Balenciaga BLCG 26SS Half-Arc 01 Basketball Embroidered Shell Jacket – Royal Blue

The Half-Arc 01, in the color of the court. This Balenciaga BLCG 26SS Half-Arc 01 Basketball Embroidered Shell Jacket in Royal Blue carries the same construction and material specification as the off-white version — custom matte taslan fabric, DWR waterproof coating pre-treatment, third-grade polyester bird-eye mesh inner lining, internal zip concealed pocket, OS oversized silhouette, all construction details unchanged — in the colorway that is the most direct and unambiguous basketball reference in the Half-Arc 01 lineup. Royal/electric blue — the saturated primary blue that is the color of the basketball court, the color of the warm-up jacket that the Half-Arc 01 references, the colorway where the jacket’s sporting heritage is stated rather than implied. In royal blue, the white embroidery reads at maximum contrast: the most visually dominant version of the three colorways.

The embroidery system is unchanged. Large arched “BALENCIAGA” text embroidery across the front chest — white on royal blue, the half-arc varsity lettering at its highest contrast, the house name in the basketball team name position reading clearly from across the room. “01” number embroidery below the text on the front — white on royal blue, the number that completes the varsity jersey reference. Large “01” number embroidery on the back — white on royal blue, the back number that reads from the greatest distance of any colorway in the lineup. Small Balenciaga ellipse logo above the text on the left chest. The matte taslan surface absorbs the royal blue rather than reflecting it — the saturated color without shine, the depth of the blue without the gloss. The BLCG 26SS Half-Arc 01 in royal blue: the basketball jacket that does not whisper.
