June 22nd, 2020
The fusion between fashion luxury and sport could only start from an advanced league like the NBA, which formalized the partnership with Louis Vuitton last January. Taking advantage of the visibility of a global event such as the NBA Paris Game, the special travel case dedicated to the Larry O'Brien Trophy was launched and in the meantime a capsule collection scheduled for autumn and before the start of the new one has also been announced regular season. All this, before the pandemic. Virgil Abloh's creativity at the service of two brands that match their will to invade markets other than their core business.
This collaboration, however, has remained in stand-by since then and certainly the market situation and the stop of the NBA has not contributed to feed rumors on the items that will draw and take care of the artistic director of LV. In the last few hours, however, what many believe to be one of the items in the collection is circulating on the net: a necklace made of precious stones with a double pendant representing the NBA logo and the initials of the French Maison.
There is no certain information on the release date of the collection, but having had the opportunity to see one of the likely products of the lina could confirm the initial indications.
