The 2023 Nike World Basketball Festival will serve as the culmination of this summer’s VS tournaments that occurred in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City and Toronto. But more than just a showcase of the best young talent, the 2023 Nike World Basketball Festival is a celebration of the cultural influence that only basketball has.
Hosted at Lincoln Center, an iconic location for movement and cultural expression, the festival will bring the best of basketball home to New York City, the epicenter of the game’s cultural legacy.
Embedded in Nike’s legacy across apparel, lifestyle and performance, a series of installations in adjoining Damrosch Park will showcase how the game has influenced innovation and design for decades. Classic era-defining silhouettes and other artifacts from the Nike archives will be showcased to highlight key moments in Nike Basketball. The installation is also accompanied by a first look at Nike Basketball’s upcoming holiday collection, on display here.
Check out a round-up of the silhouettes that will release Holiday 2023.
