LaMelo Ball's PUMA Sneakers Drop in Chino Hills Colorway

PUMA highlights LaMelo Ball's legendary high school career with 'Chino Hills' sneakers.
In this story:

Long before he was an NBA All-Star and even before his international career, fans first came to love LaMelo Ball thanks to his high school highlights. The Southern California hoops legend left an unmatched legacy in the region, and it is the inspiration for his newest hoop shoes.

Earlier today, PUMA Hoops announced that it is dropping another new colorway of Ball’s third signature sneaker. The PUMA MB.03 'Chino Hills' is an ode to Ball’s origin story.

The 'Chino Hills' colorway pays tribute to his jaw-dropping achievement with his high school team, where he scored a state-record 92 points as a sophomore at Chino Hills High. Design elements continue on from the previous 'Toxic' colorway and are reflected throughout with bold, neon elements and animalistic scratch marks – all fierce elements that celebrate Ball’s accomplishments.

The PUMA MB.03 'Chino Hills' features PUMA’s signature NITRO midsole for on-court power and a double-layered mesh upper for additional support, a full coverage, engineered nonslip rubber compound for enhanced durability and traction, and an upper construction that’s made with breathable mono-mesh for a supportive but ultra-lightweight fit.

In addition to the MB.03 Chino Hills, PUMA will be releasing a three-piece apparel collection that includes a hoodie, shorts, and a t-shirt. Retailing for $40-$125, the collection will be available on Friday, November 17. 

Online shoppers can shop the collection at PUMA.com, the PUMA App, Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Foot Locker Canada, and Champs Sports Canada. Follow FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news from the sports world.
