J Balvin unveils a special Grillz collaboration by joining Ian Delucca to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic television series Spongebob Squarepants. The musical artist works with the Los Angeles-baed designer on a set of grillz that nod to the show's characters.

It is made from an impressive 14-karat yellow gold before detailed with a pattern that was created by artist Louis De Guzman. The bottom and top components of the grillz come together to capture the playful energy of the character. This unconventional collaborative project is complete with a silver toothbrush to match and a RIMOWA hand-luggage case that has been custom-made for this purpose. The case features bright accents that feature branding of everyone involved.
