Pigalle's New Basketball Court in Paris
23 Jan 2020, 12:00
Becoming somewhat of a tradition at this point, Pigalle and Nike have given their Paris basketball yet another makeover. The recent change of colour ties in with Pigalle most recent collaboration with Converse that releases this Saturday in Cape Town.
Sandwiched between residential buildings in the heart of Paris, the updated court has been given a fresh mural makeover with a saturated mix of bold tones and soft pastels, washing the sidelines, baskets and entire space with the colourful hues.
Created in collaboration with Ill-Studio, the court is made completely of recycled materials that were generated by Nike’s sustainable Grind initiative. Shades of blue, peach, purple and green come together across the platform, painting bright markers to set the backdrop for a vivid gametime backdrop.
“Our court in Paris birthed a community,” said Pigalle founder Stéphane Ashpool in a previous statement regarding his partnership with Nike. “We transformed a parking lot into a place that has fostered a family and inspired people. All the subtle details that can make this magic happen were united.”
Paris is seen as the first art/basket court in the Pigalle chain, with one in Beijing and New Mexico following in recent years.
