The Puma LaMelo Ball MB.01 Golden Child is a limited-edition sneaker inspired by NBA star LaMelo Ball’s first sneaker with Puma. From the basketball player’s Rare Reserve Collection, this sneaker was once player-exclusive (PE). The Golden Child iteration features an upper of dusty gold monomesh with metallic gold overlays for support and structure. An embroidered rocket ship flame design on the collar nods to Melo’s spaceship tattoo. The gold metallic TPU midsole is composed of Puma NITROFOAM for ultimate responsiveness and lightweight comfort, while the outsole is crafted from a non-slip rubber compound for impact absorption, durability, and multidirectional traction. Notable LaMelo branding includes his signature wings on the tongue, the motto '1 of 1' on the medial side toe cap, and the word RARE in orange beneath the translucent rubber of the outsole. Released on November 24, 2023, with a retail price of $140.
