A Masterpiece Between Life and Transience. The URBN HOOP® Skeleton is more than just a basketball hoop—it’s an artistic interpretation of streetball culture, impermanence, and urban aesthetics. The handcrafted airbrush artwork, with its striking details, depicts a mystical Grim Reaper, gripping the metal hoop as if pausing the game, freezing time, and transforming the sport’s energy into something deeper. A standout element is the URBN HOOP® chain draped around the Reaper’s neck. Crafted with intricate detailing, it features a bold URBN HOOP® emblem—a symbol of the connection between streetball and urban art. The chain seamlessly blends into the dark, high-contrast color scheme, dominated by deep blacks and grays, while blue and yellow light effects create an almost supernatural aura. This is not just a hoop—it’s a statement for those who see streetball as a philosophy of life. The fusion of powder-coated steel, the artistically crafted URBN HOOP® chain, and intricate airbrush techniques makes this piece an iconic collector’s item in the URBN HOOP® ART Collection.

This exclusive special edition of the URBN HOOP® was not created for play, but as a pure expression of inspiration. Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where cracks are refined with gold, this hoop represents the power of beauty within imperfection. All golden elements – from the rim to the connecting parts – have been meticulously hand-finished with genuine gold leaf. This noble sheen lends the entire object a nearly meditative presence and emphasizes the artistic ambition of the Kintsugi Edition. The net is intricately knotted from white Paracord, interwoven with golden strands that catch and carry the light. The blue knot elements evoke the delicate leaves of a rare flower native to Japan, while the centrally placed golden knot symbolizes the flower’s stigma – the heart of this floral composition.
