LaMelo Ball est l'un des joueurs les plus excitants de la NBA et la nouvelle g\u00e9n\u00e9ration du basket-ball. Avec son style de jeu \u00e9lectrisant sur le terrain et son style personnel en dehors du terrain, il repr\u00e9sente une grande victoire pour notre marque. Nous avons sign\u00e9 avec le jeune talent en octobre de l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re et d\u00e9voil\u00e9 cette ann\u00e9e la premi\u00e8re chaussure de basket sign\u00e9e PUMA, la MB.01. Il s'agit de la premi\u00e8re chaussure signature de PUMA Hoops depuis la relance de notre cat\u00e9gorie basket en 2018.

La premi\u00e8re semaine qui a suivi, nous avons eu un appel Facetime avec lui pour recueillir ses id\u00e9es g\u00e9n\u00e9rales. Un mois plus tard, nous avions une salle pleine d'id\u00e9es.\n<strong>Jeff :<\/strong> En ce qui concerne le calendrier du produit, nous avons donn\u00e9 le feu vert d\u00e8s que nous avons sign\u00e9 avec lui. Apr\u00e8s le premier appel t\u00e9l\u00e9phonique, nous avons invit\u00e9 LaMelo dans le bureau pour lui montrer une tonne de mod\u00e8les. Nous les avons tous accroch\u00e9s au mur et il les a parcourus. C'\u00e9tait un peu comme un camp d'entra\u00eenement \u00e0 la fabrication de chaussures, car nous devions cr\u00e9er sa chaussure f\u00e9tiche en tr\u00e8s peu de temps. Habituellement, ce processus prend 18 mois ou plus. Nous avons \u00e9tabli un calendrier pour lui, pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 les orientations de conception et lui avons dit que nous devions en choisir une. Melo comprend tout le processus de conception et il a \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s facile de travailler avec lui. Il a vraiment confiance en ce qu'il veut faire.\n<strong>Jacob<\/strong>: \u00c0 la fin, nous avions trois mod\u00e8les et nous sommes all\u00e9s bien au-del\u00e0 de l'esquisse. Nous avons presque r\u00e9alis\u00e9 un processus de conception de six mois en un mois. Nous avons d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 beaucoup plus de produits que n\u00e9cessaire, mais cela a fonctionn\u00e9. En fait, il a ador\u00e9 deux d'entre eux.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Qu'est-ce qui rend le MB.01 si sp\u00e9cial ? <\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Jeff<\/strong>: Nous avons construit sa chaussure enti\u00e8rement sur mesure et d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 un tout nouveau fit pour la MB.01. La MB.01 est l'un des premiers produits pour lesquels nous avons mis de la Nitro Foam sur le terrain, ce qui, combin\u00e9 \u00e0 la nouvelle coupe et \u00e0 la hauteur du col de Melo, en fait une chaussure unique en son genre, ou \u201c1of1\u201d comme le dit Melo.<strong>\nJacob : <\/strong>Comme il s'agit d'une chaussure signature, elle a beaucoup plus d'histoire \u00e0 raconter. Il y a beaucoup plus de r\u00e9flexion derri\u00e8re chaque aspect de la chaussure. La narration est tr\u00e8s pouss\u00e9e sur la chaussure.<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 premi\u00e8re fois que LaMelo a essay\u00e9 l'\u00e9chantillon de production final de la 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>En ce qui concerne l'aspect narratif, comment avez-vous eu l'id\u00e9e de \u201cPas d'ici\u201d ? Quel est le contexte de ce slogan ?<\/strong><\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Jacob : <\/strong>La formulation est enti\u00e8rement de lui. Je me suis demand\u00e9 comment faire pour le conna\u00eetre. C'est pourquoi j'ai regard\u00e9 ses tatouages. Ils repr\u00e9sentent quelque chose de tr\u00e8s personnel pour lui. Il a beaucoup de tatouages sur l'espace et une fus\u00e9e sur sa jambe. Nous voulions donc faire en sorte que ce soit intentionnel et que cela n'entre pas en conflit. Nous avons donc ajout\u00e9 la mention \u201cPas d'ici\u201d et nous nous sommes assur\u00e9s que les lignes de la chaussure s'\u00e9cartaient des lignes de son tatouage de vaisseau spatial sur la jambe.\n<strong>Jeff : <\/strong>Je pense que lorsque Melo nous a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 toutes ces phrases, nous n'avons pas eu \u00e0 faire grand-chose d'autre pour trouver une histoire. Nous voulions absolument qu'il y ait \u201cPas d'ici\u201d sur la chaussure et il dit toujours \u201c1 sur 1\u201d et \u201crare\u201d. Ces trois phrases figurent donc sur la chaussure. Jacob a d\u00fb trouver un moyen de placer les phrases avec go\u00fbt sur la chaussure. Melo nous a donn\u00e9 tout ce dont nous avions besoin pour la narration, ce qui nous a permis d'acc\u00e9l\u00e9rer les choses.\n<strong>Jacob : <\/strong>M\u00eame les <strong>Rick et Morty<\/strong>-La collaboration est venue de lui.\n<strong>Jeff :<\/strong>\u00a0 Lorsqu'il a dit \u201cJe veux faire une <strong>Chaussure Rick et Morty<\/strong>\u201d, nous nous sommes dit : \u201cParfait, c'est celui-l\u00e0\u201d.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong><strong>Qu'avez-vous pens\u00e9 de votre collaboration avec LaMelo ?<\/strong><\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Jacob<\/strong>: Nous sommes rest\u00e9s assez informels et nous avons de bonnes relations. Il est tr\u00e8s agr\u00e9able de travailler avec lui. Melo sait ce qu'il veut, ce qui est bien chez lui. Il est \u00e9galement tr\u00e8s direct.