LaMelo Ball's PUMA LaFrancé "Butterfly" Releases May 9

It's very likely LaMelo Ball stays with the Charlotte Hornets for the next few NBA seasons. Time will tell exactly how each impending campaign will pan out, but what's already been confirmed is that the guard's PUMA partnership continues to cook.

Currently, the performance-oriented PUMA MB basketball shoe is in its fourth iteration, delivering a reliable ride in both mid-top and low-top packages. Off-the-court, Ball's LaFrancé silhouette keeps providing folks across the globe a high fashion-inspired look for a fraction of the price. His chunky design recently surfaced in a "Pure Magenta/Ultra Violet" color scheme, adding yet another tally to Ball's bold PUMA catalog. The pair, dubbed "Butterfly," includes a series of stencil-like graphics across the profiles, shaped as the winged insect.

Enjoy detailed shots of the latest PUMA LaFrancé below. Pairs of the "Butterfly" release will hit PUMA.com on Friday, May 9, for $110.
