Updated April 29th, 2024: @sneakerhighway shared the best images of the PUMA MB.04 we’ve seen yet. Lining up with the initial “group shot” photos we featured, the “Teal/Black,” “Purple/Teal,” “Red/Green” and “Neon Green/Black” colorways are revealed in high quality detail, embedded below. A release date is still unclear, but given that new editions of LaMelo Ball shoes have arrived on a consistent annual basis, an official debut in Q2/Q3 seems likely.
Updated April 4th, 2024: A new image posted by @jumpershop_th offers a first look at several new Puma MB.04 colorways (below). Treatments range from pink/blue “South Beach” designs to stealthy black/chromatic colorways, embracing more playful looks in an on-theme continuation of LaMelo Ball’s signature shoe line.
No official Puma MB.04 release dates have been made public at the time of this update, but the new model could arrive in Fall 2024 if Puma sticks to its established rollout schedule.

LaMelo Ball’s Puma MB.03 hasn’t even been out for six months, but we’re already getting a glimpse at what’s next for the Puma athlete’s signature shoe line. New images shared by @sneakerhighway23 offer a detailed look at the Puma MB.04 ahead of its arrival later this year, and it’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from a LaMelo Ball shoe.
Taking note from the playful design of past signature looks, the Charlotte Hornets star’s next model stays on brand with an elaborate TPU structure that encompasses nearly the entire shoe. This element completely covers the toe before transitioning into a more spliced-up pattern towards the quarter and heel, satisfying the shoe’s design and performance basketball needs through added foot security.
Red overlays take on a yellow base on this pair, producing a fiery aesthetic that’s perfectly aligned with the shoe’s eccentric design language. The Puma MB.04 doesn’t have a firm rollout date set at the time of this writing, but indications suggest the new model will arrive in Fall 2024 if Puma and co. stick with past release tendencies.
