All eyes will be on Cleveland ahead of basketball’s most exciting weekend. The best players and entertainers in the world are headed to town for a star-studded showdown, and Klarna will be there to celebrate too, putting together a popup that highlights some of the most influential sneakers of all-time. If you’re new to this, Klarna is a way to shop smarter, not harder. Using Klarna to pay means you can purchase what you want, and split the cost into four interest-free payments. Whether you’re shopping online or in-store, Klarna has the flexible payment options you need when you decide to buy.
But there will be more than just sneakers at Klarna’s basketball popup. Fans will also be able to measure their shooting skills on a custom half court. There will be a beat the clock challenge where guests try to sink a layup, free throw, three point, and a new four point shot in under 40 seconds. Fans that make it rain can win exclusive merch designed by artist Sophia Chang and other prizes.
The popup’s main attraction will be game-worn archival Jordans from across the years. These include original Jordan 12s from the ’97 Playoffs, game-worn Columbia 11s from the ’96 game, and even the Black Cement 4s that he wore when he sunk his most famous game-winning shot of all time in Cleveland.
In addition to the game-worn shoes, there will be four pairs of coveted sneakers on display too—Black/Cement Jordan 3s, Banned Jordan 1s, Lebron 10 P.S. Elites, and Undefeated Kobe 5s. Anyone using Klarna at Stadium Goods over the weekend will be entered to win one of the pairs. In fact, all purchases from this weekend will earn you triple Vibes from Klarna’s rewards club. Vibe members get access to amazing perks like exclusives, deals, content, and experiences.
Even better, not only has Klarna changed the shopping game for fans, they’ve also teamed up with artist Sophia Chang to give fans the opportunity to customize the gear given away onsite. Sophia has worked with a number of pro basketball teams and has collaborated with some of the world’s biggest brands. She’ll be creating digital art pieces over the course of the weekend, as well as inscribing unique illustrations on everything from basketballs to specialty gear celebrating the big game.
Between the custom court, onsite customization, and the sneaker installations, there’s no shortage of activities. So if you’re headed to C-Town, stopping by the Klarna popup experience is a must. Sure, some of the weekend’s action will take place inside the arena, but Klarna will be giving fans who can’t make it to Cleveland a chance to own a piece of basketball history with exclusive curated items available on the Klarna digital site—KlarnaVault.com. Everyone who buys gear online will be entered to win a pair of highly coveted sneakers. In-store, online, or in the app—no matter where you shop, Klarna’s got your back.
