Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball has always showcased vibrant and unique colourways for his signature sneakers. The spectrum has been remarkable, from trippy designs inspired by the popular Cartoon Network show Dexter’s Laboratory to a bold green look influenced by the iconic Nickelodeon slime. However, the eye-catching “MarshMelo” custom design by Isidore Studio (@isidorestudio) sees the Puma MB.03 embody one of its most fitting themes yet: marshmallows.

The Inspiration for the Theme

Many fans know Ball by his nickname, “Melo,” a moniker he’s embraced since his NBA debut in 2020. This nickname has become a key part of his identity, both on and off the court. 

The ‘MarshMelo’ theme is a unique and clever play on Ball’s nickname. It blends the soft, sweet imagery of marshmallows with the striking, dynamic design of his signature shoe style. This distinctive theme is sure to pique your interest and have you wanting more—much like the sweet treat from which it derives its name.

A Closer Look at the Sneaker Design

You’ll immediately notice the sneaker’s upper takes on a playful array of marshmallow-inspired hues. 

From the bottom, you’ll find the slime-inspired rubber wrap-ups done in crisp white. Moving slowly to the midsole, the colours transition into a subtle icy blue. This shade continues onto the upper, accentuated by hints of white and gold.

From there, the upper transitions into the colour of everybody’s favourite marshmallow flavour (don’t even fight it). A gentle pink shade slowly deepens into a vibrant pink as it approaches the tongue and collar. Coordinating laces and an inner lining mimic the strawberry-flavour theme, while the signature scratch cutouts bring back the crisp white details present at the sole unit. 

The finishing touch is LaMelo Ball’s personal logo, painted on the tongue in white with gold trimming. Similarly, his other signature elements receive gold detailing, infusing the sneaker with a touch of luxury.

How To Get A Custom Pair

Yes, these stunning sneakers already have a lucky owner. Spurs forward Sidy Cissoko sports these beauties, and while they play on Melo’s moniker, they also reflect Sidy’s sweet passes and point guard skills. 

If you’re feeling inspired, you might want to try snagging your own pair of MB.03 sneakers (or any other silhouette you really love) and attempt to recreate the fabulous design yourself. The incredible design was painted on the otherworldly “Iridescent” PUMA MB.03, which serves as the perfect base for this stunning artwork.

Or, you could go one step further and contact the gifted Isi for a completely unique custom pair. You definitely won’t regret having a custom pair made by this talented artist.

I also recommend taking some time to explore the other mesmerising designs this creative has crafted. Isi has transformed everything from LeBron’s to Kobe’s with the most delicate gradient designs and colour palettes. Each pair is truly a masterpiece worthy of admiration.

While you wait to get your hands on a custom pair from this incredible artist, why not check out the striking pink MB.03 from Lamelo’s official releases? And remember, stay tuned with us at Sneaker Fortress for more exciting custom and concept designs.
