Basketball fans have not seen much of LaMelo Ball on the court over the past two NBA seasons. The Charlotte Hornets point guard has missed significant time due to injuries. However, even the injury bug cannot slow down his signature sneaker line with PUMA.

Ball's third signature basketball shoe, the PUMA MB.03, has infused sneaker culture with some much-needed excitement. The latest installment has gone holographic with the MB.03 'Iridescent' colorway as part of Melo's Iridescent Pack. 

Taking the MB.03’s "Not From Here" aesthetic to a whole new stratosphere; the MB.03 Iridescent features a stunning prismatic sheen that’ll make you stand out, on-court or off. Below is an official look at the hoop shoes and details on how to buy them.

The PUMA MB.03 'Iridescent' is scheduled to launch on Thursday, March 28. Athletes and fans will be able to purchase the sneakers for $125 in adult sizes at PUMA.com, the PUMA mobile app, the PUMA NYC flagship store, Foot Locker, and Foot Locker Canada.

This high-performance basketball shoe is packed with PUMA tech, like ultra-responsive NITROFOAM™ for superior responsiveness and comfort, a full-coverage engineered nonslip rubber compound for enhanced durability and traction, and a disruptive upper construction made with breathable monomesh for a supportive but ultra-lightweight feel.

While Ball is making progress in his injury recovery, it is highly likely that the Hornets shut him down for the season. Until hoops fans get to see the otherworldly talent back on the floor, we have his bold footwear to remind us of his unbelievable playstyle.
