In the past couple years streetwear has expanded beyond the wardrobe and encapsulates more than just the clothes you wear. Streetwear has been adopted as a lifestyle. In the music one listens to, the places you visit, the art you admire, and surround yourself with.
Culture creators, art fans and hypebeasts have taken the flex game beyond sneakers and tees. Brands like Stussy, The Hundreds and Chinatown Market Clothing, Supreme and Bape have gone beyond the realms of just tshirts and hoodies. Their offerings include collectibles. Some functional, some decorative and some purely for a laugh.
Chinatown Market Clothing has done it all- from rugs to candles to footballs to planters to basketball. The LA based streetwear brand has always been known for their bootlegged, funk and bright coloured graphics tees, hoodies and sweatpants.
The same vibe and energy extends itself to their collectibles as well. The Chinatown Smiley basketballs are a favourite among streetwear enthusiasts and Hypebeasts.
They come in standard basketball size so they are perfect to play with on the court. However what makes them special and unique are the prints and the collaborations. Capsul has a wide range of Chinatown Market basketballs that make for interesting decor and conversation starters.
Some of the standout pieces are the Chinatown Market Heat Map Basketball, a part of the Heat Map collection that features a print of the world map in thermal heat colours on tshirts, bucket hat and rug. Another must have is the Chinatown Market x Grateful Dead Basketball that features the famous psychedelic Rock band’s skulls and roses artwork.
Apart from these Chinatown Market Clothing has the reflective iridescent ball and UV activated ball. Like a piece of modern art, these basketball make for great wall decorations. A popular way of
displaying these BBalls is by turning them into cool planters.
