Bodega x NBA "Worldwide Respect" Collection

With co-branded t shirts, shorts, jerseys, and snapbacks, Mitchell & Ness’s long history in the sporting goods business means a storied foundation for essential fan gear. Whether pretending you’re taking the buzzer beating game winner in the Finals during your next pickup game, or happily – and probably for the best – taking your seat on the bleachers, nothing makes you feel like a key member of the team like the crest across your chest and the colors that are now synonymous with basketball royalty.

But clothing can only take it so far. Whether hung on the wall, used out front, or strategically placed somewhere special inside your inner sanctum, our collaborative NBA rugs take us back to the golden age of basketball with classic logos over nostalgic, golden backgrounds ushering in the tinted aesthetic of the old days, where the dive would have the game on its finicky tv - allegedly. The cloud of smoke was pretty thick. Signaling the cross over into a sacred space, where certain teams and certain players shall not be mentioned by name nor stats, there is no more inviting way to draw a line in the sand, or more like, your loyalty on the basketball dry erase board, than a good ol’ fashion rug.

For many, the introduction or rather initiation to a sports team happen at an early age, when Optimus Prime’s body guard, whatever that could possibly mean, rivaled point guard for the Celtics as future career goals. With the overlap between toys and sports looming so large, what better way to memorialize the long ark of fandom while bringing childhood joy back into the conversation than a 3 on 3 match up of MEDICOM TOY BE@RBRICKS. Standing at various heights, the iconic humanoid bear design has lent itself as a billboard for countless projects and the clear versions we suited up lets you know it’s all about repping your team, and by extension your city. Truly statues without the stuffiness, these pose-able figurines may not be able to cross you up but they sure look good as a focal point or corner pocket in any room.
