EDO BALL — JERSEY ART
江戸球
In 2020 I started a new personal project for Edo Ball by creating a series of basketball jerseys inspired by players and their legacy. This really was a passion project to see how far I could take the storytelling of Edo Ball by incorporating it into a new medium as a garment.
Each jersey started from a sketch and is built from the ground up with custom fabric, detailing and artwork.
SHOGUN JAMES — 2020
1 OF 1 ART EDITION JERSEY
The Shōgun held absolute power throughout Japan for hundreds of years, with dominance comparable to that of a king. The Shogunate in Japan ended in 1868, but a new Shogunate began in the NBA in 2003 with the rise of Lebron James.
Shōgun James has continually been the most powerful force within the association, dominating in the course of his long and fruitful career, proving year after year that there is still no general in the league who can take his place on the throne.
DENNIS RONIN — 2020
1 OF 1 ART EDITION JERSEY
Possessed by passion and dedication in his belly, Dennis was a true Rōnin of the game. Rōnin were samurai without a master who drifted within society. Dennis embodied the fight of the greatest samurai’s before him but forged the way for a new generation of players.
Samurai traditionally carried two swords but The Worm was unique. His weapon of choice, the nunchaku, represented his personality and different approach to the game perfectly.

Dennis Rōnin created a new type of warrior within the game, a warrior who didn’t impact the game in the traditional manner of scoring but with effort and intensity. His iconic defensive tactics and pursuit of the boards made him one of the most iconic Rōnin’s in history.
MT MUTOMBO — 2020
1 OF 1 ART EDITION JERSEY
Standing at 3,289 blocks tall, Mt. Mutombo is one of the toughest climbs in the association. Only a handful have ever reached the summit and many expeditions have been turned back at Finger Wag base camp.
