Get Ready for an Interdimensional Drip
LaMelo Ball is no stranger to flashy, eye-catching designs, and his latest collaboration is set to be his most chaotic yet. The Zoomer hoops messiah is once again diving into the animated world, bringing back Adult Swim’s iconic duo for the Rick & Morty x Puma MB.05. Following the massive success of their previous partnerships on the MB.01 and MB.02 models, this new release proves that some things are just meant to be.
A Shoe for Every Dimension
True to the chaotic nature of the show, the Rick & Morty MB.05s are loud, mismatched, and packed with personality. Each shoe in the pair tells its own story, representing one of the titular characters.
The “Rick” Shoe: Cool and Calculated
The left shoe channels Rick Sanchez’s signature look with a cool palette of blue and purple. A wavy, all-over print gives the upper a trippy, visual effect, while the midsole and reinforced panels are drenched in a shade of blue reminiscent of Rick’s classic t-shirt. Hits of teal on the tongue and forefoot, along with pink graphics declaring “Not From Here” and “One-of-1,” complete the design. A graphic of Rick screaming into the void is featured prominently on the heel.
The “Morty” Shoe: Anxious and Orange
In contrast, the right shoe captures Morty’s nervous energy with a vibrant mix of yellow, orange, and purple. The optical illusion upper returns, this time in warmer tones. The midsole and side panels are bright yellow, complemented by a bold orange on the tongue and the TPU wing accessory. Matching his grandfather, a graphic of a screaming Morty adorns the back heel, perfectly capturing his perpetual state of panic.
LaMelo’s Cartoon Kingdom
LaMelo Ball has carved out a unique niche by blending the worlds of basketball and animation. His signature sneaker line with Puma has become a canvas for some of pop culture’s most beloved characters. Fans will remember his popular collaborations with classics like Scooby-Doo and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as a nostalgic nod to Dexter’s Laboratory. This latest Rick & Morty release solidifies his reputation as the king of cartoon collabs.
