Nike's new basketball pouch sits on the intersection of athleisure and high-fashion, to offer consumers a unique yet practical wardrobe accessory.
The purse was designed by the New York-based designer Andrea Bergart, and is available exclusively at House of Hoops in Harlem. The purse is reminiscent of a flattened and basketball, and features Nike's swoosh, to pay homage to “The 1 Reimagined” collection. The versatile purse arrives in both small and large sizes, and can be used as a change purse or an everyday bag respectively. In addition, the bag's zipper arrives in multiple colorways, including purple, green or blue, adding a touch spring-ready pop of color to an otherwise sporty bag.
