These are extremely nice shoes, from the quality to the overall look and feel. Puma hit a home run on the MB Toxic, they fit perfectly, on the court they feel amazing with great grip and sole functionality. Bounce back is just the right amount to keep you moving or stop on a dime. The color way is without a doubt my favorite. The laces are just the right size and along with shoe comfort, they feel extremely safe to cut the courts up with. If just shoe style is what’s ordered for the day then they fit that target also because these are eye grabbing show stoppers. I absolutely love them!

Bought these at the request of my budding basketball star as a reward for being selected to the A-team. Although they incorporate styling cues ranging from Nickelodeon Slime, to the Mystery Machine from Scooby-do, and even from the latest Barbie movie, he is happy with their performance on the court. They seem to work quite well as designed. The extra set of laces was a nice addition, giving him the ability to lace one up in lime green and the other in the beautiful purple/pink color that is evident throughout the shoes.

My 12 y/o loves the shoes and the color combo. My son says the shoes are comfortable to wear. I took one star off because the tend to slide on the court, I feel the traction/grip should be better. We do not wear basketball shoes anywhere other than the basketball court. Other basketball shoes will hold their grip on the same courts my son plays on.

I really like the style of this shoe. It’s toxic purple and slime green color scheme is reminiscent of my 90s upbringing and hits my nostalgia buttons. It’s comfortable around my foot and cushioned well, but my one complaint is how it hits my ankle. I’d like it to be just a little bit taller. Other than that, no complaints. 4 stars.
I liked the MB.02s a lot, picked up the MB.03 and there are definitely improvements. Materials are nicer, weight is about the same as the previous model, but the same problem with dust pickup on the solid outsole exists as it did on the first two models. If you play on dust you're just going to have to wipe a lot to maintain traction. It's better than the 2s, but Puma still hasn't really solved the dust pickup issue yet. Clean courts though a fantastic shoe
I love the look of these shoes a lot. I was so excited to have them. I bought these shoes for fashionable reasons not for athletic reasons. It was just disappointing that the sizing for them are way off. I supposedly got a size 11 in men’s & they still didn’t fit! I noticed that they were made in Vietnam. So that made sense to me. Given I know that they’re size 2XL in shirts fit like a medium/large. They’re way off of the American sizing system. Plus somehow the shoes looked preowned or maybe they were just made badly. Idk, I bought these in support of an artist. So I hate that I had to return them & that’s if they let me.
An not a good one in my opinion. Looks like silly putty put together.No all black or white option or a mix of those two? Seems crazy to not offer that!Maybe it's cause I'm old, I still like shoes but I don't want to walk around in something so gaudy. Those look like something little kids would want.Puma shoes have been my favorites for decades an I've loved basketball shoes for years. Even use to wear crazy colored shoes in my twenties, but not anymore.....All black or white or a mix of those two. To me those should be options for every shoe. Not just fluorescent colors!I want a pair of these but not those colors. Bummer
I've had these for a couple of months now and they are spectacular! I've had several people compliment them. They look stunning outside, indoor lighting doesn't do them any justice. They came with purple laces installed and even included lime green laces in a pack. I immediately swapped out the purple for the lime green! Top quality all around! They are very comfortable and clean up easily.
Good morning my name is Loui nickname King Kong.I am a customer I purchased multiple Puma sneakers for myself and myclose friends and my colleagues they’re stunningly beautiful A PicassoNot only the puma sneaker looks great. Great support. I have to say better than the NikeSneakers Michael Jordan‘s. Puma sneakers and caps phenoms/white unicorns.
I bought these shoes as a Christmas gift for my husband and they are too narrow. So, he was going to return them. Only to find out that these Lamello Ball basketball shoes can only be returned 15 days after delivery. I ordered them early so that I would have them in time for Christmas and now that they don't fit, I can't even return them. And I was sent a coupon for 20% off my first purchase. I applied the coupon and it said, "not valid on this order." I chatted with customer service and they said that any new items were excluded from this coupon. It didn't state that when I gave them my email for the coupon, nor when I received it. Worst experience with a company ever. Puma sucks.
