Ball’s Puma sneakers are anything but conventional shoes. If the Demogorgon actually wore sneakers, it might actually rock a pair of these. Let’s talk sneakers.

To say each pair has a distinct look is a major understatement. The bright red is the one that really stands out as the most colorful of the trio. It’s the biggest lifestyle addition in the pack. The RNR is the most understated pair. It has some hiking inspiration with a hologram patch.
Each pair ships in special packaging with Demogorgon artwork and the phrase “Not From Here,” per House of Heat. The release follows the series finale, which streamed on Netflix on Dec. 31, 2025.

The MB.06 is Ball’s sixth signature basketball shoe with Puma. Tooth-like edges wrap the sidewalls, and a co-branded stamp shows the Puma cat inside the Demogorgon’s mouth. House of Heat users rate it at 83 degrees.
The actual basketball sneaker could get some serious run if it’s comfortable and carries its weight as a performance shoe.
