Ballerific Fashion: Balenciaga Unveils New Basketball Line with a $2,190 Jersey

Balenciaga is known for pushing boundaries, no matter how odd some of the looks are. In its latest collection, the luxury fashion house is introducing a line of basketball clothing for anyone looking to get fly while practicing their free throws. 

Following their basketball sneaker, which was unveiled in September 2024, Balenciaga has now rolled out an entire line dedicated to the sport. The jersey, which is listed on the website as the Men’s Basketball Series – Tank Top, is all black trimmed in white. This viscose jacquard sport knit shirt sports the number 01 on the back, with “Balenciaga 01” scrolled on the front. To own this unique piece of athletic wear, it’ll cost you $2,190.

The jersey isn’t the only icon in this line. The coordinated jacquard knit shorts to go along with the Tank Top are the perfect way to complete the look, though be prepared to fork over another $2,190.  However, the crown jewel of this collection is surely the Men’s Basketball Series – Bomber. This cowskin jacket goes for $9,090, though its semi-shiny finish is worth every penny. 

For Balenciaga fans who want to support this collection, but aren’t looking to break the bank, the least expensive piece is the Men’s Basketball Series – Cap, which is only $475 and also sports the signature 01.
