Paris’ beloved independent menswear brand Pigalle Paris, have created a local basketball court for public use in their neighbourhood. The Pigalle Duperré basketball court is found on an irregular-shaped site amongst a row buildings in the 9th arrondissement. Created in partnership with Nike, Pigalle enlisted local design studio (and ongoing collaborator) Ill Studio, to transform the space. Recently updated with a new curation of vibrant colours since the original build, the court finds itself embedded and integral for the local community.
