Louis Vuitton & The NBA Continue With A Luggage Release

With summer days ahead, we’ve got our eyes peeled on all of the latest summer collections , swimwear releases and newest travel accessories. Although traveling is not seasonal, summertime fun tends to include more traveling plans than usual. To offer a stylish way to explore and to continue the brand’s partnership with the NBA, which was launched by Virgil Abloh in 2020, Louis Vuitton unveils a new luggage collection.  

The third drop continues to celebrate the values of basketball that were cherished by Abloh and his love for intertwining fashion with other worlds he held passion for. In the collection, Louis Vuitton oversized and mini trunks are co-branded with a merged logo and designed in classic NBA colors. 

LV duffels, backpacks and compact bags are also worked into the sporty travel collection. The meticulous details marry the NBA’s visual identity with Louis Vuitton’s by utilizing basketball nets and gold chains — a nod to the NBA trophy — in the design. Abloh’s genius is present in the final product that captures the essence of basketball with the iconic range of LV luggage. 

In addition to the commercial collection, Louis Vuitton also created an official travel trunk for the NBA’s Larry O’Brien Trophy, the pinnacle of basketball achievement. The exterior features the LV Monogram with heavyweight brass closures and the interior is lined with soft microfibre and stamped with the NBA’s 75th Anniversary logo.

Louis Vuitton and the NBA have a capsule just in time for the Finals

Leather accessories for the rich and team-agnostic basketball fan.

After missing the mark on its first NBA collection in 2020, Louis Vuitton has slowly gotten the hang of what basketball style should look like. The French house is collaborating with the basketball league for its third chapter, creating a small series of luxury bags and leather goods. The collection includes a backpack, keep-all travel bag, wallet, and small duffle bag all appearing in matching bright blue leather with bold branding.

What’s in store — The duffle bag sports plenty of nods to the NBA, including the league’s logo on the zipper and a red, branded basketball at the center. Black hang tags add some embellishment, and white hoop netting appears at the bag’s sides. A similar makeup constructs the backpack, which features the same cobalt blue, monogrammed leather, NBA logo, and branded basketball. It’s secured with black straps and gold hardware and features more storage in the side pockets.

A bi-fold wallet also follows the design pattern, and the accessories are rounded out by a zippered travel pouch. A gold chain adds flair to the travel bag, and a smaller NBA logo is fitted at the bottom. Like in previous years, the French fashion house has also created a fresh “Official Travel Trunk” that bears space for the Larry O’Brien Trophy, which was redesigned by Tiffany & Co. The trunk is secured with folding doors, and details include a hand-painted “V” for victory along with the same LV basketball motif.

Third time’s the charm — The accessories mark the third collection between Louis Vuitton and the NBA, a multi-year partnership that was launched with Virgil Abloh in 2020. Louis Vuitton has become known for adding its luxurious appeal to its NBA collabs — including a mini basketball hoop and another extravagant trophy case — but aside from the official capsules, the label has also added its touch to other basketball-themed items for the superfans.

Prices for the capsule fall in line with the label’s high pricing, with the wallet coming in at $650, the travel bag at $1,700, the Keep-All at $4,300, and the backpack at $4,600. You can shop the Louis Vuitton x NBA accessory collection starting Thursday, June 2, on LV’s website — the very same day the Finals matchup begins with the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics.

Take A Look At the Louis Vuitton x NBA Capsule Collection II

The latest installment in their three-year creative partnership..

Louis Vuitton first announced a three-year creative partnership with the National Basketball Association (NBA) back in January 2020, and since then, the duo have produced a bespoke Trophy Travel Case , a double-door wardrobe trunk stamped with dual iconography, and a debut capsule collection comprised of limited-edition clothing, leather goods, accessories and shoes, each of which exist at the intersection of French craftsmanship and American sports. Today, the French fashion house has announced the next installment to the genre-crossing partnership: the Louis Vuitton x NBA Capsule Collection II.

With lead creative Virgil Abloh ‘s forward-thinking design codes at its core, the Pre-Fall 2021 basketball-backed range widens the scale of the ongoing partnership with an exploration of ’90s court-side mania through the Maison’s high fashion lens. In line with the initial LV x NBA capsule, the second range imitates the wardrobe of a professional basketball player in three dress modes: travel, game, and press conference.

LV x NBA: Luxury and Basketball

For a second year, the partnership between the Maison Louis Vuitton and the professional basketball league (NBA) explores collective memories of the two cultural institutions around the time of 1990’s basketball mania, the golden age of the sports where we saw the greatest stars like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Earvin « Magic » Johnson at their peak. Men’s Artistic Director Virgil Abloh fuses the trademarks of both Louis Vuitton and the NBA in a transversal celebration of pop culture, fashion and sports Discover LV x NBA

L’origine de la collection

The collection celebrates the unifying and inclusive moments of the game and its diverse characters while reflecting the values of familiarity and relatability key to Virgil Abloh’s work at Louis Vuitton.

Following the LV x NBA (Louis Vuitton x NBA) line’s original premise, the second collection proposes a complete wardrobe reflected in the idea of the three dress modes of a basketball player: travel, game, and press conference.

Now the bags, because Louis Vuitton is one of the classics in terms of travel bags and trunks, which you will see below.

The bags, featuring basketball-net detailing and NBA insignia from the initial season, expand into new forms, while a new line of leather goods have been crafted with a grain that imitates classic basketball material. Speaking of the balls, you will see more just below.

LV x NBA: Trophy case & Basketballs

For the second year in a row, the Larry O’Brien Trophy, made by Tiffany & Co. a property of the LVMH group also, will once again be awarded to the 2021 NBA Finals Champions in a bespoke Louis Vuitton Travel Case.

New this year are Louis Vuitton’s first-ever basketballs, available in both a life-size version as well as a small-scale collector’s item with a trunk-inspired hoop. Designed by Virgil Abloh, the limited-edition balls were produced by the official NBA game ball supplier Wilson Sporting Goods Co. in line with the authentic savoir-faire principles of Louis Vuitton.
