Balenciaga and NBA will release a limited-edition capsule in January 2026

Jakarta, Thekabarnews.com—The National Basketball Association (NBA) and luxury fashion brand Balenciaga have officially announced their latest high-profile cooperation. 

The two companies have released a limited-edition capsule collection called BALENCIAGA | NBA. The collection combines Balenciaga’s unique design style with the fast-paced energy and team spirit of professional basketball.

Pierpaolo Piccioli, the creative director of Balenciaga, noted that sports are a wonderful way to share common ideals.

“Sport is one of the best ways to teach people about values like honesty, greatness, and respect. On the court or in the arena, people from all walks of life, ethnicities, and skill levels adhere to the same rules and share the same goals. That shared environment builds emotional attachments, discipline, devotion, and intensity—qualities that define sport at its best level,” Piccioli said in an official statement.

The global launch will happen on January 15, 2026

The BALENCIAGA | NBA capsule collection will be available around the world on January 15, 2026. You can only get it at certain Balenciaga stores and on the brand’s official website, Balenciaga.com.

The collection was made in a limited number of copies. It contains ready-to-wear clothes, shoes, accessories, and tiny leather products for people of all genders. This means there is something for everyone.

The NBA is the world’s best professional basketball league. It has exceptional players and is a big part of pop culture around the world. This partnership shows off Balenciaga’s famous ready-to-wear shapes. These shapes are known for their sporty looks, big sizes, and concentration on comfort—key features of the Maison’s modern design style.

The cooperation is in line with Balenciaga’s history of working with significant cultural institutions. It does so in surprising ways that go beyond fashion.

Collection highlights and high-quality materials

The BALENCIAGA | NBA collection has designs that are inspired by basketball but still have the Maison’s unique look. Short- and long-sleeve T-shirts, tracksuits, varsity jackets, and coach jackets are some of the most important things.

The collection uses leather, nylon satin, regenerated cotton poplin, and Japanese denim. This shows Balenciaga’s dedication to quality and modern luxury. The number 10 (le dix) is on each piece. This number is a nod to Balenciaga’s old address at Avenue George V in Paris.

The collection features a color palette inspired by the NBA logo

The main colors in the collection—electric blue, crimson red, and white—are based on the famous NBA logo that came out in 1969. These colors go well with black, which has always been a part of Balenciaga’s style.

The NBA emblem fits in perfectly with Balenciaga’s branding and trademark font throughout the collection. This shows a sophisticated blend of high-end fashion and sports culture.

The BALENCIAGA | NBA partnership is likely to get a lot of attention from both fashion lovers and basketball fans all over the world. As a result, this will strengthen Balenciaga’s place at the crossroads of luxury, sport, and modern culture.
