LaMelo Ball’s Puma MB.03

Over six months after its initial rollout, LaMelo Ball’s third signature shoe is finally getting its first Charlotte Hornets colorway. The Puma MB.03 has favored loud, in-your-face colorways thus far, executed notably through collaborative efforts and inspired designs drawn from LaMelo’s life and vibrant personality.

This latest “Buzz City” installment continues the eccentric trope, complete with Hornets shades of cyan and purple in an abstract mix. The base layer sports a wavy multi-colored pattern akin to that of tie-dyed fabrics, with slashed perforations revealing purple mesh underneath. Cyan coloring encompasses the tongue, heel, and outsole, while purple/silver detailing takes to the shoe’s various co-branded elements.
