The Puma MB1 Queen City is a refresh of LaMelo Ball’s debut signature shoe, designed for grade schoolers and featuring a color scheme that nods to the Charlotte Hornets. A bold violet hue floods the engineered knit upper, reinforced with tonal no-sew overlays and accented with teal branding. The teal elements include an outlined Formstrip on the lateral toe box and LaMelo’s logo on the tongue. Underfoot, lightweight cushioning is provided by a Nitro Foam midsole in a matching purple finish. The Puma MB1 Queen City was released in March 2022 and retailed for $90.
