American professional basketball player LaMelo Ball’s signature PUMA MB.03 gets its first Hornets-inspired colorway. The “Buzz City” rendition of the shoe is a tribute to LaMelo’s team, the Charlotte Hornets, with a vibrant mix of Electric Peppermint and Purple Glimmer that mirrors their colors.

The design takes inspiration from tie-dye, featuring a dynamic and colorful pattern across the base. Slashed perforations peek through, revealing purple mesh underneath for a layered look.

Teal accents on the tongue, heel, and outsole add a pop of color, complementing the intricate purple and silver details that adorn the shoe.

The PUMA MB.03 “Buzz City” launches in Japan on 14 March 2024 at PUMA retailers. While a US release date is still under wraps, fans can expect this US$125 shoe soon. Stay locked into this page for more updates in the coming weeks.
