European Basketball Heritage: Jugoplastika

BSTN’s European Basketball Heritage Series is a celebration of the unique local cultures and a humble tribute to those, who were essential in creating them. With basketball deeply rooted in the brand’s DNA, BSTN has always taken pride in adding their own flavor and a unique European twist to its projects. That’s why we teamed up with the good people at adidas to create two exclusive pairs of the Forum ’84 that are dedicated to two of the absolute powerhouses in European basketball history. The second drop, a Forum High, pays tribute to Jugoplastika Split, the only team to ever win Europe’s premier basketball competition three years in a row. After originally releasing the Forum dedicated to Jugoplastika Split as part of the friends & family edition BSTN x adidas “Ćevape & Fries“ pack in November 2020, the highly sought-after model returns for a worldwide release. From the team’s first European Champions Cup triumph in BSTN’s hometown of Munich (1989) to the completion of the triple in Paris two years later, the equally beautiful and successful brand of basketball shown by this golden generation has put the sports-crazy city of Split firmly on the map of European basketball. Clad in the team’s characteristic colors of black and yellow, the adidas x BSTN Forum High ties back to an era of dominance for Jugoplastika Split with a special loop label at the heel and team branding on the ankle. The high-top truly is as ‘Euro’ as it gets, evoking memories of the legendary Gripe gym
