Molten
Basketball for the 2004 Olympic Games
Molten commissions Giugiaro to design the basketball to be used in the Italian Basketball Federation's professional championships and the 2004 Olympic Games.
BRAND: Molten
MODEL: GL7
YEAR: 2003
CATEGORY: Sport and Lifestyle
DESIGNER: Fabrizio Giugiaro
This basketball marries innovation with tradition: in addition to the eight segments that traditionally characterize the ball, Giugiaro adds four new, light-colored ones. The ball maintains an excellent soft feel and playability, and exceptional grip in grip, thanks to the special double-padding technology and deep-grained outer cover. The color scheme, compared to traditional balls, offers warmer and softer shades, where the contrast enhances the rotation of the ball in the air.
