LaMelo Ball’s Fifth Puma Sneaker May Be His Wildest Yet

LaMelo Ball‘s signature series from Puma will continue in August with its fifth iteration, and there will be no dialing it down on the count of age.

The Puma MB.05 World Tour will launch Ball’s signature sneaker with a bright pink colorway accented by iridescent silver paneling. Several tones of pink and purple appear throughout the sneaker, including in the engineered mesh upper that incorporates repeating “1”s to invoke its “1 of 1” slogan. The number motif repeats on the tongue and crisscrossing straps, he latter of which contains pink barbed wires inspired by his tattoos.

More detailed barbed wires appear beneath the collar within the iridescent region, and on the heel, you’ll find a haloed Melo text hit, a winged number one and another “1 of 1” mark. Further down, the outsole’s heel is molded with a skull.

On the tech front, the MB.05’s midsole makes use of nitrogen-infused Nitro foam. As the shoe continues its run, Puma is promising more bold colorways, continuing the “rock star” look.

The MB.05 arrives on the heels of the LaFrancé RNR, Ball’s second lifestyle sneaker from Puma. Later in August, but before the latest performance basketball model launches, Puma will also introduce the MB.01234, which combines elements from all of Ball’s first four sneakers.

The Puma MB.05 World Tour will release Aug. 29 through Puma’s website and New York City flagship, as well as select third-party retailers. Pricing is set at $125.