\n<strong>Jeff : <\/strong>Travailler avec lui a \u00e9t\u00e9 int\u00e9ressant, dans le bon sens du terme. Il nous met constamment au d\u00e9fi de savoir ce que nous pouvons et ce que nous ne pouvons pas faire.\n<strong>Jacob :<\/strong> Jeff est celui qui m'a dit d'arr\u00eater, parce qu'en tant que designer, je me disais \u201cG\u00e9nial, j'adore \u00e7a. Faisons-le !\u201d\n<strong>Jeff : <\/strong>Je dois \u00eatre le m\u00e9chant, parce que nous devons parfois r\u00e9duire les id\u00e9es, car il ne peut physiquement porter qu'un nombre limit\u00e9 de chaussures au cours d'une saison. Il apporte beaucoup de tr\u00e8s bonnes id\u00e9es.\n<strong>Jacob :<\/strong> C'est aussi dr\u00f4le, juste avant qu'il ne soit s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9 dans l'\u00e9quipe All-Star, ce qui est \u00e9norme pour son \u00e2ge, nous plaisantions sur le fait qu'il aurait plus de chaussures de sport pour la saison prochaine. Les PE sont des chaussures qu'il est le seul \u00e0 obtenir, ce qui est un processus tr\u00e8s personnalis\u00e9. Nous avons conclu un march\u00e9 : s'il fait partie de l'\u00e9quipe All-Star, il pourra en avoir d'autres. \u00c0 ce moment-l\u00e0, c'\u00e9tait en suspens, puis il l'a fait et j'ai imm\u00e9diatement attendu un message de sa part avec d'autres concepts.\n<strong>Jeff : <\/strong>Il m'a envoy\u00e9 un texto imm\u00e9diatement.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Quel coloris portera-t-il lors du All-Star Game ?<\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Jacob : <\/strong>Pour ce match des \u00e9toiles, ce sera probablement Rick et Morty.\n<strong>Jeff :\u00a0<\/strong>Oui, c'est Rick et Morty, m\u00eame si Melo aime bien changer les choses. Alors, qui sait ? Vous pourriez voir un nouveau coloris qui n'a jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 vu auparavant.<br\/>\n<br\/><strong><strong>Que ressentez-vous lorsque vous voyez les coups de pied sur le terrain lors des matchs de la NBA ?<\/strong><\/strong><br\/>\n<br\/><strong>Jacob<\/strong>: J'ai parfois tendance \u00e0 l'oublier. Je ne l'ai pas vu en personne lors d'un match de la NBA, mais je l'ai vu sur d'autres personnes qui le portaient. Je pense que je n'ai pas encore tout compris, mais dans quelques ann\u00e9es, je le comprendrai peut-\u00eatre.\n<strong>Jeff :<\/strong> C'est l'une des choses les plus cool et les plus gratifiantes de voir ses chaussures sur un terrain NBA apr\u00e8s 18 mois de travail. C'est comme si toutes les nuits pass\u00e9es au t\u00e9l\u00e9phone avec l'usine et tous les petits matins finissaient par payer. Voir quelque chose que vous avez construit dans la vie r\u00e9elle est toujours aussi fou pour moi. Nous avons sorti la premi\u00e8re chaussure de basket sign\u00e9e PUMA en 25 ans, c'est impressionnant d'y penser.\n<strong>Jacob : <\/strong>Je fais cela depuis 10 ans. Chaque chaussure pla\u00eet \u00e0 certains et ne pla\u00eet pas \u00e0 d'autres. La MB.01 est sans aucun doute ma chaussure la mieux re\u00e7ue.<br\/>\n<br\/>\u00a0<br\/>\n<br\/><em>Merci \u00e0 tous les deux pour cette discussion !<\/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\/fr\/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\/fr\/category\/sports\/\" class=\"secondary2\" style=\"margin-top: 17px;\">Sports<\/a>\n\t        <h4>LaMelo Ball, athl\u00e8te PUMA, rejoint le NBA All-Star Game<\/h4>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"description shortExcerpt\">\n\t\t\t\tLaMelo Ball, athl\u00e8te PUMA, \u00e9tonne les fans de basket-ball du monde entier.

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.

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. Melo gave us everything we needed for the storytelling, which definitely helped us to speed things along.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jacob: \\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;Even the \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Rick and Morty\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;-collaboration came from him.\\n\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jeff:\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\u00a0 When he said \u201cI want to do a \\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Rick and Morty shoe\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\u201d, we were like: \u201cPerfect, that\u00b4s the one\u201d.\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;How did you like working with LaMelo?\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\n\\u0026lt;br\/\\u0026gt;\\u0026lt;strong\\u0026gt;Jacob\\u0026lt;\/strong\\u0026gt;: We kept it pretty informal and have a good relationship.

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.

It`s like all the late nights with the factory on the phone and all the early mornings finally pay off. Seeing something you built in real life is still so crazy to me.

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.

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.
