James Harden Court
Transforming a Haitian Community Through Basketball, Art, and Impact

Overview
The Challenge
James Harden and Adidas set out to make a real difference in Port-au-Prince, Haiti—not just through philanthropy, but by creating a lasting space that fused basketball, creativity, and culture. The goal was to build something tangible that left a mark and brought joy to the next generation.
Our Approach
We partnered with Haitian artist OliGa and the Harden-led Impact13 Foundation to design and launch a custom basketball court in the heart of Port-au-Prince. The court featured vibrant, purpose-driven artwork that reflected the community and Harden’s global impact. Our creative role included:
- Artistic direction and visual concept for the court
- Partnership coordination with OliGa and Adidas
- Strategic storytelling around the court’s unveiling
Key Deliverables
- Custom court design
- Visual branding and creative direction
- Event visuals and promotional assets
The Impact
Over 300 children received hygiene supplies and apparel from the Impact13 Foundation. The court became both a symbol of hope and a functioning space for play and community. Covered by Yahoo Sports and praised across media, the activation blended sport, style, and purpose—and left a lasting impact far beyond the paint.
