LaMelo Ball's PUMA Sneakers Get Toxic With Trippy Colors

The PUMA MB.03 'Toxic' releases on October 27 for $125 in adult sizes.

Just when you think sneaker brands cannot drive up any more hype, PUMA takes it to another level. Some would say an otherworldly level of excitement that is clearly not from here. Those are the words to describe the face of the brand's basketball division - LaMelo Ball.

The Charlotte Hornets point guard has cultivated a loyal fanbase over the years thanks to his flashy play style and even more electrifying persona. Ball's third signature sneaker, the PUMA MB.03, has been released in two colorways so far. However, we think the third installment might be the best yet.

Heavily designed by Ball, the MB.03 'Toxic' colorway is inspired by his belief that he's from another world, featuring psychedelic colors of the underground and graphics reminiscent of Ball’s own alien tattoos. Below is everything athletes and fans must know about the spacy sneakers.

The MB.03 'Toxic' brings Ball’s otherworldly style and performance to the court like never before. The fluorescent colorway features a supportive, double-layered mesh upper and a NITRO™ midsole for extreme power on the court. 

The MB.03 also includes a full-coverage engineered nonslip rubber compound for enhanced durability and traction that’s ideal for quick cuts, as well as a lightweight and breathable fit. 

"I’m excited to unveil the MB.03 Toxic," said Ball. "This shoe reflects my personality and my style, and I can’t wait to witness the magic that they bring to the court." The shoes hit shelves on Friday, October 27. Shoppers can purchase a pair for $125 at PUMA.com, the PUMA mobile app, the PUMA NYC Flagship store, Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, and Champs Sports.
