LaMelo Ball’s latest signature sneaker with Puma, the Puma MB.04, has enjoyed a solid run of colorways since its debut in September. So far, the model has appeared in four different renditions: the 1LOVE, LaFrance, Hornets, and a collab with Scooby-Doo. The phoenix theme that has been part of LaMelo’s entire Puma line is getting honored on a brand-new MB.04 colorway.
Vibrant red and orange hues take over the base layer of the silhouette as the mesh layer features fiery flame graphics applied across the upper. Above this sits the alien tentacle-inspired TPU overlays in purple, yellow, and orange, wrapping all across the upper to provide reinforcement and display branding. Included in the branding are phrases and words like “Rare,” “1 Of One,” and “Love,” the former of the three also finding a home on the heel tab in a contrasting blue hue. The Phoenix logo on many of LaMelo’s sneakers remains along the tongue's top, this time getting an iridescent purple and blue makeover. Down below, the model comes with a full-length NITRO Foam cushioning set-up encased in the red and blue midsole, the latter color coming as part of the TPU reinforcement near the toe and midfoot. Finishing the design is the split midsole, coming in red near the heel and blue near the forefoot.
The Puma MB.04 Phoenix will release on December 6, 2024, through Puma and select retailers online and in-store. Available in full-family sizing, the retail price is $125 for men, $105 for GS, and $85 for PS.
