Take A Closer Look At Louis Vuitton x NBA's 'Ball In Basket' Bag

Last month, Louis Vuitton unveiled their collaborative capsule collection with the National Basketball Association (NBA) for Pre-Fall 2021 season. Perhaps the biggest slam dunk of the collection being the ‘Ball in Basket’ bag. 

The bag is made from full-grain brown leather debossed with Louis Vuitton’s classic monogram. And in true Louis Vuitton style, the bag is embellished with mellow gold hardware. NBA’s famous red, white and blue logo plays center position in its striking placement on the front of the bag, making a second appearance in white on the strap. Inside, the bag features the internal LV lining and luggage tag. The ‘Ball in Basket’ bag can be carried as it is or placed in the detachable basketball net. 

The structure of the bag and its basketball form is so unique that for both basketball and LV fans, the ‘Ball in Basket’ bag is an unmissable collectable. The collection imitates the wardrobe of a basketball player on three different occasions: travel, game, and press conference. The bag encompasses Abloh’s style as a designer. It is forward-thinking and unique but always wearable. This Louis Vuitton triumph showcases what is possible when two very different industries collide, the pre-fall 2021 collaboration is the best of sport and fashion’s intersection. 

The ‘Ball in Basket’ bag is now available via Louis Vuitton’s Hong Kong web store and retails for $34,500 HKD (which is approximately $4,450 USD). Virgil Abloh continues to push boundaries and surprise the fashion world. Who knew a basketball handbag would be so desirable?
