When Puma and LaMelo Ball announced their partnership in 2020, they introduced the then-rookie as “not from here.” The tagline as evolved to “not from this world,” and LaMelo’s play on the court has backed up the claim. His out-of-this-world playmaking ability is an extension of his personal style, and that mindset can be seen all over his signature sneakers. The latest MB.03 colorway arrives just in time for the NBA season and taps into LaMelo’s alien-like qualities for a “Toxic” colorway.
The MB.03 “Toxic” features psychedelic colors and graphics inspired by Ball’s own alien tattoos. Performance-wise, the MB.03 is made up of a double-layered mesh upper, NITRO midsole, and a full-coverage engineered nonslip rubber compound for traction. Retailing for $125, the MB.03 Toxic will be available Friday, October 27 at PUMA.com, the PUMA mobile app, the PUMA NYC Flagship store, and at Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, and Champs Sports.
