Anyone who’s played an intense round of Uno knows that the card game can get just as heated as a game on the basketball court! So it makes sense that Uno is partnering with Nike and the NBA’s Giannis Antetokounmpo for a collection of athletic shoes and apparel inspired by Mattel’s popular game.
Antetokounmpo, an avid Uno player himself, worked with Mattel and Nike to design and curate the new collection, which celebrates Uno’s 50th anniversary. The first component of the collaboration is a footwear line, which includes Nike’s Zoom Freak 3, Air Force 1, and Offline shoes in Uno colorways. There will also be a member-only black colorway of the Zoom Freak 3 featuring an Uno 50th anniversary logo on the tongue and wild cards across the toe.
The apparel capsule collection portion of this collaboration will include a cotton T-shirt and a hat that feature Antetokounmpo’s number written on Uno cards, alongside the Uno logo. Both the footwear and the apparel will be available from nike.com in the coming months.
Finally, there will also be an Antetokounmpo-branded Uno deck available as part of this collection. It will feature a new rule in which players can “force a turnover” to steal an extra card. This deck will be available from Mattel Creations and NTWRK starting on Nov. 11.
To help celebrate this new collection and Uno’s ongoing anniversary, the UNO! mobile app will also integrate Antetokounmpo’s deck. From Nov. 1-30, players can get these cards and other themed rewards within the app.
