PUMA Hoops has partnered with the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and basketball star/PUMA Hoops athlete, LaMelo Ball to launch a limited-edition collection of basketball sneakers. The collaboration will feature four unique designs from Ball’s signature line, each inspired by “TMNT” characters, and will roll out throughout February. 

The lineup includes: 

  • MB.01 Baxter Stockman: A multi-colored iridescent design inspired by the half-man, half-fly villain, releasing on Feb. 1. 

  • MB.04 Donatello & Raphael: A mismatched colorway featuring each turtle's signature bandana colors, releasing on Feb. 8. 

  • MB.04 Leonardo & Michelangelo: Another mismatched design highlighting the bandanas of the other turtles, available Feb. 14. 

  • MB.03 Lo Krang: A hot pink and purple sneaker inspired by the alien supervillain Krang, dropping Feb. 22. 

The MB.01 and MB.03 models feature PUMA Hoops’ NITROFOAM technology for lightweight responsiveness and a nonslip rubber compound for durability. The MB.04 designs incorporate a 5D-printed upper, custom TMNT graphics and nods to LaMelo Ball’s “1 OF 1” and “RARE” signature phrases. 

“It’s been great bringing these designs to life,” says Ball. “Each sneaker really is 1 of 1.”  

The collection will be available at Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Champs, PUMA.com and PUMA’s flagship store. The sneaker releases will be accompanied by an apparel line featuring T-shirts, shorts, a hoodie and a puffer vest.
