LaMelo Ball and PUMA are heading to Hawkins for a new Stranger Things collaboration built around three models from the basketball star’s footwear lineup.
The upcoming collection includes the Stranger Things x PUMA MB.06, LaFrancé, and LaFrance RNR, with each pair pulling different elements from the Netflix series’ supernatural world.
The MB.06 takes the most literal monster-inspired approach. Its muted purple upper is contrasted by bright red detailing, including the tongue and laces, while tooth-like elements wrap around the shoe’s sidewalls in a clear nod to the Demogorgon. Cracked, vein-like graphics spread across the upper, with additional creature-inspired artwork appearing throughout the design.

Things get much louder on the LaFrancé, which arrives almost entirely in bright red with contrasting electric blue graphics and oversized blue laces. Stranger Things branding appears at the top of the tongue, while dark vine-like patterns crawl across the upper and midsole.
The LaFrance RNR pulls the collection back into darker territory. Shades of purple cover the upper alongside cracked graphics and a bright red tongue, giving the pair a more understated Upside Down feel. The pack is also accompanied by special packaging featuring Demogorgon artwork and the phrase “Not From Here.”
The Stranger Things x LaMelo Ball x PUMA collection is currently expected to release during Holiday 2026. An exact launch date, pricing, and full retailer details have yet to be confirmed.
For more spooky sneakers, Nike Basketball has unveiled their 2026 "Halloween" collection.
