Adidas NBA Homecooked Fitted Caps

Adidas is back with another exclusive NBA collection dubbed "Homecooked" set to drop next month. The Homecooked collection is centered around a select set of NBA teams & draws design inspiration from the team's city. The collection consists of Adi Remix EQT kicks, 3 stripe track jackets, custom jerseys, & of course fitted caps. Below is a first look at most of the caps which rep NY Knicks, LA Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Denver Nuggets, Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavs, Houston Rockets & the New Orleans Hornets. One of the most interesting approaches is the Houston Rockets fitted cap that is made completely from poly foam fabric. Taking the space city concept, the cap is printed with a full, all-over galaxy graphic & mirror reflective Adi logo. Other styles sport mint blue wool with grey foam meshback for Denver, printed graphics on inside satin linings for Miami & Detroit, & full front print on satin for the Hornets. Adidas keeps the NBA live with this latest package that will only be available in select fitted & licensed spots this March.
