Puma LaMelo Ball MB.03 Blue Hive

The Puma LaMelo Ball MB.03 Blue Hive is a basketball shoe with a slime-inspired look designed in collaboration with Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball. This version features a breathable knit textile upper, primarily in black, with jagged scratches revealing Electric Peppermint blue underneath. A synthetic black mudguard rounds out the toe box and includes "DiP" in red on the inner forefoot. The cushioned heel is black and showcases Puma branding in blue, along with LaMelo Ball branding featuring "M.E.L.O" and "01ofOne" in red. The tongue also displays bold branding elements, and the words "Not From Here" appear at the bottom of the laces. A black-speckled rubber sole and an Electric Peppermint blue outsole extend onto the body of the shoe in a slime-like design. A standout feature of this shoe is the midsole, which is infused with NITRO nitrogen-injected foam for lightweight cushioning and responsiveness. The Puma LaMelo Ball MB.03 Blue Hive was released on December 8, 2023, for $130.
