MANSORY and the US sportswear manufacturer “UNDER ARMOUR” announce an extensive cooperation agreement on the occasion of the NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco
San Francisco – To promote the new clothing line from UNDER ARMOUR and MANSORY, MANSORY presented an exclusively built “ONE-OFF” version of the legendary “Le MANSORY” at an exclusive party on the eve of the NBA All-Star Game in San Francisco. This vehicle - inspired by Stephan Curry - will now be used as an eye-catcher with the name “MANSORY x UNDER ARMOUR Le MANSORY” for a nationwide marketing campaign in the United States of America and will make more appearances throughout the year.
This promotional vehicle already gives a clear indication of what the first joint collection from MANSORY and UNDER ARMOUR will look like due to its design language in the two main colors black and yellow. The signature yellow paint work is a tribute to UNDER ARMOUR athlete Stephen Curry, emphasizing the fusion of sport and exclusivity, the car highlights the partnership’s commitment to innovation and luxury
The NBA All-Star Game is the annual highlight of the NBA All-Star Weekend, which is held as part of the North American basketball league – the National Basketball Association (= NBA). This event is extremely popular in America and therefore offers the perfect platform to launch the cooperation between UNDER ARMOUR and MANSORY to the sports-loving public.
Additionally, the collaboration includes a matching pair of UNDER ARMOUR Echo sneakers, in the same colourway and design scheme as the Le MANSORY. The sneaker will be launched in April 2025, with an early debut in a bold colourway.
MANSORY x UNDER ARMOUR Le MANSORY | HISTORY
It was undoubtedly one of the cinema highlights of 2019: the film "Le Mans 66 - Against All Odds". Main actor: The Ford GT40 and the legendary race in Le Mans in 1966.
Le Mans is already a place with a special racing history - and was ennobled by Steve McQueen in his film adaptation "Le Mans" - and this film epic of the modern era has once again drawn the focus to one of the most powerful and spectacular vehicles in automotive history.
The subsequent events in Le Mans do not need to be recounted at length - they and the Ford GT40, which was developed and built for this sole purpose at the time, have been motorsport history and cult at the same time since their furious triple victory in Le Mans in 1966. Everyone knows the story. Everyone knows the Ford GT40.
So what could be more natural than for MANSORY to refine the new edition of this legendary vehicle, which was launched a few years ago under the new abbreviation "Ford GT" - a must-have in every renowned collector's garage worldwide - and thus make it even more desirable?
The Le MANSORY was presented for the first time in 2020 on the occasion of the company's 30th anniversary and was able to add another exciting chapter to the traditional history of the Ford GT.
