Jared Ebanks In January of last year, LaMelo Ball and PUMA debuted one of the most widely-adorned on-court collaborations in recent memory, fusing the crude yet infectious writing of the show Rick and Morty with one of the most entertaining young hoopers in the game today. Now, the two entities have returned for their second collaborative effort with the PUMA MB.02.
Mimicking the first effort’s mismatched color blocking, the left and right shoes equate a similar gradient, stretching a vibrant green-to-purple composition across Rick’s left shoe while the right indulges in a neon yellow-to-pink look for Morty. Placing their zombified faces atop the tongue and insoles, the sidewall’s jet-black wings coordinate with the sock liner above for a much-needed darkened contrast. Enveloping both sole units in a clad wave of the forefoot’s chosen tone, hot pink and purple “Rick and Morty” text arrives at the base of the vamp while the medial side of Rick’s silhouette reads his iconic “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!” line while Morty’s pair reads”Get Your Shit Together” from the Tiny Rick episode.
Set to release this month, enjoy official images of the Rick and Morty x PUMA MB.02 below while we await further drop details in the meantime.
For more silhouettes tooled for the hardwood, the Air Jordan 37 teams up with Zion Williamson’s favorite manga, Naruto.
