The 2022 NBA All-Star game is scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 19, 2022, in Cleveland.
NBA fans might already know that Tiffany has been a longtime collaborator of the association. Hence, for its latest collab, the brand designed the blue basketball, which is meant to be a commemorative item.
“The Tiffany Blue basketball, which was released previously, quickly became a really coveted item,” Daniel Arsham told Esquire.
This season also marks the return of Wilson as the official basketball provider for the games.

Meet Daniel Arsham, the artist behind the collab
Well-known Cleveland artist Daniel is the man behind the blue basketball. He is also the creative director of the Cavs.
Besides his work for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the artist is best known for his work “Future Relic.” It is a popular sculpture series reimagining antique objects as eroding casts created with sand, volcanic ash, or selenite.
Talking about his latest creation to Esquire, the artist said: “It has the double ‘A’ logo inside of the Tiffany graphic with a dual-brand lockup, and it commemorates the All-Star game in Cleveland.”
Fans react to Tiffany and Wilson’s new blue basketball

“And she said what about fastbreak at Tiffany’s?” one fan wrote swooning over the ball.
“I like this color,” wrote another fan.
“It makes no sense to have a bling ball but I still kinda want it,” wrote a third Twitter user.
