As NFTs continue to stake their mark in the sneaker industry, the boundaries between fashion, technology and art are blurring. The surprise partnership between NFT initiative Gutter Cat Gang and LaMelo Ball’s signature line with Puma has given this style another boost.
Gutter Cat Gang x PUMA MB.03 GutterMelo is poised to redefine uniqueness in the sneaker industry, following in the footsteps of Nike’s SWOOSH and RTFKT projects.
The MB.03, which LaMelo Ball introduced on his PUMA-sponsored European tour in early June, is the third installment of his MB signature shoe series with PUMA. Created to offer the highest level of play, the MB design showcases Melo’s unique, rule-breaking personality on the court. The silhouette features PUMA’s future-oriented NITRO foam technology.
The MB.03 Guttermelo NFT is the first glimpse of the growing range, with several exciting announcements planned for launch this autumn.
Charlotte Hornets superstar LaMelo Ball signed a long-term deal with the Boston-based athletic wear titan in 2020. Since then, the duo has thrilled the footwear scene with their signature shoe designs and quirky makeovers. The player’s initial trademark boot, titled the PUMA MB.01, premiered in 2021, followed by the second signature silhouette, the MB.02.
Introduced in 2022, the MB.02 shoe proved to be another popular sneaker due to its vibrant colors. In 2023, PUMA and the sportsman take their association to a new level with the PUMA MB.03 silhouette. A new colorway of their third shoe, dubbed “La France,” recently surfaced online.
Although it was a regular pair and not an NFT, they are expanding the collaboration to NFTs with the new multi-color edition of the silhouette.
The LaMelo Ball x PUMA MB.03 “Guttermelo” NFT will be available later this month. Interested sneakerheads can register on PUMA’s website for regular updates.
