PRODUCT STORY

MB.02 Phenom—the latest shoe in LaMelo Ball’s otherworldly PUMA Hoops lineup—embodies the extraordinary talent of its namesake with a one-of-kind aesthetic. Laying the groundwork for this new silhouette is a NITRO foam-infused midsole that mimics Melo’s signature wings. The theme extends onto the engineered woven mesh upper in epic proportion, making a wide-spanning style statement. Tonal metallic accents add a hint of luster to the duotone court-ready kicks, while instantly recognizable “1 of 1” branding reiterates that nothing else even comes close.
