LaMelo Ball & PUMA Highlight Breast Cancer Awareness

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball and PUMA are supporting Breast Cancer Awareness with a rare sneaker release.

October is an important month for millions of families whose lives have been impacted by cancer. To help highlight Breast Cancer Awareness Month, PUMA is teaming up with Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball on a very special sneaker release.

At just 22 years old, Ball is already on his third signature sneaker with PUMA. However, the two partners are reprising Ball's first signature model to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The PUMA MB.01 'Breast Cancer Awareness' has been released for $135 on the PUMA website, Foot Locker, and other select retailers.

The all-pink colorway of the MB.01 silhouette features innovative PUMA tech like NITROFOAM™ and an embroidered pastel ribbon on the tongue as a symbolic testament to the compassion and commitment for the research and awareness that surrounds Breast Cancer. As part of this MB.01 drop, PUMA will donate $20,000 to Susan G. Komen®. 

The exclusive edition of Ball’s signature basketball shoe is the latest release from the NBA All-Star's “Rare Reserve” line. Thanks to his flashy play style and authentic personality, Ball has cultivated a loyal fanbase. With the release of the MB.01 'Breast Cancer Awareness' colorway, it's safe to assume the sensational point guard will garner even more admirers.
