PUMA expands its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) collaboration with the MB.01 “Baxter Stockman,” merging LaMelo Ball‘s signature line with a villain-inspired design that fuses basketball innovation with nostalgic pop culture elements.
Inspired by the infamous Baxter Stockman, the sneaker showcases fused TPU overlays in dark smoke grey against an upper decked with vibrant rainbow graphics, delivering a futuristic, tech-forward look. These design elements mirror Stockman’s transformation from scientist to robotic fly, while seamlessly incorporating LaMelo’s celestial themes, highlighted by subtle phoenix motifs.
Performance features include black NITRO Foam cushioning in the midsole, accentuated by dynamic splatter paint details and bold “X” overlays near the heel. A sleek all-black outsole solidifies the design, while LaMelo’s “Not From Here” signature and phoenix logo complete this striking blend of TMNT villainy and basketball legacy.
