Puma Basketball is stepping up its game, announcing the launch of a new monthly newsletter, “PUMA BASKETBALL INFORMATION,” to keep fans abreast of the latest developments in the category. The inaugural edition, released today, details a series of exciting product drops slated for March 2026, including signature models from LaMelo Ball and Tyrese Haliburton, as well as fresh iterations of the popular All Pro Nitro line. This expansion signals Puma’s continued commitment to the basketball market and its growing roster of star athletes.
LaMelo Ball’s MB.05 Gets a Minimalist Makeover
Leading the charge is the release of the LaMelo Ball MB.05 MIST, available now since March 1st. This signature shoe embodies Ball’s calm and collected demeanor on the court, even amidst chaos. The design features a clean, all-white aesthetic, symbolizing a balance between “stillness and movement.”
Beyond its striking appearance, the MB.05 MIST is engineered for performance. Molded wing heel straps and a forefoot strap provide a secure, locked-down fit, crucial for explosive movements. A rounded toe shape facilitates smooth toe-offs, while a flat heel and high-abrasion tread pattern deliver agility and reliable grip. Puma is also emphasizing sustainability, incorporating over 20% recycled materials into the upper. Unique details, such as the skull design on the outsole and the “One of One” graphic on the insole, add a touch of Ball’s signature flair.
The MB.05 MIST is priced at ¥20,900 (tax included) and is available at Puma Stores Osaka, the Puma official online store, the PUMA app and select retailers. Availability may vary by location.
Camouflage Style for LaMelo Ball’s Latest Signature Shoe
Building on the momentum, Puma is also releasing the MB.05 CAMO on March 27th. This new colorway of Ball’s signature shoe features a bold design with a dark-tone camouflage pattern accented by neon lime. The upper is adorned with graphic patterns and Ball’s signature details, including “NOT FROM HERE,” further emphasizing his unique style.
The MB.05 CAMO retains the performance features of the original, including the forefoot strap for a secure fit and support for Ball’s dynamic playing style. Like the MIST, it’s priced at ¥20,900 (tax included) and will be available at the same retail locations.
Tyrese Haliburton’s HALI 1 HALUCINATING: A Futuristic Design
On March 20th, Puma introduced the HALI 1 HALUCINATING, the signature basketball shoe of Tyrese Haliburton. Designed in collaboration with Salehe Bembury, this shoe blends futuristic details with a minimalist aesthetic. The flowing form is intended to reflect Haliburton’s intelligent and prompt-paced gameplay.
The HALI 1 HALUCINATING boasts a full-length NITROFOAM midsole, providing a high level of lightweight cushioning, responsiveness, and impact absorption. A TPU midfoot shank enhances stability, while the PUMAGRIP outsole delivers exceptional traction. This model is priced at ¥19,800 (tax included) and will be available at Puma Stores Osaka, the Puma official online store, the PUMA app, and select retailers.
All Pro Nitro 2 Receives a Vibrant New Colorway
Puma is also updating its popular All Pro Nitro 2 line with a new colorway, launching on March 21st. The shoe features a clean white upper accented by a neon pink midsole and outsole, with black formstrips adding a touch of contrast.
The All Pro Nitro 2 utilizes a dual-layer NITRO foam midsole – a softer foam on the inside for cushioning and a firmer foam on the outside for stability. This combination provides both responsiveness and support for explosive movements. An engineered mesh upper and PWR TAPE SQD support ensure a lightweight and secure fit. The new colorway is available for ¥18,700 (tax included) at the same retail locations as the other new releases.
Introducing the All Pro Nitro Skybreak: Innovation in Performance
Rounding out the March releases is the All Pro Nitro Skybreak, a revolutionary performance model designed to push the boundaries of basketball footwear. This shoe incorporates nitrogen-infused NITROFOAM in the heel piece, combined with an EVA midsole, to deliver exceptional shock absorption and propulsion.
The Skybreak features a multi-zone engineered mesh upper for targeted support and breathability. It also introduces a clear outsole, a first for the Skybreak series, combining functionality with a unique visual aesthetic. Priced at ¥14,850 (tax included), it will be available at Puma Stores Osaka, the Puma official online store, the PUMA app, and select retailers.
These releases demonstrate Puma’s commitment to innovation and style in the basketball space, catering to both professional athletes and enthusiasts alike. The combination of cutting-edge technology, signature athlete collaborations, and bold designs positions Puma as a key player in the evolving basketball footwear market.
