PUMA and LaMelo Ball repeatedly prove that the duo works together too well. The point guard plays for the Charlotte Hornets has been working with PUMA for quite some time and released his first lifestyle sneaker, the PUMA Hoops, earlier this year. Now we see the release of the PUMA MB.04 'Love & Rare'.
On September 12, 2024, the PUMA MB.04 will make its debut. The sneaker builds on the PUMA MB line that focuses on basketball shoes. In the past, LaMelo has already released several basketball shoes, including the PUMA MB.04.
Ball's fourth signature sneaker will first appear thanks to LaFrancé, LaMelo's streetwear brand. Like his previous designs for PUMA, the MB.04 has a striking look. The upper is made of sturdy mesh enveloped by an exoskeleton with 5D-printed designs.
Decorative curls are placed across the upper. 'RARE' is placed on the toe cap in curly letters and 'ONEOF1' is placed on the center panel. Also, if you look closely, you can spot 'MELO' on the midsole.
The LaFrancé x PUMA MB.04 'Love & Rare' drops on September 12, 2024. In addition to the release of the MB.04, you can also look forward to the release of the LaFrancé x PUMA 1 of 1 'Love & Rare,' which will be released on the same day at PUMA.
