The NBA and WNBA have always been closely linked, with recent initiatives aimed at bringing the two leagues even closer. Basketball executives are generating excitement by pitting stars like Steph Curry against Sabrina Ionescu in matchups, while sneaker brands are increasingly focusing on WNBA athletes to influence the design of basketball shoes.
A prime example of this is the latest Puma MB.03 colorway, which pays homage to the Los Angeles Sparks, LaMelo Ball’s hometown WNBA team. The design features the team’s signature purple and gold color scheme, inspired by the Lakers, with orange accents adding a unique touch that represents the Sparks. The combination of purple lining and sole treatments with an all-gold upper results in a bold look that aligns with LaMelo’s distinctive style.
The Puma MB.03 “Sparks” is scheduled to be released on April 5th in full family sizing for $125. In the meantime, enjoy the official images below and check out our Sneaker Release Dates page for a comprehensive overview of all upcoming Puma releases.
