Prada has influenced the fashion industry for over 100 years and the brand is synonymous with luxury goods. Prada has just dropped its Prada Basketball, boasting a black and white design. The Prada Basketball features the white Prada signature inverted triangular printed logo and white detailing. Collectors can get the Prada Basketball with black or red rubber. This collector’s basketball comes with a black harness carrier made with Prada’s luxury nylon webbed fabric. Its straps have black Saffiano leather detailing, the white Prada printed logo, and a stainless steel, side release Prada-branded buckle.
Mario Prada formed the House of Prada in 1913, opening the first store in Milan to sell travel accessories, trunks, steamers, and other leather products. The Prada logo is an ode to the Italian aristocracy. And today, Prada is a household name, and this Prada Basketball is one example of Prada’s sports and leisure line. For example, the Italian fashion designer has collaborated with adidas on a shoe and bowling bag line, among others. While the Prada Basketball is functional, it is really more of a collector’s item for fans of the game and luxury collectibles from well-known designers.
