LaMelo Ball took the performance basketball world by surprise with his initial signature Puma sneaker, the MB.01, in 2021. Since then, the MB series has expanded to four performance basketball models, multiple slides, and even lifestyle sneakers, though the mainline models are the most talked about. Following up on an extremely early first look back in December 2024, official images of the Puma MB.05 have emerged.
These official retailer images display the World Tour colorway, which was revealed in the initial early leak, albeit with some differences. The Aunt Pearl-esque design comes in a mixture of purple and pink hues with silver, chrome, and pearl-like designs on the tongue, collar, and midfoot. Unlike the leaked version, the cross strap on the tongue is not made of plastic TPU material, and it's much more subtle, blending in a bit better than the original enlarged sample.
