PUMA Crowns LaMelo Ball with the MB.04 'Golden Child'

In a family stacked with talent, earning the title of 'Golden Child' is no easy feat. With Lonzo and Gelo paving their own paths, LaMelo Ball has had to shine even brighter to set himself apart—and his latest signature sneaker reflects that in full.

The PUMA MB.04 'Golden Child' is drenched in a striking metallic gold finish, reinforcing LaMelo’s status as a generational talent and the face of PUMA Hoops. Every inch of the sneaker, from the sculpted overlays to the intricate outsole detailing, is bathed in gold, giving it a bold, almost trophy-like presence. The only contrast comes from the black tongue and heel branding, allowing the shimmering aesthetic to take center stage.

On the heel, a LaMelo-headed cherub graphic subtly nods to his angelic playstyle and, perhaps, the never-ending debate over which Ball brother reigns supreme. But on-court, there's no question—LaMelo continues to prove he's built for the spotlight.

Pairs of the MB.04 'Golden Child' release via PUMA.com and select retailers on Friday, March 14. The shoes are priced at $125. While you wait, enjoy official photos of the pair below.
