Something promised, something due. As announced, the MB.04 closes the week with the release of this new “Phoenix” colorway. There is no question here of evoking any affiliation with the Suns for the leader of Charlotte, the Phoenix being quite simply part of the motifs which have adorned his signature shoes since the beginning of the “MB” collection with Puma.
For the rest, this MB. 04 does not deviate from its color guidelines 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 available from today on Basket4Ballersat a 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.
