Puma is releasing an “Iridescent Dreams” iteration of Charlotte Hornets star point guard LaMelo Ball’s debut signature shoe, MB.01, which hits stores on Aug. 22 at Puma.com and select Puma stockists for $125 per pair.
Last month, the German sportswear giant launched a series of team-inspired colorways of the MB.01 Lo. Puma also joined forces with the hit tv series “Rick and Morty” in February to deliver a special mismatched iteration of the shoe.
The latest “Iridescent Dreams” colorway features a predominantly black color scheme on the mono mesh upper and is offset by iridescent accents, including the tongue’s “1 of 1” branding, on the forefoot, and the “M.E.L.O.” logo on the heel.
A galactic footbed breaks up the stealthy execution, while a sleek black Nitro foam-cushioned midsole and a rubber outsole complete the look.
The design gives off a game-ready glow with its luminous Melo branding.
According to the shoe brand, the MB.01 has a space-age PUMA Hoops tech, including Nitro foam.
