads to more comfortable and meaningful home experiences.”
