[PUMA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venice-beachinspired-f) and Chinatown Market work in collaboration in celebration of the NBA All-Star games that happened this past weekend in Charlotte. The collaborative capsule marks the duo's second limited apparel series and it was showcased at a pop-up on the day of the games at a [Puma Lab](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-and-porsche) by [Foot Locker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foot-locker-takeover). The collection is comprised of a broad range of graphics that are designed to replicate something that is hand-drawn.

It takes the classic aesthetic of Puma and the custom features of Chinatown Market, resulting in re-imagined graphic prints. In terms of the silhouettes, there are hoodies, tees, tote bags, and hats -- all of which boast design influences of both labels. The color palette is predominantly black and white as the foundational canvas, with purple and yellow accenting details.
