Levi’s NBA Collection Means Actually Looking Cool While Repping Your Team

Trash the foam finger and body paint for a denim jacket.

Heritage jean brand Levi’s is giving grown men a chance to evolve their fan pride with sports-inspired apparel that looks mature and cool. The brand first dipped its toes into the sports world with an NFL Collection of clothing that mixed team pride with everyday clothing that straight-up looked stylish and felt like quality apparel (not those cheap jersey shirts sold at stadiums).

As radical as this was, it left NBA fans with nada.

… Until now.

Levi’s launched its first-ever Levi’s NBA Collection for five teams: the Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. If your favorite team isn’t on this list, don’t worry. Levi’s did a similar roll out with its NFL Collection, starting small and then expanding to every team in the league.

The NBA Collection was designed for the fan looking to express their personal style, without sacrificing team spirit— making use of iconic Levi’s silhouettes and pops of team branding.

Anchored by a sweet Trucker Jacket, the full NBA Collection ranges from $78-$400, and features vintage cues like chain stitching and basketball-inspired leather patches.

Alongside the Trucker Jacket is a classic crewneck piece that has team chenille applique, a nylon Club Coat with team prints, a western shirt with team logo and colors, and a leather Sherpa that puts a vogue twist on today’s NBA team logos.

Levi’s is selling the collection only at its online store, and brick-and-mortar retailers Undefeated, RSVP Gallery, Concepts, and Bosk.

Working with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team, Adidas launched the Silver Arrow pack, a collection of fanwear inspired by the Mercedes-Benz W196 race car. Current Mercedes F1 drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli posed with items from the Silver Arrow collection along with professional models.
Why celebrate the W196?

The W196 wasn't the first Silver Arrow. The first Mercedes to be called a Silver Arrow was the Mercedes W25, which debuted in 1934. However, driver Juan Fangio won the 1954 and 1955 F1 World Championships with the W196, which was among the several models referred to by the group name. The Adidas Silver Arrow collection celebrates the 70th anniversary of the W196's first F1 Championship season.

Salomon releases new collaborative sneaker

When it comes to a trail sneaker, you’ll want to ensure it is both functional and stylish. While a chic sneaker comes in handy for everyday use, a trail-ready sneaker should be able to keep you comfortable on any adventure. While Salomon knows how to fuse both successfully, their latest collaboration with South Korean designer J EONGL I adds another level of style and practicality to it. Inspired by the passage of time, this new collaboration comes in two colorways that perfectly capture the inspiration of eroded cliffs and fossils. Both monochromatic versions feature a sculptural style and footwear technology that’ll catch anyone’s attention on the trails or city streets.
