Since entering the NBA, LaMelo Ball has quickly ascended as one of the faces of Puma Basketball, bringing a fresh, youthful energy to the brand's hoops division. Even with him being sidelined for almost 30 straight games, Puma has been prepping new renditions of his latest performance model, the MB.03, and has a low-top iteration in the pipeline. Just a day after getting an official look at a new lifestyle model from LaMelo’s LaFrance line, images of his fourth signature sneaker have emerged online.
Like the MB.03 shape, the upper of the MB.04 sees an overhaul with an intricate TPU pattern. The web-like design enveloping the upper promises enhanced durability and flexibility, ensuring that the MB.04 stands up to the rigors of high-level play. Signature elements from LaMelo's branding, including the Phoenix logo and "1 1 1" motifs, are thoughtfully integrated into the design, embedding a piece of the athlete's identity into every pair. This colorway continues the vibrant in-your-face color palette the MB line has been known for, with a bright volt acting as the base and red taking over the TPU overlays and lace set. Underfoot sits a foam midsole and grippy outsole with Nitro Foam cushioning likely housed within.
The Puma MB.04 Red Volt will release in 2024 through Puma and select retailers online and in-store. As of this writing, the retail price has not been announced.
