Getting ready for the start of the official NBA season, LaMelo Ball and PUMA Hoops are releasing the MB.03 “Toxic.” The shoe comes fresh off the heels of Ball’s collaboration with his own lifestyle brand LaFrancé.

The Charlotte Hornets star launches a florescent and radioactive iteration for his third signature shoe. Ball, who was heavily involved in the design of the shoe, wanted to create a colorway that was inspired by his belief that he is from another world. With psychedelic colors and graphics including Ball’s own alien tattoos, the shoe leans into Ball’s out of this world abilities on and off the court. Combining vibrant hues of pink, green and purple, the midsole’s special shape draws the attention of onlookers. The sole has full coverage engineered with nonslip rubber to enhance durability and traction. The shoe is lightweight and breathable, improving performance for Ball to be at his best.

The PUMA MB.03 “Toxic” arrives in retailers for $125 USD on PUMA and select retailers starting on October 27.
