PUMA x Stranger Things MB.06 lands in Taiwan for NT$4,980
LaMelo Ball’s PUMA x Stranger Things MB.06 pairs a deep purple upper with red laces and rows of white teeth. It costs NT$4,980 at selected stores in Taiwan.
PUMA has teamed up with the Netflix series Stranger Things for a new version of LaMelo Ball’s sixth signature basketball shoe. The low-top MB.06, style 313625_01, uses deep purple and red, with rows of pointed white teeth running along its sides. In press material distributed on November 9, PUMA Taiwan said the shoe was available at selected stores for NT$4,980. The collection also includes apparel, with the product selection varying by location.
White teeth run along the sides
Dark lines branch across the purple upper from forefoot to heel. The red tongue, laces and lining draw attention back toward the center of the shoe. Rows of pointed white shapes frame red sections at the forefoot and outer heel, giving the panels the appearance of open mouths. Viewed from the front at an angle, the teeth follow the curvature of each shoe, revealing how the graphics wrap around the upper.
PUMA calls the collaboration “Containment Breach,” drawing on Hawkins and the show’s Upside Down. Lettering at the heel references Hawkins, while the teeth evoke the creatures in the series. In the campaign photo, a single shoe sits on a metal tray like a laboratory specimen, with the cool reflections setting off its red tongue. The product photograph puts both shoes together against a white background, making the branching forefoot pattern and details around the laces easier to see.
The product photo shows the MB.06’s red laces, purple crackle pattern and pointed teeth along the sides.
The MB.06’s low collar, lateral support and outsole
The collaboration uses the MB.06 performance basketball platform. PUMA describes a low collar and a dynamic lacing system that lets players adjust the fit over the instep. A drop-in midsole provides cushioning. TPU sidewalls support the foot during cuts and lateral movements. The PUMAGRIP rubber outsole uses a multidirectional tread pattern designed for sudden stops, turns and changes of direction. With the graphics concentrated on the upper and side panels, the low profile and sidewall remain easy to distinguish.
