Animalistic B-Ball Equipment

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Leopard Print Spalding Basketball is Made for Fashionable Dudes

— September 26, 2012 — Lifestyle
The Leopard Print Spalding Basketball is made for the flashy b-ball player who likes to dominate on the court as much as he (or she) likes to dominate in the fashion sphere. While some people might ridicule this basketball as a gimmicky creation not fit for the serious baller, others will recognize its animalistic nature and perhaps be more wary of the person playing with it.

Created by Tokyo-based streetwear brand XLARGE in collaboration with retailer A-1 STORE, the Leopard Print Spalding Basketball is part of a small limited edition capsule creation. Featuring a number of dual-branded products, the collection will include a mini-basketball and small bag for shoes in addition to the Leopard Print Spalding Basketball. Available in the upcoming weeks at the A-1 STORE's online shop, these items will be snatched up immediately.
