Parquet Leather

Basketball is one of America’s greatest gifts. It’s a sport, but it’s a culture tied in with music and fashion. B-ball changes over time reflecting the world it is part of. The odd history of hanging peach baskets in a gymnasium seems distant from the global phenomenon it has become. What does the journey of basketball smell like? What ties together how it has evolved? The leather ball, the sneakers, the rubber, & the wood of parquet floors.
