Nike and Giannis Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of UNO with a Slam Dunk!

Mattel, Inc. has announced the first-ever collaboration between its card game UNO and Nike. This UNO x Nike collaboration will be featuring a product line developed in coordination with the 2019-20 Kia NBA Most Valuable Player and a UNO fan, Giannis Antetokounmpo.

I want every product to be genuine and authentic, and playing UNO with my brothers is a big part of our lives, The Nike team has done a great job bringing my ideas to life, and I think they’ve created something for every Nike, UNO and basketball fan in this collection.
