En la primera semana despu\u00e9s, tuvimos una llamada Facetime con \u00e9l para obtener sus pensamientos e ideas generales abajo. Un mes despu\u00e9s, ten\u00edamos una habitaci\u00f3n llena de ideas.\n<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> En cuanto al calendario del producto, todo estaba en marcha desde el momento en que lo fichamos. Tras la primera llamada, invitamos a LaMelo a la oficina para ense\u00f1arle un mont\u00f3n de dise\u00f1os. Los pusimos todos en la pared y \u00e9l se pase\u00f3 por todos ellos. Era casi como un campamento de entrenamiento de calzado, porque ten\u00edamos que crear su zapatilla exclusiva en poco tiempo. Normalmente, este proceso lleva 18 meses o m\u00e1s. Le trazamos un calendario, le presentamos las direcciones de dise\u00f1o y le dijimos que ten\u00edamos que elegir una. Melo entiende todo el proceso de dise\u00f1o y fue muy f\u00e1cil trabajar con \u00e9l. Tiene mucha confianza en lo que quiere hacer.\n<strong>Jacob<\/strong>: Al final ten\u00edamos tres dise\u00f1os y lo llevamos mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del boceto. Casi hicimos un proceso de dise\u00f1o de seis meses en un mes. Desarrollamos mucho m\u00e1s producto del necesario, pero funcion\u00f3. De hecho, a \u00e9l le encantaron dos de ellos.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 hace que el MB.01 sea tan especial? <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Jeff<\/strong>: Construimos su zapatilla totalmente a medida y desarrollamos un ajuste totalmente nuevo para la MB.01. La MB.01 es uno de los primeros productos en los que pusimos Nitro Foam en la pista, lo que combinado con el nuevo ajuste de rendimiento de Melo y la altura del cuello la convierte en una zapatilla \u00fanica o \u201c1de1\u201d, como dice Melo.<strong>\nJacob: <\/strong>Como es una zapatilla de firma, tiene mucho m\u00e1s que contar. Hay mucho m\u00e1s proceso de pensamiento detr\u00e1s de cada aspecto de la zapatilla. La narraci\u00f3n est\u00e1 muy potenciada en la zapatilla.<br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row image single -->\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t<div class=\"0 scrollAnim\" \n\t    \n\t     style=\"Wide;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t;\" >\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\n\t    class=\"\"\n\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/gallery-1-lamelo.jpg\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t    object-position: 50% 0%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"descr\">La primera vez que LaMelo se prob\u00f3 la muestra final de producci\u00f3n del MB.01<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_2b\" ><br\/><strong><strong>Hablando del aspecto narrativo: \u00bfc\u00f3mo se les ocurri\u00f3 \u201cNot from here\u201d? \u00bfCu\u00e1l es el trasfondo de este eslogan?<\/strong><\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Jacob: <\/strong>La redacci\u00f3n es toda de \u00e9l. Me pregunt\u00e9 c\u00f3mo puedo llegar a conocerlo. Por eso, me fij\u00e9 en sus tatuajes. Son algo muy personal para \u00e9l. Tiene muchos tatuajes espaciales y un cohete en la pierna. Eso se va a rodar con los zapatos, as\u00ed que quer\u00edamos asegurarnos de que fuera intencionado y no chocara. As\u00ed que pusimos \u201cNo es de aqu\u00ed\u201d y nos aseguramos de que las l\u00edneas de los zapatos se separaran de las l\u00edneas del tatuaje de la nave espacial de su pierna.\n<strong>Jeff: <\/strong>Creo que cuando Melo vino a nosotros con todas estas frases, no tuvimos que hacer mucho m\u00e1s en t\u00e9rminos de idear una historia. Quer\u00edamos que pusiera \u201cNot from here\u201d y \u00e9l siempre dice \u201c1 of 1\u201d y \u201crare\u201d. As\u00ed que esas tres frases aparecen en el zapato. Jacob tuvo que encontrar la manera de colocar las frases en la zapatilla con buen gusto. Melo nos dio todo lo que necesit\u00e1bamos para la narraci\u00f3n, lo que sin duda nos ayud\u00f3 a acelerar las cosas.\n<strong>Jacob: <\/strong>Incluso el <strong>Rick y Morty<\/strong>-la colaboraci\u00f3n vino de \u00e9l.\n<strong>Jeff:<\/strong>\u00a0 Cuando dijo \u201cQuiero hacer un <strong>Rick y Morty zapato<\/strong>\u201d, est\u00e1bamos como: \u201cPerfecto, ese es\u201d.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 le pareci\u00f3 trabajar con LaMelo?<\/strong><\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Jacob<\/strong>: Lo mantuvimos bastante informal y tenemos una buena relaci\u00f3n. Es muy agradable trabajar con \u00e9l. Melo sabe lo que quiere, lo cual es bueno en \u00e9l. Tambi\u00e9n es muy directo.\n<strong>Jeff: <\/strong>Trabajar con \u00e9l ha sido interesante en el buen sentido. Nos desaf\u00eda constantemente sobre lo que podemos y no podemos hacer.