After leaving his coveted role as Givenchy’s creative director earlier this year, Riccardo Tisci returns to his continuing collaboration with Nike. Following the monochromatic Summer Olympics-inspired line released in July, the pair came together again to design an entirely new collection in partnership with the NBA.  A basketball fan himself, Tisci decided to create his own team name– the “Victorious Minotaurs”– which is printed on various pieces in the collection to establish a cohesive team-theme throughout.  The Italian designer’s signature star symbol can be spotted with the signature colors of the NBA logo, merging the worlds of high-fashion and sportswear together.  

The NikeLab x Riccardo Tisci collection is available in North America and online on October 12.
