Spalding Announces 'Stranger Things' Basketball Collab
There’s a ball to get you through every iconic Hawkins location.
Spalding, the legendary sports equipment brand will be releasing an exclusive collaboration with Stranger Things, one of the most popular Netflix shows to date. All modeled on Spalding’s size 7 basketballs, the collaboration comprises four different designs aptly named Fireball, Hawkins, and Greetings along with a Top-Flite 100 edition.
Fireball draws inspiration from The Hellfire Club and also the aesthetic of D&D dice. Exuding rock n’ roll flair, it’s decked with flaming basketball motifs as well as custom “Fireball Him!” lettering. Hawkins, on the other hand, derives its design from the Hawkins High Basketball Team “The Tigers,” and is doused in the team’s signature yellow and green, complete with tiger motifs. While, Greetings will take its users outside of Hawkins, and all the way to SoCal. Boasting Cali floral patterns over a black base on one side, the other side of the ball features “Upside Down” lettering in an ‘80s surf-style graphic and font. The Top-Flite 100 Indoor Game Basketball is the literal real-life version of the one used by The Tigers and is made to Spalding’s specifications from their 1986 model.
Fireball, Greetings, and Hawkins are retailed for $40 USD, while the Top-Flite 100 edition is priced at $150 USD. There are also three additional limited edition styles that can only be won on Spalding’s website giveaway. For more information, head to the Spalding official website.
