STORY: In collaboration with Round21 and The Gist, Artist Fiorella introduces a unique fusion of sports and art: the "Petalball" basketball is adorned with bold, vibrant flowers inspired by the artist's belief that basketball is not just a game, but a canvas for creativity and self-expression. Each flower represents the unique game of every player, celebrating their distinctiveness and contribution to the game.

Her hope is that this FreeStyle drop reminds us all of the power of art and athletics to unite and inspire.
