Lamelo Ball’s first signature sneaker with PUMA was a hit in the MB.01 and the successor to the sneaker in the PUMA MB.02 hits the ground running with epic proportions and superior responsiveness.

“Working with PUMA to design the second version of my signature shoe is something I am incredibly proud of,” said LaMelo Ball. “When creating the MB.02, we took the designs to the next level to reflect my personal style with the flames, RARE and 1 of 1 graphics and bold colors. I’m excited to see fans experience the MB franchise in a new way with the launch of MB.02.”

The PUMA MB.02 boasts a similar makeup to its former model, as the silhouette keeps a lot of the core design elements. The most noticeable differences are the sneaker’s midsole unit and graphic upper. Rather than the cross-hatched midsole seen on the PUMA MB.01, the PUMA MB.02 midsole has a smooth sculpted appearance, utilizing PUMA’s Nitro foam cushioning. Elsewhere, the sneaker has a lightweight knit upper with wing graphics and Melo branding on the heel.

The PUMA MB.02 is set to drop on October 21st via PUMA.com, the PUMA mobile app, the PUMA NYC Flagship store and at Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, and Champs Sports for $130.
