Puma LaMelo Ball MB.02 ‘Jade’
Drastically different from Nike’s commemorative offerings, the PUMA MB.02 “Jade” makes no overt nods to this upcoming year’s zodiac animal. Instead, the colorway looks to the titular stone, visually paying homage to its roots in Asian culture by way of a direct, instantly readable color story. Both the finish and color of jade is embodied throughout the entire shoe, emulated across near every fixture. Some details, though, instead opt for a gilded tone, an equally auspicious and fitting choice for the Lunar New Year.
