About the Collection
Head of Brand communications for Spalding, Matt Day said, “Jada and Dior exemplify the style, passion, and dedication to excellence this collection is about.” Those are just some of the athletes that helped to inspire the pieces.
During a press release Jason Kanter, CEO and Co-founder of UNKWN said,
“This collection was inspired by gameday looks and how athletes and sports have evolved over the years, especially with the help of a company like Spalding. We’ve witnessed a shift across all leagues and levels for players to feel empowered, and even encouraged, to incorporate personal styling into how they look showing up to their games, off the court, and in the gym. Our goal was to create a collection that supports these moments.”
