LaMelo Ball Brings Back Hugo the Hornet on His Next Puma MB.04 Release

LeMelo Ball continues to elevate the Charlotte Hornets’ legacy, both on the court and through his signature sneaker, the PUMA MB.04. This new release draws inspiration from the franchise’s iconic 90s color scheme, known for its bold and vibrant mix that once dominated the court.

The PUMA MB.04 utilizes the classic team colors through a striking front/back split design. The forefoot features a dark purple TPU shell, while the heel showcases teal mesh and rubber, ensuring the combination stands out with nostalgic flair. Adding to the throwback aesthetic, the shoes also feature Hugo the Hornet, the team’s beloved mascot, at the back. The mascot is depicted in a simplified 90s art style, signaling a unique PUMA rendition rather than an official team logo, adding a fresh twist to the iconic figure.

The PUMA MB.04 "Iridescent" drops on November 15th, retailing for $125.
