Los Angeles-based streetwear label STAMPD worked with 424 once again, but this time delivering a series of apparel honoring West Coast basketball culture. The special Spring/Summer 2018 collection looks to the sport's strong influence that took over the years, growing from a small sport to a full-on lifestyle movement concept. The capsule is comprised of basketball jerseys, t-shirts, pullover hoodies, joggers, track pants, basketball shorts and tank tops.
The inspiration's intent was to spotlight the idea of Californian aesthetics being infused into staple pieces pulled straight from the basketball court. The collaborative STAMPD and 424 range takes on a color palette of white, gray, black and red. It is now available for purchase at I.T. Jonh Kong online, and future releases will be seen at Fairfax, FourTwoFour and STAMPD Los Angeles.
