ONE PIECE’s NBA Collab Officially Returns With Exclusive New Wilson Basketball
Image by Charlotte DavisThe ongoing collaboration between ONE PIECE and the NBA is expanding with three new products featuring official artwork of Luffy and other characters wearing the uniforms of some of America’s biggest basketball teams.
The latest “ONE PIECE × NBA” collection includes an official Wilson basketball and two matching carrying bags, bringing the crossover into a new range of basketball equipment and accessories.
The partnership between Eiichiro Oda’s long-running anime series and the NBA has already produced several merchandise collections, including figures, plush toys and apparel inspired by teams across the league.
Among the recent releases were new S.H.Figuarts figures of Luffy wearing official Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks jerseys, with further designs representing the Golden State Warriors, Chicago Bulls, Oklahoma City Thunder and Boston Celtics also planned.
Bandai has also developed a separate MASTER STARS PIECE figure collection featuring characters including Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Shanks, Portgas D. Ace and Sabo representing different NBA teams.
Basketball equipment has also been part of the franchise’s wider merchandise lineup in the past, with American sports brand SPALDING previously releasing an extensive ONE PIECE collection featuring basketballs, bags and apparel inspired by the series’ characters and Devil Fruits.
The latest products instead come from Wilson, the NBA’s official game ball manufacturer, and feature the special illustration created for the ongoing ONE PIECE × NBA collaboration.
The artwork places Gear 5 Luffy in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform at the center of the action, surrounded by other characters in official NBA jerseys as they leap, shoot, and compete for the basketball.
That same illustration appears across all three products, accompanied by Wilson, NBA, and ONE PIECE branding.
Let’s take a closer look at the new collection!
- ONE PIECE × NBA Basketball – ¥12,100 (approximately $76 USD / £57 GBP)
The main release is a full-size Wilson basketball featuring the collaboration artwork wrapped around its surface, with Luffy’s Gear 5 appearance and the official NBA logo displayed prominently against a blue background.
The ball also features a large gold Wilson logo and illustrations of other participating characters, bringing together the anime and basketball imagery across its textured panels.
Made from synthetic leather, the basketball is a standard size 7, matching the size used in professional men’s basketball.
- ONE PIECE × NBA Single Ball Carry Bag – ¥4,950 (approximately $31 USD / £23 GBP)
A black mesh carrying bag designed to hold one basketball features a circular fabric panel decorated with the crossover artwork, placing the characters against the Wilson and NBA logos.
The polyester bag includes a drawstring closure and an attachment clip, allowing the ball to be carried or secured to other equipment.
Its open mesh design also allows the basketball to remain visible while being transported.
- ONE PIECE × NBA Basketball Bag – ¥7,150 (approximately $45 USD / £34 GBP)
The final addition is a black drawstring backpack with a large print of the collaboration illustration across its front, accompanied by white Wilson branding and the official NBA logo.
Designed to carry a single basketball, the polyester bag measures approximately 38 cm wide and 46 cm tall, providing another option for taking the matching Wilson ball to games or practice sessions.
Unlike the mesh carrier, this version uses a solid fabric design with drawstring shoulder straps, allowing it to be worn on the back.
The three new “ONE PIECE × NBA” Wilson products are scheduled for advance release at the ONE PIECE BASE SHOP in Shinjuku, Tokyo, on December 25, 2026, with all items sold separately.
The products are currently listed for advance in-store sales, with further retail availability and any potential international release dates yet to be confirmed.
