LaMelo Ball continues to work alongside PUMA with a new tonal iteration of the MB.01 sneaker model -- the UFO colorway is the new palette that adorns the low-cut design. It is made for high-energy performance on the court and has the implemented PUMA Hoops technology such as the Nitro Foam that is incorporated to the midsole foundation in order to provide support in terms of comfort and responsiveness.
The hues include dusty shades of grey as the base foundation and touches of bright teal as the accents for contrast, which can be most notably seen at the trimming and the outsole foundation. The galactic theme can be seen at the tongue, where there is a UFO graphic.
