Taking its name and palette from the Charlotte Hornet's City Edition uniforms, the Puma MB.01 Buzz City arrives in a black knit upper with turquoise wings embroidery surrounding the collar. On the tongue, a decorative '1' illustration is stylized identically like Ball's distinctive chest tattoo. At the base, a sculptural black sole with Nitro Foam technology is a perfect match for hoopers with explosive play styles. The PUMA MB.01 ‘Buzz City’ updates LaMelo Ball’s debut signature shoe with a distinctive two-tone palette inspired by the Charlotte Hornets, the franchise that selected the athlete in the 2020 NBA draft. The mid-top features a black textile knit upper with tonal no-sew overlays and contrasting teal accents, including LaMelo’s persona logo atop the tongue and ‘Not From Here’ inscribed on the toe box. Lightweight cushioning comes courtesy of a full-length Nitro Foam midsole, supported by a non-slip rubber outsole emblazoned with the word ‘Rare.’
