The PUMA MB.01 “Alien Safari” Is Dropping Next Week

As a die-hard sneakerhead with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the PUMA x LaMelo Ball MB.01 “Alien Safari” is a must-have for any collection! Having followed the evolution of LaMelo’s career since his days at Chino Hills High School, it’s exciting to see him finally getting his own signature shoe with a powerhouse brand like PUMA.

The “Alien Safari” colorway is wild and bold, perfect for those who aren’t afraid to make a statement on the court or on the streets. The all-over animal print is an electrifying touch that sets this sneaker apart from the crowd. And let’s not forget about the performance features – CMEVA foam technology offers superior responsiveness and cushioning, while the woven mesh upper provides breathability and support.

I’m particularly fond of the design details, like Ball’s “one of one” motto on the pull tab and the “RARE” callout on the bottom of the shoe. The laces wrapping through the athlete’s winged logo on the tongue is a nice touch, and the “MELO” lettering on the heel adds a classic finish to the design.

I’ll definitely be copping a pair of these for my collection come January 10th. And let’s not forget, if you don’t have a pair of alien-themed sneakers in your life, are you really living? Just remember to keep them away from real aliens, they might mistake them for their spaceship!

Puma and LaMelo Ball kick off the New Year by offering an exciting twist to his signature shoe, the Puma MB.01 for the Charlotte Hornets, with a bold new design.

Wearing a vibrant “Alien Safari” style, adorned with sparkling “Green Glimmer,” “Vibrant Magenta,” and “Bright Blue,” the shoe stands out with its electric, full-body animal print. The design is both eye-catching and performance-focused: it boasts CMEVA foam technology for excellent responsiveness and cushioning in a lightweight construction, and a breathable woven mesh upper ensures support and comfort.

Upon closer inspection, the phrase “one of one” is emblazoned on the pull tab, while “RARE” is highlighted at the shoe’s base. The laces weave around the athlete’s winged insignia on the tongue, and the word “MELO” can be found on the back.

On January 10 at 7 a.m. Pacific Time, the PUMA x LaMelo Ball MB.01 “Alien Safari” will debut online and at chosen PUMA Basketball stores. This shoe comes in two sizes: adult ($140 USD) and elementary ($120 USD). You can check out its design in the gallery provided above.
