Release Date: February 1st, 2025
The TMNT x Puma LaMelo Ball MB.01 "Baxter Stockman" is a striking fusion of basketball flair and comic book villainy, drawing inspiration from the infamous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles antagonist. This collaboration showcases a unique colorway that mirrors Baxter Stockman's transformation into a half-man, half-fly character.
The shoe's upper features a dark smoke grey fused TPU overlay, providing a sleek, futuristic vibe reminiscent of Stockman's tech-forward personality. Vibrant rainbow graphics are scattered across the shoe, symbolizing the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the villain. These graphics are set against an upper designed with innovative materials that ensure durability and breathability, perfect for both on and off-court performance.
The midsole is equipped with Puma's signature NITRO Foam cushioning in black, offering superior responsiveness and comfort, accentuated by dynamic splatter paint details and bold "X" overlays near the heel, adding to the sneaker's edgy aesthetic. The all-black outsole not only complements the design but also ensures traction and stability.
LaMelo Ball's signature touches, like the "Not From Here" branding and phoenix motifs, integrate his celestial themes with the TMNT universe, creating a harmonious blend of two worlds. This colorway stands out with its iridescent touches, celebrating the mad scientist's flair for the dramatic.
