One of the best projects I had while working at Converse was working on the hyper-local NBA Legends pack. I was the materials designer for this pack; credit is due to the entire team who worked on this pack, it turned out great and all the details and execution were truly a team effort.

Boston Celtics

This pack asked for rich and boxy cigar leather and a tweed lining harkening back to the winningest coach in Celtics History, Red Auerbach. “Touch For Luck” is a local detail; a brass clover plaque hanging in the Garden, polished with the touch of thousands of fans.

Chicago Bulls

The Windy City, the greatest dynasty in NBA history, the Triangle Offense. There we’re so many motifs to pick from and through materials and details each shines through. Thinsulate warmth insulation to protect against the “Windy City." 210D split-pattern woven on the tongue nods to the 90’s era Bull’s jerseys. A triangle motif runs the length of the heel, referencing the famous Triangle Offense.

New York Knicks

Once a Knick, always a Knick. Like New York, the materials for this pack wanted to be sleek, unique, and full of details past the first glance. A triple-black color way in rich leather with a snakeskin emboss dominates the look.
