Franchise, the premium annual publication dedicated to all things basketball–and then some–follows up on last year’s issue with its fifth iteration. Artist Paul Pfeiffer is at the core of the new release, as the cover story allows a conversation with Flight Club co-founder Damany Weir to range from Pfeiffer’s sports-indebted creations to the duo’s cultural perspectives.

Elsewhere, Maison Kitsuné‘s Masaya Kuroki breaks down the impetus behind his label and the influence of sportswear, Matt McCormick explores ’90s basketball and the American West in his paintings, and Warren Lotas dissects his playfully revised NBA jersey designs.

The latest issue offers all that and much more; head to the Franchise website to find a stockist near you and shop the magazine when it releases shortly.

Elsewhere, more information was revealed about the forthcoming Space Jam 2.
