In an effort to bring back some of the athletic styles that were popularized back in the 1990s, Urban Outfitters and FILA collaborated to design an exclusive collection of basketball-inspired apparel.
To highlight some of the most unique pieces within the collection, Urban Outfitters and FILA launched an editorial to go along with it, which features a male and female model to show how versatile some of the styles are. Included in the collection are cropped hoodies, simple long-sleeved shirts, branded jerseys, graphic tees with sporty silhouettes on them, shorts, varsity jackets, track pants, and more.
In addition to the many different pieces of apparel, the Urban Outfitters and FILA collection includes sneakers and slip-on sandals for the summer.
