The MB.04 is back as Christmas approaches, and as we are now accustomed to, it's another color that will amaze the eyes. He is named “Heem”, in reference to one of his many tattoos. The upper is distinguished by its multi-colored patterns on the back but especially by its phosphorescent coating in fuzzy green standing out on a black base. Pink and neon green also accompany it on the tongue and sole.
The other particularity of this MB.04 is the presence of a new logo at the heel. We see there LaMelo Ball hanging on the inscription “Not From Here” like when he remained hanging on the circle after a huge dunk in January 2022 against the Hawks.
The MB.04 “Heem” is available on Basket4Ballers at the price of 125 euros.
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.
