Global sports brand PUMA has officially introduced 7-foot-3 Kai Sotto, currently playing for the Hiroshima Dragonflies in the Japan B. League, as its first-ever Filipino brand ambassador.
The 20-year-old Sotto joins NBA standouts such as LsaMelo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Dennis Schroder, RJ Barrett, Deandre Ayton, and Marcus Smart, among others, as part of PUMA’s growing roster of basketball athletes.
“Together, we’re gonna make some big moves on and off the court,” said Sotto during PUMA’s maiden AW23 collection preview party in Makati City, while wearing Ball’s newest signature PUMA sneaker, the MB.02 “Flare”.
In 16 games for the Dragonflies, Sotto averaged 10.9 points on 53.7% shooting, 7.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals, and 1.7 blocks as the team’s starting center.
Since Sotto’s arrival in the Japan B League after a stint with the Adelaide 36ers in the National Basketball League in Australia, he has helped the Dragonflies win 11 of their last 16 outings for a 39-15 record.
