LaMelo Ball Combines Forces on the LaFrancé x PUMA MB.03
News on this release was first published on August 31, 2023.
Update September 14: The LaFrancé x PUMA MB.03 release has been pushed back to October 6, dropping via PUMA's channels and Foot Locker locations.
As gets ready for his third season in the NBA, of course gave the budding star a third signature sneaker in the PUMA MB.03. The youngest Ball brother has his own lifestyle brand called LaFrancé, and it’s only right that the brand puts their spin on LaMelo’s signature sneaker.
Seen in a slime-green upper, alien claw marks are placed in strategic areas to help with ventilation which can be seen with the yellow mesh underneath. Fleur-de-lis graphics are placed throughout the upper. Slime-inspired panels are used on the heel and feature PUMA and Melo branding, with LaFrancé branding and LaMelo’s 1 of 1 logo seen on the tongue. The EVA compression moulded midsole is also seen in slime green and uses PUMA’s Nitro foam in the forefoot and heel for extra impact protection. The alien theme continues in the outsole, which runs up the midsole in slimy form in a uniform floral-like pattern to finish off the sneaker
The LaFrancé x PUMA MB.03 is set to drop on September 14 via PUMA’s channels and at select Foot Locker stores, retailing for $140. Hit the links below to purchase.
