SLAM x Puma MB.04 comes in an infrared, blue, and metallic silver colorway
SLAM and Nick DePaula (SLAM's 30th anniversary collaborative designer) shared a post on Instagram on December 23 to announce their new partnership with Puma.
SLAM x Puma MB.04 comes in an infrared, metallic silver, and blue colorway. It also has gray laces, which go well with the red and silver patterns on the shoe.
It also shows LaMelo Ball's styles through eye-catching details and patterns. The upper of the shoe has a blue emblem and a cosmic theme.
The outsole of the shoe has "Not From Here" written on it, and the same is written in small text in the vamp. It also has SLAM written in the blue on the back of the shoes. The UFO graphic also appeared on the insoles and the bottom of the shoes.
SLAM also told in their recent press release that LaMelo Ball has been a great admirer of SLAM and has been a part of the SLAM family since his childhood. He appeared for the first time on SLAM at thirteen years of age.
SLAM also revealed that for LaMelo's SLAM cover shoot in Issue 237, he wore a LaFrance jersey and MB.01 shoes without laces. The player posed in the NBA logo posed.
They further added,
“It’s a little bit of a reach to say he’s already achieved ‘NBA Logo’ face-of-the-League status, but he’s on his way there, and we’re not afraid of a bold call. Consider this our prediction that one day we’ll all look back and realize that this cover made perfect sense.” Adam Figman (SLAM editor)
The shoes come in silver packaging, aligning with the shoe color. It also has a LaMelo's 2022 photoshoot picture.
SLAM x PUMA MB.04 is a limited edition sneaker. It will drop on December 27 on the Puma and SLAM websites at 10.00 am EST.
