PUMA HOOPS X VENICE BALL LEAGUE
“Venice National Park”
For the second season of Puma Hoops x VBL we sat and spoke with VBL founder Nick Ansom and asked him where he saw VBL in the next 10 years.Nick answered hopefully the league continues growing at its current pace and the community gets even stronger, however he also reinforced that he hopes with changes in global environments that the courts are just there to be hooped on.
We sat & gamplanned on how to curate a collection that broadcasts The VBL's core values of environmental consciousness. Nick emphasized that after each event hoopers always clean the courts for the next set of runs. "Protect Our Parks, get buckets, No trash allowed" became a central theme for the collection and making the Venice Beach basketball courts their own National Park.It's a reminder to ball hard, let your game do the talking and leave the court (and the planet) better than you found it. Adding in patchwork and Sashiko details set the tone to reduce, re-use + recycle your garments.
