LeMelo Ball’s signature Puma Basketball line has been a resounding success so far. Visit any big sneaker retailer if you need proof; the Charlotte Hornets star’s kicks have earned a rightful place on window displays throughout the country, appealing directly to a younger audience of Gen Z consumers with a penchant for the bold and eccentric, much like the man behind the product.
Puma expanded on the success of the series’ most current model, the Puma MB.03, by introducing a low-top version earlier this summer, releasing an all-white colorway and three monochrome “Team Bank” pairs. Having made an introduction in conservative looks, the Puma MB.03 Low appears ready to move forward with flashy color-blasted combos as seen across LeMelo’s signature line thus far.
Fiery red and yellow treatments touch up the top portion of this “Lava” colorway, with the sole opting for a rich shade of purple. The most notable difference between the low and mid-top MB.03 is the absence of claw-like cutouts here, replaced by synthetics that mirror the pattern of the exaggerated midsole.
These drop August 16th for $115 via Puma and retailers; a slight markdown from the shoe’s mid-top counterpart. See detailed images below and turn to our “Where To Buy” section below for purchase links once pairs become available.
