LaMelo Ball is ready for the playoffs. He led the Charlotte Hornets into the play-in tournament and finished an incredible overtime win against the Miami Heat on Tuesday with a driving lay-up with less than five seconds to play. Now, as ‘Melo and the Hornets prep for a showdown with the winner of tonight’s Magic-76ers game with a ticket to the playoffs on the line, Puma is debuting a new low-top version of Ball’s MB.05 signature sneaker.
The Puma MB.05 Lo Flourish is the second cut-down version of LaMelo’s loud MB.05 signature we’ve seen, with a new lace cover cut out that sits on top of the silhouette like a flap. Of course, LaMelo’s childlike personality comes through, with loud, garish accents, pointy graphic overlays, and extra stitching across the toebox.
