Electric Static Ball Caps

This Line of Mitchell & Ness Uses Faux Suede and Static-Like Materials

— September 12, 2015 — Lifestyle
Mitchell & Ness created this unique line of electric static-inspired snapback hats that feature logos from the National Basketball Association. Each hat is adorned with an embroidered black and white logo.

The hats are made using an electric static-like material that resembles a fuzzy television screen. In addition to the static collection, the brand has also created a faux suede line of caps as well. This collection uses a tan-colored fabric and is adorned with gold and brown NBA logos. Both the Static collection and suede Boot Hook collection are created with durably sturdy brims and easily adjustable snaps located at the back.

These creative styles bring a fresh approach to the popular snapback hats. Both of the Mitchell & Ness collections are currently available for consumer purchasing at Foot Locker retail shops.
