The L.A.-based American artist is known for fusing the traditional craftsmanship of stained glass with the aesthetics of basketball. That artistic vision that has defined his work, constantly evolving and intersecting with urban culture, now rises to a new category with a new collaboration with the NBA.
Victor Solomon wanted to once again take luxury off the court with a high-end bottle alongside Michelob ULTRA that competes with the Michelob ULTRA NBA Championship naming and is made with the authentic gold used in the prestigious basketball league’s trophies.
“I approached the opportunity with the ambition to literally elevate this bottle to trophy status,” Solomon said in a press release. “I first adopted a dimensional pattern at the base, inspired by my art stained glass basketball backboards, and topped it with a white gradient to symbolize the ascension to excellence.”
The centerpiece of the bottle takes the form of a basketball pendant made from recycled trophy gold and inlaid with 25 diamonds. The base of the bottle is inspired by the panels of Solomon’s art glass.
“The basketball-inspired, diamond-encrusted pendant is made from recycled trophy gold and specially molded to sit flush with the surface of the bottle, with signature Michelob ULTRA ribbon to wrap around it and mount it on the bottle. It’s a unique opportunity for fans to get their hands on the DNA of the Championship and celebrate it in their own way.”
