“The unwavering passion and commitment that these men bring on and off the court, and how they translate that confidence to their style and everyday lives is inspiring. When I first launched the David Yurman men’s category in 2004, I wanted to expand the brand’s appeal to a younger, more diversified client. Twenty years later, I am seeing the momentum around the men’s jewelry industry increasing rapidly, so there is no better time than now to partner with these athletes.”
A three-part docuseries has also launched along with the partnership.
It features Kuzma, Russell, and Green in their own episodes centered around their journey, what drives their passion for basketball, and how their style is a form of self-expression.
