This six-piece collection encompasses vintage-inspired designs with historical graphics and authentic logos maintained by the Foundation. Banner graphics showcase Black Fives teams along with cities they played in across the U.S. from Los Angeles to New York.

Items include a multi-coloured Hoodie (R1 499) and Sweatpants (R1 299), Shorts R1 499), Tee (R699), Long Sleeve Tee (R799), and a black Suede Mid (R1 999), which includes a pop of colour on the sole and team logos on the formstrip.
