by Stephen Garner

H&M has teamed up with American basketball player D’Angelo Russell to curate his favorite menswear pieces from the fast-fashion retailer’s spring offering.

The “Spring Essentials Selected by D’Angelo Russell” collection highlights athletic-inspired pieces and versatile wardrobe must-haves in neutral tones of camel, black, and various shades of white. Key pieces include water-resistant rust-colored anoraks, slim fit joggers, modern and minimal utility shirts, and lightweight plaid topcoats.

For this launch, D’Angelo shows off his style with a campaign and video shot in the streets of California. The camera follows D’Angelo as he gives a glimpse into his daily life and interests, whether it be shooting winning hoops at the neighborhood basketball court, flipping through records at a vintage record shop, or arriving at a basketball stadium filled with screaming fans.

“I’m honored to be able to share my personal style with fans and customers,” said Russell. “Can’t wait to see how people individually add their own take on Spring Essentials Selected By D’Angelo Russell!”

The 19-piece collection, which retails between$12.99 and $69.99, is now available on HM.com and all stores in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada carrying the men’s assortment.
