PUMA and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) are joining forces again, this time with a bold and villain-inspired sneaker: the MB.01 “Baxter Stockman.” Combining LaMelo Ball’s signature basketball shoe with elements from the infamous TMNT character, this design is a treat for fans of both basketball and nostalgic pop culture.
The sneaker draws inspiration from Baxter Stockman, the scientist-turned-robotic-fly villain. Its upper features dark smoke grey TPU overlays with vibrant rainbow graphics, giving it a futuristic and tech-inspired look. These design elements pay homage to Stockman’s transformation while also weaving in LaMelo Ball’s signature celestial themes, like the subtle phoenix motifs.
For performance, the MB.01 “Baxter Stockman” doesn’t disappoint. It boasts black NITRO Foam cushioning in the midsole for comfort and responsiveness, paired with dynamic splatter paint details for extra flair. The sleek all-black outsole and bold “X” overlays near the heel add a powerful finishing touch. LaMelo’s iconic “Not From Here” signature and phoenix logo round out this unique collaboration.
The TMNT x PUMA MB.01 “Baxter Stockman” is set to release in 2025 with a price tag of $140 USD. Fans can find it on PUMA’s website and at select retailers. Get ready to add a villainous twist to your sneaker collection!
