LaMelo Ball Debuts the PUMA MB.06 “Puerto Rico” in Bayamón
- LaMelo Ball launched his sixth PUMA signature shoe, the MB.06, with a “Puerto Rico” colorway sold only on the island, first at Jangueo en Bayamón on Friday 31 July 2026, an event he hosted to celebrate Puerto Rico's basketball culture[1][2]
- Fans got the MB.06 “Puerto Rico” and its lifestyle companion, the LaFrancé “Puerto Rico”, before anywhere else; limited pairs also went to PUMA's three outlets on the island[1][2]
- The MB.06 was to launch globally in September; pricing and tech specs were not yet available[1]
Notable features
- A wash of blue from a pale, sky-like tone at the tongue to saturated blue at the heel, with Puerto Rican flag colours on the sole[1][2]
- A cleaner, low-cut build than the MB.05: the wings and lace covers are gone, replaced by sculpted tooling, round side panels and a crossed traction pattern[1][2]
- His “Rare” and “1 of 1” markings return[1][2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
