The MB.04 “Alien Skin” is the first-ever low-top version of LaMelo’s signature shoe line, and it’s bringing some serious sci-fi vibes just in time for spring. Whether you’re rocking them on the court or flexing them on the street, these kicks are loud, bold, and full of personality — just like Melo’s game.
So, what makes the LaMelo Ball x Puma MB.04 Lo Alien Skin so special?
For starters, it’s drenched in a wild blue and red alien-textured upper that gives it that “not from this planet” kind of energy. Inspired by Melo’s unpredictable, flashy style, the shoe features a fresh tongue and heel design, with his signature wing logo wrapped around the back.
But don’t let the outer-space look fool you — this shoe is built for serious hoopers. It packs a supportive, double-layered mesh upper, Puma’s NITROFOAM™ cushioning for explosive moves, and zoned materials to give you targeted breathability and support right where you need it. Bonus features include an external heel cap, an outsole with spaceship-inspired design, and Melo’s go-to catchphrases “NOT FROM HERE” and “RARE” for that extra swag.
This release follows the flashy LaFrancé drop in March, which leaned into shiny chrome and Y2K aesthetics. That collection included two slick colorways — Written in Chrome and Black Written in Chrome — giving Melo fans a more street-style option with futuristic flair.
