PUMA and LaMelo Ball are kicking off the new year with an intergalactic twist on the MB.01 silhouette. Introducing the bold “Alien Safari” colorway, this latest iteration delivers a cosmic fusion of style and performance, embodying LaMelo Ball’s signature “not from here” aesthetic.

The shoe’s upper showcases a vibrant alien green hue, accented by an otherworldly purple safari print that sprawls across the toe box and side panels. Designed for durability, the upper combines ripstop materials with fused TPU overlays. Branding details, such as the Puma formstrip and LaMelo’s phoenix logo, pop in a striking deep purple, while “1 Of 1” text reinforces the shoe’s unique identity.

On the performance front, the PUMA MB.01 “Alien Safari” integrates advanced technology. Nitro Foam cushioning in the midsole ensures responsive energy return, while X-shaped reinforcements enhance stability. A semi-translucent outsole adds traction and a futuristic flair, perfect for dominating the court or making a bold statement off it.
