No, LaMelo Ball didn't get up one fine morning and decide to declare his love for the Phoenix Suns. This new “Phoenix” color is in fact one of its trademarks since the Phoenix is one of the patterns that have adorned its signature shoes since the start of the “MB” collection with Puma.
The leader of the Hornets also does not deviate from his line of conduct in terms of colors with a multi-colored upper. This is articulated between orange, red and yellow. The Phoenix appears in blue on the forefoot and in blue and purple on the tongue, accompanied by a “VIP” inscription. The heel is complemented here by a blue flaming “Rare”.
The MB.04 “Phoenix” is announced for December 6 in the United States for the price of 125 dollars.
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 4th 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.
