CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Reigning NBA Rookie of the Year and Charlotte Hornets superstar LaMelo Ball’s new signature Puma sneakers will soon be in stores.
Ball’s new Puma MB.01 has three new colorways on deck, including a collaboration with Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty. Ball sported the new Rick and Morty colorway during Wednesday’s victory over the Boston Celtics when he picked up a triple-double with 15 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds.
The other MB.01 colorways include a Buzz City edition featuring Hornets colors, as well as a gray and red. The Rick and Morty MB.01 will retail for $135 and will hit shelves on Feb. 18, 2022.
The Buzz City MB.01 Pumas are out a little sooner, arriving in stores on Feb. 2 with a $125 retail price.
The Rick and Morty colorway features two different sneakers, one for each character in the popular animated show. Each shoe includes Ball’s logo on the tongue contrasting the bright yellow and red colors.
