LaMelo Ball's latest collaboration with a $4 billion brand gets his girlfriend's seal of approval

Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball has been away from on-court action for quite some time now. However, it hasn't stopped the former Rookie of the Year from signing lucrative brand deals with sports giants. Ball is signed with the German sports giant Puma, and his latest collection of shoes just hit the market.

According to Forbes, the brand value of Puma is $4 billion. The sports brand made the Forbes Fab 40 list for the first time, ranking sixth in the business category. LaMelo's girlfriend, Ana Montana, expressed her approval of her boyfriend's newest merchandise on her Instagram story.

She posted a video of her unboxing Melo's latest sneaker line and accompanied it with eyes and heart-eyes emojis as the caption. The sneakers were fresh out of the box and boasted an aquamarine blue hue.

The MB.03 CLT Basketball Shoes featured the standard LaMelo Ball 1-of-1 logo on the sneaker's foxing. The swoosh of the sneaker is covered in scratch cutouts alongside slime-inspired rubber wraps.

The sole has a slimy design and is packed with Puma's HOOP tech and NITRO foam for plush comfort, explosive jumps, and softer landings.

In the previous story to the MB.03 CLT, Ana Montana posted a video of her unboxing the Puma x LaMelo Ball LaFrance sneakers and accompanied the video with heart eyes and fire emojis. The LaFrance sneaker line is a collaboration project between Puma and Ball. It is different from the MB.03 CLT, as these sneakers are more off-court focused.
