The private sales Basketball bring together, for a limited time, the gear for both the court and the playground: signature shoes adidas from Anthony Edwards and James Harden, Puma from LaMelo Ball, balls Spalding, Molten, and Wilson, reversible vests Errea and Macron, shorts and club jerseys, including the jersey of Paris Basketball.
Temporary selections to gear up for both the court and the playground.
A signature shoe is designed with the player whose name it bears, based on their playing style. The A.E. line by Anthony Edwards, revealed with the Minnesota Timberwolves, was launched by adidas in 2023: the Mid version goes up over the ankle, while the Low version frees the ankle for quick players. The Harden line, associated with James Harden since 2016, focuses on cushioning for a game of footwork and retreats. The D.O.N. Issue by Donovan Mitchell, which is lighter, targets explosive guards. At Puma, LaMelo Ball's MB line stands out with its bright colours, and the Wade Shadow by Li Ning continues Dwyane Wade's legacy.
The private basketball sale is organised by type:
Choosing a basketball primarily depends on the court. Composite models, like the TF Legacy line from Spalding, offer precise touch on hardwood, while the Varsity, made of rubber, withstands pavement. Spalding provided the official NBA ball from 1983 to 2021. Molten supplies competitions for the International Federation, and its composite training ball remains a reliable choice for clubs. The three-on-three ball from Wilson has the circumference of a size six but the weight of a size seven, allowing for faster play outdoors. For younger players, the foam Tremblay ball allows them to learn without fear of injury.
Private sales are also available by category: football, lifestyle, handball and volleyball, racket sports, combat sports, brands, on the private sales page.
The reversible tank top is the coach's tool: one light side, one dark side, and two teams are formed in one motion. The Errea Chicago and Macron, made of breathable polyester, withstand the repeated washes of a club season. The basketball shorts, long and loose, stop above the knee to allow freedom of movement; those from Proact or Puma, matching the jersey, outfit the teams. On the supporter side, the jersey of Paris Basketball represents a club founded in 2018, located at the Adidas Arena, north of the capital, and winner of the EuroCup in 2024. The bag Tremblay finally carries up to fifteen balls.
Good deals can also be found in the great deals, promotions, clearance sales, sales, Black Friday. The new arrivals feature the latest collections, and the items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent within 24 hours. The key events of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end-of-year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back to school.
Five players from each team are on the court, with up to seven substitutes on the match sheet according to FIBA rules. Substitutions are unlimited and occur during stoppages in play.
Women's competitions use a size six ball, about seventy-two centimetres in circumference, smaller and lighter than the size seven men's ball. Young girls also use it from around eleven or twelve years old.
The simplest way is to join a club’s recreational section, where you learn dribbling, passing, and shooting without the pressure of results. Playing three-on-three on a playground also helps you improve quickly, with more balls touched.
You should leave about half a centimetre of space in front of your big toe, with your foot measured at the end of the day while wearing thick sports socks. Shoes that are too big will let your foot slip during direction changes and increase the risk of sprains.
Wipe it with a slightly damp cloth, without using harsh products, and let it air dry. Respect the pressure marked near the valve and reserve it for indoor use, as outdoor surfaces wear it out quickly.
