Puma and LaMelo Ball are teaming up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to launch four different sneakers that take characters from the beloved franchise and bring them to life on Melo’s performance basketball models. While the four turtles come split between two different MB.04 colors, one with Donatello & Raphael and the other with Michelangelo & Leonardo, and their villains on the MB.01 (Baxter Stockman) and MB.03 Low (Krang), some key characters are still missing from the collection. That’s where this previously unseen MB.04 comes in, with the pair paying homage to the Turtles’ biggest villain — Shredder.
The pair differs from a traditional MB.04, using metallic silver leather on the base layer, stretching across the entire silhouette. Above this sits purple embroidered alien tentacle-inspired designs that run in tandem with the metallic silver tentacle overlays. These metallic silver details help create branding for LaMelo Ball, including his 1 Of One and Rare monikers.
