LaMelo Ball is launching his first shoe with PUMA, complete with a bright orange look and flame motifs

SOMERVILLE, Mass. — LaMelo Ball's debut season in the NBA has been filled with accolades and earning the league's Rookie of the Year Award. Now, the Charlotte Hornets' point guard is calling the shots for a new sneaker with PUMA.

On Tuesday, the athletic footwear and apparel company announced Ball collaborated with them to design the MB.01. This marks a first for Ball, and it's PUMA's first signature shoe release since PUMA Hoops was re-launched in 2018.

Bright orange dominates the shoe design, and PUMA said it includes an outline of flames shooting down from the ankle collar.
