LaMelo Ball has already racked up the SkyMiles this summer. On top of needing to jump from his old Charlotte digs to his new Minnesota home plenty, the rollout of his PUMA MB.06 began with a trip to Puerto Rico, hosting a fan-first activation centered around his island-specific debut colorway.

Evidently, tropical regions are a focus all season long. Even as we count down until the release of his next silhouette, the PUMA MB.05 still has plenty to say for itself before next season. That’s particularly true for the MB.05 Lo, a truncated build that comfortably slides into a register of shortened re-takes the Big Cat has trotted out each summer.

It’s hard to get more weather-appropriate than with the PUMA MB.05 Lo “Miami,” leaning on the Miami Vice tonality that’s dominated any footwear with this title for a generation. Split between aquamarine collars and a bright pink sole unit, the shoe dedicates the space between to a mix of both, yet the overall profile is energetic enough to match its namesake and to turn heads at any of your runs.

The PUMA MB.05 Lo “Miami” is already surfacing via some overseas channels, but a firm U.S. release date hasn’t been confirmed just yet. Catch detailed studio imagery included below. We’ll keep this page and our Sneaker Release Dates hub updated with any additional info we find in the weeks to come.
