Unlike traditional NBA merch, the apparel comes designed with graffiti designed by the artists with a basketball twist.
Pieces in the limited-edition line include sweatshirts, jerseys and T-shirts that infuse the style of Hip-Hop with basketball athletic wear. You can expect eight of the major metropolitan cities that helped play a role in the development of Hip-Hop music and culture to be on display such as New York, New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, Detroit, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
Every team has their own T-shirt, sweatshirt and jersey, which we highlight below.
