LaMelo Ball's entry into the Puma family with his signature sneaker line was spectacular, setting the stage for a new era in basketball performance footwear. The partnership between the young NBA superstar and Puma has been marked by innovative designs and unexpected collaborations, quickly propelling the MB series to one of the most popular lineups on the market. Following up on the duo’s Porsche collab and the inline Blue Hive colorway of the MB.03, the duo is set to launch a Spark-inspired colorway.
The Puma MB.03 Spark boasts an attention-grabbing design that embodies the Joker's chaotic yet charismatic nature. The sneaker features a dynamic greenish-yellow upper adorned with swirls of light orange, creating an eye-catching visual effect. Scratch marks across the upper reveal the purple mesh beneath, a nod to the Joker's iconic color scheme.
The camo-colored logos on the tongue blend purple and orange, complementing the overall design, while the Melo branding on the heel adds a personalized touch in matching hues. Performance isn't overlooked, with a green foam midsole incorporating Puma's Nitro Foam cushioning for superior comfort and responsiveness. The design is rounded off with a purple outsole that extends to portions of the sole unit, enhancing the sneaker's aesthetic appeal and providing excellent traction.
The Puma MB.03 Spark will release on April 5, 2024, through Puma and select retailers online and in-store. Available in full-family sizing, the men’s pairs will retail for $125.
