King Kendrick brings a fluid, ambidextrous game to basketball that is already drawing attention. In a recent press conference at All-Star weekend, Kyrie Irving mentioned Kendrick by name and spoke about how the next generation of players will need to be truly ambidextrous to compete at the highest level.

To create the visuals for the King x Kani "90s Kid" campaign, Kani brought in celebrity photographer Carell Augustus, author of the Black Hollywood Book project, to showcase classic and exclusive looks at the intersection of sport, fashion, and culture.

Karl Kani will serve as Investor, Mentor, Stylist, and Creator. This partnership marks a new chapter in how athlete identity is built and expressed.
