Sneaker culture isn’t going anywhere but up, up and up. So of course it’s no surprise the hype is only intensifying for Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball’s new MB.02 Honeycomb sneakers hitting outlets this Friday.

The MB.02 Honeycomb PUMA kicks are on deck

From the flashiness of the colorways to the overall style, it’s all types of balling in Melo’s kicks. The sneakers go for $130 and become available Friday, March 10 at PUMA.com plus the PUMA mobile app, PUMA NYC Flagship, Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Foot Locker Canada, Champs Sports and Champs Sports Canada.

Inspired by LaMelo’s Buzz City team’s new alternative jersey, the MB.02 Honeycomb features a striking colorway that embodies Charlotte’s rich history. The shoe’s light green shade represents the branch Mint that was established to produce coins after North Carolina experienced the first U.S. gold rush.

Complete with advanced PUMA Hoops tech, including a NITRO foam infused midsole, this lightweight shoe is perfect for high-energy, explosive playstyles on the court. With a disruptive upper construction providing woven mesh and multizone targeted support, the MB.02 Honeycomb was engineered for just about any style of ballplayer as the breathability and engineered traction offers superior comfort and responsiveness whether you play in the paint or from the 3-point line.
