Of course, the shoes also feature the ball’s “MB1” icon and “MELO” on the back.
For constructive feedback, the verdict is on the new Puma shoes. According to social media posts, people despise the design of the sneakers. Some people have compared football shoes to Doritos and Hulk Hogan’s red/yellow suit.
However, everyone is a critic. It’s all a matter of perspective. Football fans are excited to shop his new sneakers next Friday. Puma executives are expecting the shoes to sell out quickly.
Puma will release LaMelo Ball’s MB.02 sneaker at retail stores on October 21st, 2022.

At 16, he became the youngest athlete with a signature shoe.
In 2020, Ball signed an endorsement deal with Puma. By default, Big Baller failed to promote the brand. Since then, the reviews on the shoe have been mixed – it is clear from the articles above.
