Our signature three stars are stitched into the tongue, with a brick graphic insole featuring our 30th Anniversary crest. More design details and info here: http://slam.ly/30-adi

There is no better way to end the year than by building more courts in a new country: Last week, for the first time in GOA history, we visited South Africa to unveil three courts at two different locations. 🇿🇦 Iconic double court in Johannesburg Supported by SLAM and JDS Sports Play with Purpose initiative, and built in partnership with Joburg Parks, these courts in Donald Mackay Park are going to empower the local community and grow the game we love. Kroomdraai court at the Cradle of Humankind Thanks to our generous donors, Jess and Scott Lake, this court stands as a reminder of our shared beginnings and the limitless potential of what we can achieve together. This was a big milestone in our mission to build 100 courts across Africa. We are ending 2024 with having built 37 courts in 11 countries. An achievement that wouldn't be possible without our sponsors, partners and donors. We are forever grateful for your support and look forward to continuing this journey together in 2025.

SLAM x Stephen Curry❗️ Inspired by Stephen's first SLAM cover in 2013, we've teamed up with Curry Brand / Under Armour to celebrate our 30th anniversary with a limited-edition collab pack. Both the Spawn FloTro and Curry 12 draw from Issue #173 featuring “The Can’t Miss Kid” — with an all-over print of Curry’s 10 different SLAM covers also layered throughout each shoe. A SLAM woven label tag is seen along the heel, with each pair individually numbered out of just 30 total pairs. Curry debuted both sneakers this weekend, fittingly dropping 30 points in them.
