LV x NBA: Luxury and Basketball

Cover---LV-x-NBA

For a second year, the partnership between the Maison Louis Vuitton and the professional basketball league (NBA) explores collective memories of the two cultural institutions around the time of 1990’s basketball mania, the golden age of the sports where we saw the greatest stars like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Earvin « Magic » Johnson at their peak. Men’s Artistic Director Virgil Abloh fuses the trademarks of both Louis Vuitton and the NBA in a transversal celebration of pop culture, fashion and sports Discover LV x NBA

Following the LV x NBA (Louis Vuitton x NBA) line’s original premise, the second collection proposes a complete wardrobe reflected in the idea of the three dress modes of a basketball player: travel, game, and press conference.