\n<strong>Jacob:<\/strong> Jeff es el que dice basta, porque como dise\u00f1ador yo dec\u00eda: \u201cGenial, me encanta. Vamos a hacerlo!\u201d\n<strong>Jeff: <\/strong>Yo tengo que ser el malo de la pel\u00edcula, porque a veces tenemos que limitar las ideas, ya que f\u00edsicamente \u00e9l no puede llevar muchos zapatos en una temporada. Aporta muchas ideas realmente buenas.\n<strong>Jacob:<\/strong> Tambi\u00e9n tiene gracia que, justo antes de que le eligieran para el All-Star, que es un gran acontecimiento para su edad, brome\u00e1ramos sobre la posibilidad de que le regalaran m\u00e1s PE para la pr\u00f3xima temporada. Los PE son zapatos que s\u00f3lo \u00e9l consigue, lo cual es un proceso muy personalizado. Hicimos un trato: si entra en el equipo All-Star, puede conseguir m\u00e1s. En ese momento estaba en el aire, pero cuando lo consigui\u00f3, me puse a esperar un mensaje suyo con m\u00e1s conceptos.\n<strong>Jeff: <\/strong>Me mand\u00f3 un mensaje enseguida.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 color lucir\u00e1 en el partido de las estrellas?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Jacob: <\/strong>Este Allstar-game probablemente va a ser Rick y Morty.\n<strong>Jeff:\u00a0<\/strong>S\u00ed, Rick y Morty, aunque a Melo le gusta cambiar las cosas. As\u00ed que, \u00bfqui\u00e9n sabe? Podr\u00edas ver un nuevo colorway nunca antes visto.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 siente al ver las patadas en la cancha en los partidos de la NBA?<\/strong><\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Jacob<\/strong>: A veces lo olvido. No lo he visto en persona en un partido de la NBA, pero s\u00ed en otras personas que lo llevan. Creo que no lo entiendo del todo, pero dentro de un par de a\u00f1os quiz\u00e1 lo haga.\n<strong>Jeff:<\/strong> Es una de las cosas m\u00e1s bonitas y gratificantes ver tus zapatillas en una cancha de la NBA despu\u00e9s de 18 meses trabajando en ellas. Es como si todas las noches en vela con la f\u00e1brica al tel\u00e9fono y todos los madrugones por fin valieran la pena. Ver algo que has construido en la vida real sigue siendo una locura para m\u00ed. Hemos sacado la primera zapatilla de baloncesto firmada por PUMA en 25 a\u00f1os, es incre\u00edble pensarlo.\n<strong>Jacob: <\/strong>Llevo 10 a\u00f1os haciendo esto. Con cada zapatilla, a algunas personas les gustan y a otras no. La MB.01 es sin duda mi zapatilla mejor recibida.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><em>\u00a1Gracias a los dos por la charla!<\/em><br\/>\n<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- row image multi 1 -->\n<div class=\"row rowImages3 spacing\">\n\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t    <div class=\"bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.69230769230769  ; background-image: url('https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sidebar-1-3.jpg'); background-size: cover;background-position: 50% 0%;width:100%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t    <div class=\"bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.69230769230769  ; background-image: url('https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sidebar-X.jpg'); background-size: cover;background-position: 50% 0%;width:100%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t    <div class=\"bgimage\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.69230769230769  ; background-image: url('https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/sidebar-MB.jpg'); background-size: cover;background-position: 50% 0%;width:100%\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"row articleMulti2 spacing\">\n\t    <div class=\"col articleTeaser\" >\n\t\t\t<a class=\"hoverzooma  scrollAnim\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/sports\/puma-athlete-lamelo-ball-joins-the-nba-all-star-game\/\" \n\t\t\t     tabindex=\"-1\" \n\t\t\t    id=\"34328\"\n\t\t\t     style=\"width:100%;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t\t\t    aspect-ratio:1\t\t\t    ;\" >\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\n\t\t\t    class=\"hoverZoom\"\n\t\t\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Header-LaMelo-1.jpg\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t\t\t    object-position: 50% 0%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/es\/category\/sports\/\" class=\"secondary2\" style=\"margin-top: 17px;\">Deportes<\/a>\n\t        <h4>LaMelo Ball, atleta PUMA, participa en el partido de las estrellas de la NBA<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"description shortExcerpt\">\n\t\t\t\tEl atleta de PUMA LaMelo Ball sorprende a los aficionados al baloncesto de todo el mundo.

