Fashion label READYMADE works in collaboration with Just Don in a new collection of streetwear pieces inspired by the NBA All-Star game that took place in 1991. The collection features a cap and a pair of beige shorts that recall the game jerseys worn during the aforementioned game. Both of the pieces boast tonal details of white, red, and blue, as well as a background star motif. The colors and star design are all found on the archival basketball jerseys revived in a new perspective.
Designer Yuta Hosokawa incorporates vintage militaristic tents in its shorts design and old school US postal bags in the cap's design. Each side of the hat also sees captivating graphics and the shorts wear co-branding details across the front and rear. The hat spotlights the two brands across the front and has adjustable elements through its python leather loop enclosure at the back.
