The striking combination of orange and grey sets the MB.02 apart.
The NBA Playoffs are heating up with four explosive second-round matchups featuring powerhouses such as the Denver Nuggets and Boston Celtics. The Charlotte Hornets, on the other hand, are laying low after a season riddled with injuries and anxiously awaiting next week's NBA Draft Lottery. Without star point guard LaMelo Ball for a majority of the past season, they finished with a 27-55 record. However, this hasn't stopped Ball from winning elsewhere.
Last October, Ball introduced the MB.02 with PUMA Hoops, and since then, he has outfitted the court-ready sneaker in a bevy of electric looks — from a Nickelodeon collaboration to a celebration of the Lunar New Year. Now, the duo has prepared a "Gorangé" colorway that takes a bold orange and fuses it with hits of gray. Ball's typical motifs such as his "1 of 1" branding make a return while its typical NITRO-backed midsole offers extensive responsiveness.
For those interested in picking up a pair, LaMelo Ball's PUMA MB.02 "Gorangé" is priced at $130 USD and is set to release on May 12 via PUMA and select PUMA Hoops retailers around the world.
