The Marty Supreme sports balls collection includes items such as a basketball, football, soccer ball, baseball, golf balls, tennis balls, and a frisbee, each finished in the same bold orange color and stamped with the film’s “Dream Big” slogan. Each piece functions as a standard sports item while doubling as film merchandise tied to the marketing campaign for Marty Supreme, the Josh Safdie-directed sports drama starring Timothée Chalamet. The color references a key moment in the story where the protagonist promotes an orange ping-pong ball as a more visible and distinctive alternative during matches. The merchandise continues A24’s practice of extending [film branding into collectible objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightup-delorean-popcorn) and lifestyle products connected to the movie’s visual identity.
