UNKNWN, a fashion label founded by NBA superstar Lebron James, has once again teamed up with Spalding to deliver a limited-edition basketball. The new offering arrives as a follow up to the two brands previous collaboration, which consisted of an expansive Fall/Winter 2021 apparel collection.
The new specialty basketball was designed for both outdoor surfaces and indoor courts. In addition, it features a unique color scheme and visual design. The ball's cover consists of brown and dark green hues and comes printed with a repetitive Spalding logo pattern. These elements align with the apparel collection that the two brands dropped last November.
The UNKNWN x Spalding limited edition basketball is currently available to purchase UNKNWN and Spalding's websites, as well select physical UNKNWN locations.
