If there is a generational movie for those who are now between 30 and 40 years old and love basketball, that movie is Space Jam. Twenty-five years ago, the movie starring Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny came out and in some ways revolutionized cinema at the time and literally blew everyone’s minds.
A sequel, Space Jam: A New Legacy, is scheduled for release in September and this time the protagonist, in addition to the Looney Tunes, is LeBron James, the fresh number 6 of the Los Angeles Lakers – he changed his 23 to return to the 6 worn in past seasons by the Miami Heat.
Octopus Brand unveiled the collection in collaboration with the film coming out in September that includes Cuban Shirt, Bucket Hat, knitwear, sweatshirts and t-shirts featuring graphics dedicated to the Tune Squad, plus a Stadium Jacket with leather sleeves, embroidery and terry patches.
On June 17th there was a pre-release exclusively for One Block Down while from today will be available at selected retailers: Bottega Backdoor in Bologna, Sneaker76 in Taranto and Black Box in Naples.
The items in the “Space Jam: A New Legacy” drop were produced in limited editions, sweatshirts and t-shirts are mass-produced from less than 100 pieces, sweaters and jackets instead in less than 50.
The entire Octpopus x Space Jam: A New Legacy collection is also available on the brand’s online shop starting today.
