SPALDING X DIET STARTS MONDAY CAPSULE COLLECTION

by John Russel Jones

Sports equipment and apparel brand Spalding is collaborating with streetwear brand Diet Starts Monday. The two-piece capsule collection, inspired by DSM Founder Davin Gentry’s high school basketball days, features iconic mid-1990s style. The set includes the Post-Game crewneck French terry sweatshirt with an on-trend chenille logo on the chest. Coordinating shorts feature tonal embroidery, a vintage-look contrast waistband, and back pockets.

Spalding, which has been in business since 1876 (the company developed the first first baseball to become the official ball of both the National and American Leagues) is part of Russell Brands. Diet Starts Monday is a graphics-driven, unisex streetwear brand founded by Gentry, a graphic artist and former basketball player.
