This season, Canada Goose and the NBA bring Salehe Bembury on board, creating a collection inspired by the freedom of ‘90s NBA.
As part of their multi-year partnership, Canada Goose and the NBA tap into coveted footwear designer Salehe Bembury, creating a collection inspired by the freedom associated with ‘90s NBA styling: boldness, functionality and limitlessness. Salehe Bembury’s penchant for the avant-garde is brought to the forefront of the collection, fused with Canada Goose’s cutting-edge approach to performance outerwear.
The result is a four-piece capsule that embodies the freedom of the NBA during the 1990s, celebrating the juxtaposition of style without rules. Four of the outerwear label’s iconic styles are cast through Bembury’s experimental lens, with a heavy emphasis placed on layering and contrasting materials.
The Expedition Parka, originally designed to provide protection to scientists working in extreme weather conditions, is transformed with an exaggerated chenille trim at the hood, as well as a removable vest to further the progressive look. Showcasing a fusion of bold style and functionality, the Kelowna Boreal jacket is cut from insulating high-pile fleece and covered in Bembury’s signature fingerprint pattern, while the Signal vest is cut with an exaggerated front hem to provide additional protection and coverage. Canada Goose’s Tundra Bib — a legacy piece designed to provide lower-body warmth — is transformed with onion quilting to further the capsule’s layering possibilities. To complete the collaborative look, each piece is detailed with collection-specific logos, with a tonal Arctic Program disc and co-branded patches.
