Balenciaga has officially teamed up with the National Basketball Association (NBA) to release a new limited-edition capsule collection. Launched on January 15, 2026, the collaboration features a range of apparel, footwear, accessories and small leather goods designed for all genders.
Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli announced the partnership, highlighting the connection between the fashion house’s philosophy and the collective spirit of basketball: “I believe sport is one of the most powerful ways to express values such as excellence, integrity, and respect,” Piccioli stated. “That shared space creates a heightened sense of connection and focus, reminding us of the discipline, commitment and intensity that define sports at its highest level”.
The collection champions sports-inspired silhouettes that maintain a focus on the body, featuring items such as t-shirts, tracksuits, varsity and coach jackets. These pieces utilise traditional fabrics like leather, nylon satin, regenerative cotton poplin and Japanese denim.
Visually, the range adopts the NBA’s primary palette of electric blue, scarlet and white, combined with Balenciaga’s synonymous black. A key detail includes the number ’10 le dix’, a reference to the Maison’s historic address on Avenue George V in Paris. The collection is available now in select stores and online.
