THIS OFFICIAL BORED APE YACHT CLUB BASKETBALL DROP IS OVER. 

Ape Got Game.

Introducing the official BAYC x round21 basketball. 

STORY:

We see our Bored Ape and Club Dog communities coming together in real life and online and wanted to create something special for everyone to continue those connections. Sports is something we all share in globally, and coming off an NBA season unlike any other, the Tokyo Games, and 3 x 3 pick up games happening around the world this summer, we felt like a limited edition BAYC x round21 basketball fit perfectly.

THE ART:

Designed specifically for this new release and the community, the BAYC artwork on this ball includes a special panel featuring a Bored Ape and Club Dog companion sitting on a dock taking in the sunset, along with the authenticity in sport from round21. 

THE PARTNERSHIP:

BAYC and round21 have come together to continue unlocking personal identity, connection and community - now through sports.  round21 has been part of the Ape community since Day 1 and, as a brand, lives at the intersection of Art x Sport. round21 is also leading the way for Artists & Athletes to unlock self-expression within this emerging space.  Now together with BAYC, we're the first to bring this new digi-fizzy (digital-physical) sports space to life.
