UNKNWN is taking over downtown Akron on South Main Street (also known as King James Way) to host an all-ages block party and basketball tournament presented by Nike. The event celebrates the city of Akron and the launch of the limited edition UNKNWN x Nike LeBron XX “Message In A Bottle” sneaker collaboration.

The UNKNWN 3v3 Courtyard Classic basketball tournament features a pop-up basketball court on South Main Street in front of the UNKNWN Akron store with basketball teams hosted by UNKNWN ambassadors and Ohio locals.

Attendees watching the tournament will be able to shop booths from local businesses, learn about regional Akron organizations, and enjoy bites from independent food trucks. Additional games and activations will be available for visitors of all ages throughout the day.

Join us on Saturday, June 17th 2023 between 3-10pm at UNKNWN Akron, 199 S Main Street (across from Lock 3 Park).
