For its latest collaboration, Converse has tapped streetwear mainstay Chinatown Market to honor the Los Angels Lakers and the Chicago Bulls.

Just like the name suggests, the forthcoming Chinatown Market x Converse “NBA Championship Jacket” collection features footwear inspired by Jeff Hamilton’s Championship Jackets, worn by Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, respectively. The four-piece range includes two takes on both Converse’s Pro Leather and Chuck 70, with one of each spotlighting the Lakers and Bulls.

First up, the Chinatown Market x Converse Pro Leather “Lakers Championship Jacket” gets a purple-heavy outfit that’s paired with contrasting gold laces and overlays. Palm trees embellish the rear while along with the LA skyline. Finally embroidered into the toe caps are “20” and “02.” For the Bulls iteration, burgundy red leather acts as the base, which is then elevated with Chicago’s cityscape and Bulls’ insignias. Special details like “3-in-a-row” and “Champions 1998” are spotlighted on the lateral and medal panels.

Things get toned down slightly for the Chinatown Market x Converse Pro Leather “Bulls Championship Jacket” and Chinatown Market x Converse Chuck 70 “Bulls Championship Jacket”. The former replicates the Windy City with a mix of black and red, while the latter spotlights LA’s skyline in light blue and black.

The Chinatown Market x Converse “NBA Championship Jacket” collection is set to release globally on March 12. Find the pairs at ChinatownMarket.com and Converse.com.
