My Top 10 NBA Design Moments (Part 2 of 2)

As I was making this list and watching Michael Jordan on NBC last night I remembered how different watching basketball was before Inentered the industry.
I used to tape games on VHS and pause the screen to see what shoes and uniforms players were wearing. I know now all this is scripted and well publicized online,but I hope kids like me are still hunting and being surprised and inspired by things I make or have made in the past.

This list is To Be Continued and ever evolving. I have some amazing projects with the NBA coming over the next couple of years. Keep you’re eyes open for your boy!

Trophy Hunting x Golden State Valkyries Collaboration

Valkyries x Trophy Hunting®

In the latest Trophy Hunting News, we recently released a 8 pc capsule of apparel and hats for the Golden State Valkyries. Since it’s their first season, we were super hyped to be given the opportunity to carry our imprint on Bay Area sports. Especially for me. 

““My connection and upbringing in
the Bay Area was utilized in making sure that we equally represented the team’s dual home cities of Oakland and San Francisco. We infused that Bay Area heritage first, and then grounded the collection with the Trophy Hunting aesthetic.””

— DUSTIN O. CANALIN

 We wanted the Valkyries capsule to capture the energy of a new team while staying true to the Bay, pulling from Trophy Hunting’s common themes of  varsity heritage. 

Kari Cruz and I built this collection under Trophy Hunting® to feel timeless and aspirational. We pulled in Oakland’s  flower the Chrysanthemum as a nod to the Town. 

The response was amazing. Everything sold out quickly. Seeing it sell out instantly and hearing from so many people about how much they connected with it is truly the best part of design. Look for more from us and the Valkyries. Go Valks!
