Black Marble Basketball Courts

Alexander Wang X Adidas Originals Created a Marble Basketball Court

— February 21, 2018 — Autos
Alexander Wang's recent Instagram post revealed an unconventional project -- a black marble basketball court that was made in collaboration with Alexander Wang X adidas Originals.

The photo was accompanied by a caption that read “When adidas builds you a marble court in downtown LA #adidasoriginalsxAW.” The designer court was constructed for the brand's NBA All-Star Weekend 747 Warehouse St. event and is surrounded by black iron fencing to match the chic but Gothic facade of the court. To top off the entire design, the black marble basketball court has been stamped with adidas' trefoil logo, underneath Wang's text font logo. The logo also appears on the court's tonal backboards.
