A Basketball With Something to Say
A basketball is usually a simple object.
You throw it.
You dribble it.
You shoot it.
But some objects become something more.
They become symbols.
They become conversation starters.
They become reminders of ideas.
The Designed by Concordia Premium Leather Basketball — inspired by They Live — takes one of the most recognizable objects in sports and transforms it into a piece of cultural design.
More Than a Game
Basketball has always represented more than competition.
It represents:
Creativity
Individual expression
Discipline
Skill
Personal style
From neighborhood courts to professional arenas, the basketball has become part of global culture.
But what happens when you combine that symbol with one of science fiction's most memorable messages?
You create something designed not just to be used — but noticed.
The They Live Message
John Carpenter's They Live remains one of the most discussed science-fiction films because it explores ideas about:
Advertising
Consumer culture
Social influence
Conformity
Seeing beyond appearances
The film's famous imagery — including messages like OBEY and CONSUME — continues to inspire artists, designers, and fans decades later.
The Designed by Concordia They Live collection uses these themes as creative inspiration, turning everyday objects into pieces that encourage conversation.
Why a Basketball?
A basketball is one of the most recognizable objects in everyday life.
It represents play.
Competition.
Community.
But it can also represent something else:
A blank canvas.
Throughout history, designers have transformed basketballs into collectible and artistic objects, combining craftsmanship, materials, and visual storytelling.
The They Live Premium Leather Basketball continues that tradition by combining sports culture with the visual language of a cult classic.
For the Court, the Collection, or the Display Shelf
Not every basketball has to be treated like ordinary sports equipment.
Some belong in a collection.
Some become part of a room's design.
Some start conversations.
This basketball is perfect for:
✓ Basketball fans
✓ Movie collectors
✓ John Carpenter fans
✓ Science-fiction enthusiasts
✓ Fans of unique design
✓ People who appreciate symbolic objects
The Intersection of Sports and Culture
Sports have always reflected society.
Athletes become cultural icons.
Sneakers become fashion statements.
Team logos become symbols.
Objects connected to sports often become part of personal identity.
A basketball with a message does the same thing.
It asks:
What do the objects around you represent?
