LaMelo Ball and Puma have expanded their reach from on-court performance models to lifestyle-oriented sneakers, launching the Puma LaFrance model last year. Most colorways of the LaFrance have opted for vibrant color palettes, as seen with the Gifted, Slime, Amour Red, and 1 Of 1 rendition. Ball is looking to celebrate Valentine’s Day with his lifestyle model.
For this iteration of the Puma LaFrance, LaMelo has decided to swap out the leather paneling for an all-canvas upper, coating most of the model in a bright pink shade. This design includes the mudguard, midfoot panel, toebox, laces, tongue, and TPU heel spoiler. Providing a break from the dominating vibrant pink are pops of cream white on the oval-shaped cutouts on the midfoot and the branding details along the toe and tongue.
