Is Puma's latest Lamelo Ball signature release model worth your money? These are some of the most talked about basketball sneakers of the year but judge for yourself if they're worthy enough to be a game day sneaker.
I also touch on if the MB.02 is responsible for the ankle sprain Lamelo Ball suffered this season and what the MB.02 is designed for based on Lamelo Ball's game.

As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball sneaker technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the basketball shoe's functional attributes on the basketball court
Some of the main areas we cover in this basketball shoe playtest, teardown and performance review are:
- The weight, durability, fit and playability
- What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
- Puma basketball shoe technology explained

Cushioning and lockdown is great! The bounce and energy return I don’t think is an issue with the nitro foam but a problem with the insole being too “memory foam” like and thick. It kills the bounce! I replaced the insole and it’s a night and day difference.

Got these two weeks ago on release day. Hooped in them about three hours and they aren’t as bouncy as I’d want them to be but they are great. Never had Puma before and went from the Kobe 5 Protro so I was missing the bounce back feel. But like you mentioned they are great shock absorbers. Wish you touched on the nitro foam though. Don’t know what that is whether it’s more lighter or gives more bounce but I didn’t feel it at all in them. Oh well. For me 7/10.
