LaMelo Ball and PUMA clearly know their target audience. Since its inception, the Charlotte Hornets star’s signature line has birthed youth-spirited models and playful colorways to match, appealing directly to the younger segments of the sneaker and NBA worlds. Naturally, Puma R78 Voyage Womens Shoes Puma Essential Kappe mit Logo in Navy PUMA MB.04 is continuing its Saturday morning cartoon embrace with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles link-up.
The collaboration consists of two pairs for a total of four individual sneakers, each of which features a background color taken from a Ninja Turtles bandana. One pair features blue and orange shoes for Leonardo and Michelangelo, while the other features red and purple for Raphael and Donatello. The intricate TPU pattern appears consistently across the Isn, taken in turtle-like neon green. Moreover, each shoe features an initial on the pull tab, a bandana on the tongue, and special TMNT x LaMelo co-branding on the heel.
Both TMNT x PUMA MB.04 colorways are expected to release in adult sizes before the end of 2024, although a firm date and retail price have yet to be confirmed. See private images below and visit our Sneaker Release Dates page to preview other upcoming basketball shoes.
