PUMA MB.02 “ROTY” Pays Homage to LaMelo’s Rookie Year

The follow-up to LaMelo Ballâ€s well-received debut PUMA shoe, the PUMA MB.02, is honoring Meloâ€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 guardâ€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.
