LaMelo Ball may currently be in the midst of the release of his third signature silhouette, yet PUMA has kept the release window open for the PUMA MB.01. Refusing to cease in popularity years after the silhouette’s inaugural debut in 2022, the PUMA MB.01 recently was unveiled in an all-out gilded treatment bearing resemblance to his “Golden Child” nickname as the youngest of three brothers.

Releasing as a part of the Melo Rare Reserve Line, the aforementioned collection has returned one of the most exciting debut signatures in recent memory with premium, collectible colorways harkening back to the popularity of on-court silhouettes in the mid-2010s. From a vibrant “Digital Camo” aesthetic to a Breast Cancer Awareness installment, the PUMA MB.01 is set to embark upon its most majestic composition to date.

From vamp to heel, the entirety of the model is clothed in a “Metallic Gold” treatment whose tone varies depending on the collaboration between the varying textiles and finishes. The latter metallic detailing concentrates along the heel of the sole unit for an instant eye-catching element while the tongue, vamp and heel spine’s branded embellishments are cast in a vibrant “Fiery Coral” accent in conclusion

The PUMA MB.01 “Golden Child” is currently scheduled to be released on November 24th for a retail price of $140.

For more basketball models, the Book 1 “Detroit Stomper” recently surfaced.
