Puma and LaMelo Ball will not have waited long to send their traditional nod to the Charlotte Hornets, where LaMelo Ball has been shining for more than four years now. The MB.04 has just been revealed in a new color.
Called “Iridescent Hornets”, it comes with a turquoise blue mesh upper on which the patterns on the front alternate between purple and pink. Among the details specific to this colorway, we find the illustration of the original Hornets mascot, present on the heel.
Third color available in France, the MB.04 “Iridescent Hornets” is available on Basket4Ballers at the price of 130 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 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.
