The MB.04 continues to set a steady pace in terms of the release of new colors, and this will continue with a new version already on sale in the United States, in homage to its mother.
The “Mama” colorway comes with an upper in different tones of red, pale red and pink, with purple finishes on the vamp and tongue. This is completed by a new “Mama” logo in the form of a tag. Mom's first name LaMelo BallTina, also appears on the heel in gray. The whole thing is based on a pink outsole.
The MB.04 “Mama” was released on December 11 in the United States. Its release in Europe could follow very soon.
Our verdict on the MB.04
Puma has gradually established the “MB” brand as a reference and came close to perfection with the release of the MB.03, last season’s Basketball USA favorite. There was therefore no question of disrupting a proven formula, meeting all the technical characteristics, in terms of grip, cushioning, comfort but also support.
This fourth version of the LaMelo Ball shoe brings few innovations, using the same sole and a similar design, on which the finishes have been revised. The model therefore remains no less exceptional, especially considering its price, but the surprise effect tends to fade.
This MB.04 could then complete the end of a cycle with one last big success, before moving towards completely new trajectories for the continuation of its signature line.
