Designed by Jeremy Sallee, the MB.04 dials up the futuristic vibes with sculpted TPU overlays in mixes of neon yellow, green and pink. A Green Glare mesh upper turns all eyes on you, contrasting fiercely with the neon orange collar padding.
There are also all the signature Melo details, like his 1 1 1 motif and the Phoenix logo on the tongue. On this kick, the pink Phoenix looks ready to burn on the neon yellow background with the yellow tongue tab above and green laces cinching everything in place.
The midsole? Nitrogen-infused foam, making every step feel like a bounce pass straight to the rim. It's yellow in the front and green at the back with intricate raised patterns throughout. And just so you don’t forget Melo’s whole vibe, “Not From Here” is stamped loud and proud on the back.
The party doesn't stop on the top of the shoe. Underfoot, the rubber outsole features a hovering spaceship on the forefoot — a nod to LaMelo's out-of-this-world play. The heel is covered in green flames for even more heat.
If you hoop like LaMelo does for the Charlotte Hornets — shifty, fearless, and impossible to guard — you need a sneaker that moves just as fast. The PUMA MB.04 "Not From Here" is built for highlight reels, ankle-breakers, and fast breaks straight to the bucket. Snag your pair on March 28 in men’s and grade school kids' sizes at your local Hibbett and City Gear stores or online.
