PUMA, NBA Star and PUMA Hoops athlete LaMelo Ball, and NFT Collectible Company Gutter Cat Gang (GCG) are teaming up to launch a limited-edition Hoops NFT – MB.03 “GutterMelo” colorway.

Starting on Thursday, June 29th, the limited-edition MB.03 GutterMelo NFT will be able for purchase on OpenSea – the world’s first and largest web3 marketplace for NFTs – with ETH or by using a credit or debit card. The debut sneakers start as a digital collectible that doubles as your ticket to then claim the exclusive physical version during a one-month redemption period between July 18 – August 20, 2023. After the one-month redemption period is over, there will not be another time to claim the physical sneakers.

The MB.03, which was first revealed by LaMelo Ball during his Europe Tour with PUMA in early June, is the third iteration in his MB signature sneaker franchise with PUMA. This next generation MB is built for performance by bringing the disruptive and unique character of Melo onto the court through unrestrained design and the latest PUMA NITRO foam technology. The MB.03 GutterMelo NFT is the first sneak peek at the expanding franchise, with more to come during the greater launch slated this fall.

Check out the official photos below, and look for the PUMA MB.03 “GutterMelo” to be available on OpenSea starting Thursday, June 29th at 11:00 AM ET. The retail price tag is set at $175 USD.
