MB.03 —the latest shoe in LaMelo Ball’s otherworldly PUMA Hoops lineup—embodies the extraordinary talent of its namesake with a one-of-kind aesthetic. Laying the groundwork for this new silhouette is a NITROFOAM™ midsole for superior responsiveness and comfort, while remaining lightweight - perfect for high-energy, explosive playstyles. Featuring full coverage engineered nonslip rubber compound for enhanced durability and traction, the MB.03 is ideal for quick cuts and spot up jumpers, giving you grip like no other. The breathable monomesh upper has a disruptive construction with supportive fit but ultra-lightweight feel.
We’ve never seen anything like LaMelo Ball. Not on this planet, at least. That’s why his first signature PUMA Hoops basketball shoes, the MB.01, looks and performs like nothing else out there. The galaxy is a vast trove of wonders way beyond our imagination. Bring the wonders of space onto the court with the PUMA Hoops basketball shoes that takes you into orbit. A cosmic colorway comes together with space-age PUMA Hoops tech, like NITROFOAM™ and specially engineered knit, to make for a pair of kicks that are impossible to imitate. Melo and PUMA Hoops are truly Not From Here.
Designed for the sports enthusiasts out there, now you can look every inch the true basketball fan in our Melo Dime collection. Perform your best with basketball jackets and pants made of moisture-wicking technology to ensure you stay dry and cool, with eye-catching galaxy colours that lets you shine on the courts.
The MB.04 range is the fourth iteration of PUMA and LaMelo Ball’s collaboration. Much like the MB.01 to MB.03 range, MB.04 incorporates a range of visuals, designs, and quotes directly inspired by LaMelo Ball’s larger-than-life personality and captivating on-court performance.
Common themes include LaMelo’s “Not From Here” ethos, which is represented in alien-like tendrils that stretch across the shoes. His personal mottos of “1 of 1” and “RARE” show up on the shoes as well, speaking to his individuality and distinctive presence on the court.
These shoes also incorporate design elements to reflect LaMelo’s current NBA team, the Charlotte Hornets. You’ll find design components such as a hornet at the heel of the shoes, as well as colour schemes that are reflective of the team’s classic palette.
Here are some key ways in which the MB.04 improves upon the preceding MB.01, .02, and .03 models:
Yes, both the MB.03 and MB.04 lines of basketball shoes are well-suited to competitive play, especially indoor games. With some differences in their practical design, one type may appeal more to players than another.
Generally, the MB.03 can be good for those who prefer a bulkier basketball shoe that can keep their feet locked down. The MB.04 is generally lighter, more responsive, and has better overall breathability.
Whether you opt for an MB.03 or MB.04 set, you’ll find they’re well-suited to competitive play, offering the grip, stability and finer control that’s essential to competitive basketball.
While the MB.03 and MB.04 collections do not include customisation options, they’re two versatile ranges that include plenty of personality and visual flare.
This includes bright, striking designs of pastel blues and earthy reds, cleaner and understated blacks, and multi-colour fusions that are reminiscent of the works you’d see from a street graffiti artist.
No matter the shoes you’re considering from these two collections, you’re sure to find something that matches your personality and tastes.
The MB.04 range is designed to provide a regular fit. However, they remain a viable option for individuals with wide feet. If you have wide feet and would like to try out a pair of MB.04, you can try a pair that’s a half-size bigger than your typical fit.
The entire collection is designed with comfort and control in mind. From the lightweight construction to the breathable mesh and focused arch and sole support, most people with a range of specific foot needs will find MB.04 shoes to be a good fit.
While the functional design of the MB.03 and MB.04 basketball shoes cater to the needs of casual and competitive basketball players, the aesthetic designs of these shoes go way beyond the basketball crowd.
LaMelo Ball’s MB.03 and MB.04 are stylish basketball shoes that infuse so much personality that they’re also striking pieces of streetwear. For those who love to stand out and sport genuine flare in their day-to-day lives, it’s clear to see why the MB collection has proven so popular. They make for perfect day shoes thanks to their lightweight and cushioned construction.
Outside of the world of basketball, these shoes still shine as a general fashion statement on the streetwear scene.
Few NBA players today have quite the name recognition or level of respect as LaMelo Ball. After all, going from NBA Rookie of the Year to NBA All-Star in the space of 12 months takes quite a bit of skill.
