TLDR: LaMelo Balls PUMA MB.04 ‘Hugo The Hornet’ combines Charlotte Hornets-inspired colours, advanced performance technology and a fresh interpretation of the mascot Hugo. Release on 15 November 2024 for €125.

PUMA and LaMelo Ball celebrate basketball history with the MB.04 ‘Hugo The Hornet’ - a tribute to the iconic colours of the Charlotte Hornets of the 90s.

The design features a striking purple and turquoise front/back contrast, with a dark purple TPU shell in the forefoot and turquoise mesh and rubber on the heel. Hidden details inspired by LaMelo make the design even more exciting. Particularly striking: Hugo the Hornet, the Hornets mascot, appears in a simplified 90s style and gives the shoe a unique PUMA touch.

Performance is not neglected: the breathable double-layer mesh upper and NITROFOAM cushioning ensure stability and energy on the court.
