After a stellar debut season, LaMelo Ball received the 2020-21 Rookie of the Year Award. The new MB.02 ROTY is a tribute to that accomplishment and honors his Buzz City team with its striking teal colorway. A NITRO foam-infused midsole mimics Melo’s signature wings, which extend onto the engineered woven mesh upper in epic proportion. Outlined in royal blue and white, the bold avian treatment makes a wide-spanning style statement symbolic of the phenom’s soaring start. Tonal metallic accents add a hint of luster to these court-ready kicks, while instantly recognizable “1 of 1” branding reiterates that nothing else even comes close.
