LaMelo Ball Unveils PUMA MB.05 Lo
The MB.05 is going low.ByAaron ShamimApr 16, 2026

LaMelo Ball introduced his latest signature model in a statement moment, debuting the PUMA MB.05 Lo 'Flourish' during a key matchup for the Charlotte Hornets. The bright green pair immediately stood out on court, made even more memorable by Charlotte’s win over Miami and Ball’s late-game impact.
The MB.05 Lo marks a more intentional evolution of his signature line rather than a simple low-top variation. The silhouette features a reworked upper with layered textures, a more aggressive shroud design, and added structure around the forefoot for improved containment. These updates give the model a sharper, more performance-driven identity compared to earlier entries in the MB series.

Visually, the 'Flourish' colorway leans fully into LaMelo’s bold style. A vibrant slime green finish dominates the upper, paired with sculpted details and graphic elements that create a dynamic, almost tattoo-like aesthetic. The midsole and heel continue the futuristic design language that has become a signature of the MB line, balancing performance innovation with standout visuals.
While early previews of the MB.05 Lo surfaced around All-Star Weekend in a more minimal form, this release feels like the model’s true debut. The 'Flourish' edition delivers a complete vision—louder, more refined, and fully aligned with the personality that defines LaMelo’s on-court presence.
The PUMA MB.05 Lo is set to release on May 15, 2026 in both adult and grade school sizing.
