PUMA Announces Charlotte-Inspired MB.01 “Queen City” Colorway

LaMelo Ball and PUMA Hoops continue to drop dimes.

The Charlotte Hornets guard has made waves since his high school days. Now shining under the brightest lights, LaMelo Ball and PUMA are just getting started.

Ballâ€s signature shoe, the PUMA MB.01, has been a sensation with its handful of colorways: the all-red launch colorway, the grey & red, the “Buzz City” iteration, and the most recent Rick and Morty collab. PUMA follows up the momentum with the announcement of another iteration, inspired by the city of Charlotte.

The upcoming PUMA MB.01 “Queen City” honors Ball starting his NBA career in Charlotte, North Carolina. Additionally, PUMA and Ball are giving back to the city of Charlotte and the community as the brand and the baller have refurbished two courts at L.C. Coleman Neighborhood Park. The courts, located at 1501 McDonald Street, feature Ballâ€s signature wings, “1 of 1” designs, and are painted with a palette inspired by the MB.01 “Queen City” and “Buzz City” colorways.

The PUMA MB.01 “Queen City” releases on March 18 for $125 on PUMA.com, the PUMA NYC Flagship store, Foot Locker, Foot Locker Canada, Kids Foot Locker, Champs Sports, and Eastbay. As always, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will have members ready for drop day.
