LaMelo Ball MB.05 "Shine"

PUMA brings LaMelo Ball into the MB.05 era, and this NBA star kicks off the 2025-26 season with the innovative PUMA MB.05 "Shine." This model surprises us with a "Metallic" colorway that will be released later this year as part of his exciting collaborations, including a highly anticipated one with Rick and Morty. The reflective toe cap is one of its most distinctive and stylish features. However, the majority of its design maintains a more understated profile than LaMelo's previous bold models.

The left shoe breaks the monochromatic color scheme with its intense lime green accents, while the right shoe flashes with touches of orange. Inspired by Melo's bold style, this shoe features a striking chrome finish and signature iridescent details. Its upper consists of mesh with metallic overlays, while molded wings on the heel and a skull adorn the design, along with the "1" graphic on the outsole.

Innovative Design

The PUMA MB.05 “Shine” is the latest iteration in the extraterrestrial collection inspired by LaMelo Ball. Using a metallic silver base with textured, reptile-skin-like overlays, the shoe plays with the "Not From Here" concept, fundamental since the MB.01 series. Its 3D winged strap that crosses the laces is a striking detail that truly makes these sneakers stand out, evoking the vibrancy and boldness of a comic book bubble.

Exceptional Performance

NITRO foam cushioning remains the foundation of the model, ensuring an incredibly responsive playing experience, ideal for quick and agile point guards. With its innovative "Humanized" color scheme, this model blends volt and infrared details that highlight a powerful contrast and reflect the LaMelo spirit appreciated in previous releases.
