The follow-up to LaMelo Ball’s well-received debut PUMA shoe, the PUMA MB.02, is honoring Melo’s rookie of the year achievement while also showing love to Buzz City and the Hive.

The upcoming PUMA MB.02 “ROTY” comes dressed in a teal colorway that matches the Hornets’ signature color. The sneaker features the All-Star guard’s Rookie of the Year stats on the heel counter and Rookie of the Year branding on the eyelets. White accents line the parts of the phoenix-style graphics on the medial portion of the shoe and the laces, paying homage to the classic pinstripe look of the Charlotte Hornets. A hint of metallic luster adds a shine to the shoe, as every trophy deserves.

The PUMA MB.02 “ROTY” releases on December 9 via PUMA.com and select retailers. The retail price is set at $130.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