One month later, we had a room full of ideas.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jeff:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; In terms of a product timeline, it was full go ahead from the second we signed him. After the first phone call with him, we invited LaMelo into the office to show him a ton of designs. We put them all up on the wall and he was walking through all of them. It was almost like a footwear bootcamp, because we needed to build his signature shoe within a short period of time. Usually, this process would take 18 months or longer. We laid out a timeline for him, presented the design directions and told him we need to pick one. Melo understands the whole design process and it was pretty easy to work with him. He really is confident in what he wants to do.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jacob\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;: In the end we had three designs and we took it way past sketching. We almost did a six month design process in one month. We developed a lot more product than we needed to, but it worked out.

The MB.01 is one of the first products that we put Nitro Foam on to the court, this combined with Melo\u2019s new performance fit and collar height makes it a one-of-a-kind shoe or \u201c1of1\u201d as Melo says.\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;\\nJacob: \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;Since it`s a signature shoe, it has a lot more storytelling to it.

I asked myself how do I actually get to know him. Because of that, I was looking at his tattoos. They are something very personal to him. He has a lot of space tattoos and a visual of a rocket on his leg. That\u2019s going to be shot with the shoes, so we wanted to make sure to make this intentionally and not clashing. So, we put the \u201cNot from here\u201d and made sure the shoe lines flew off the lines of his spaceship leg tattoo.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jeff: \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;I think when Melo came to us with all these phrases, we didn`t have to do much else in terms of coming up with a story. We definitely wanted to have \u201cNot from here\u201d on it and he always says \u201c1 of 1\u201d and \u201crare\u201d. So, all of those three phrases show up on the shoe. Jacob had to figure out a way to tastefully place the phrases on the shoe.

He brings a lot of really good ideas.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jacob:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; It`s also funny, right before he got selected to the All-Star team, which is a giant deal for his age, we were joking about him getting more PEs for next season. PEs are shoes only he gets, which is a very custom process. We made the deal, if he makes it to the Allstar-Team, he can get more. At that point it was up in the air, then he made it and I instantly was expecting a text from him with more concepts.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jeff: \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;He texted me right away.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Which colorway is he going to wear at the All-Star game?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jacob: \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;This Allstar-game it`s probably going to be Rick and Morty.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jeff:\u00a0\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;Yup, Rick and Morty it is, although Melo does like to switch things up on us.

One month later, we had a room full of ideas.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jeff:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt; In terms of a product timeline, it was full go ahead from the second we signed him. After the first phone call with him, we invited LaMelo into the office to show him a ton of designs. We put them all up on the wall and he was walking through all of them. It was almost like a footwear bootcamp, because we needed to build his signature shoe within a short period of time. Usually, this process would take 18 months or longer. We laid out a timeline for him, presented the design directions and told him we need to pick one. Melo understands the whole design process and it was pretty easy to work with him. He really is confident in what he wants to do.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jacob\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;: In the end we had three designs and we took it way past sketching. We almost did a six month design process in one month. We developed a lot more product than we needed to, but it worked out.

I asked myself how do I actually get to know him. Because of that, I was looking at his tattoos. They are something very personal to him. He has a lot of space tattoos and a visual of a rocket on his leg. That\u2019s going to be shot with the shoes, so we wanted to make sure to make this intentionally and not clashing. So, we put the \u201cNot from here\u201d and made sure the shoe lines flew off the lines of his spaceship leg tattoo.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jeff: \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;I think when Melo came to us with all these phrases, we didn`t have to do much else in terms of coming up with a story. We definitely wanted to have \u201cNot from here\u201d on it and he always says \u201c1 of 1\u201d and \u201crare\u201d. So, all of those three phrases show up on the shoe. Jacob had to figure out a way to tastefully place the phrases on the shoe.

PEs are shoes only he gets, which is a very custom process. We made the deal, if he makes it to the Allstar-Team, he can get more. At that point it was up in the air, then he made it and I instantly was expecting a text from him with more concepts.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jeff: \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;He texted me right away.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Which colorway is he going to wear at the All-Star game?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jacob: \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;This Allstar-game it`s probably going to be Rick and Morty.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jeff:\u00a0\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;Yup, Rick and Morty it is, although Melo does like to switch things up on us.
