Fashion house Balenciaga shines a spotlight on its new Basketball Series collection which is filled with apparel that is ready for the courts. Earlier, the fashion house joined Under Armor in a sporty range and this follows a similar path. The athletic capsule is comprised of matching jacquard sporty knit jerseys and shorts.
Another notable item is the Techno poplin tracksuit jackets that are decorated in the luxury brand's moniker over the number '01.' This same detail continues to the long-sleeved tops and t-shirts in a slew of colors including black, white, blue, and purple. The caps are designed with the house's name and number marked at the brim as items such as shorts, baggy sweatpants, and shiny bombers round out the capsule.
