The MB.01 was co-designed by Lamelo and he incorporates elements that reference his tattoos and personal brand. The flames shooting on the ankle collar mirrors his rocket ankle tattoo while the tongue incorporates “Not from Here” branding. A final nod is the “rare” print on the outsole which a nod to his performance on the court which earned him the title of NBA Rookie Of The Year.
Packed with tech: The MB.01 uses Puma’s Nitro Foam in the midsole of the sneaker and it is paired with a full coverage non-slip rubber compound on the outsole. The upper is a mix of breathable mono mesh and 3D-printed panels which offers it a sleek design while offering a supportive and ultra-lightweight feel.
