Streetwear is getting a bold new face. For Fall/Winter 2025, Ecko Unltd has selected Jalen “J-Dub” Williams, the rising NBA star, as the centerpiece of its campaign.
The collaboration blends nostalgia, athletic energy, and personal authenticity. Let’s explore how this union came to be — and what it means for both brand and athlete.
Why Jalen “J-Dub” Williams?
At just 23, Williams has already made waves. He earned a 2025 NBA All-Star nod and helped lead his team to the NBA Finals appearance.
He is also known off the court for his style and confidence. His fashion choices signal personality, not trend-chasing. That aligns well with Ecko’s ethos of authenticity and rooted street culture.
In fact, Williams has shared that he grew up seeing Ecko’s ads and icons, which made a lasting impression.
The FW25 Campaign: Nostalgia Meets Modernity
The campaign visuals revisit Ecko’s early advertising roots, but through a contemporary lens. A docu-style short film, shot in New York City (where Ecko was founded), forms a core part of the storytelling.
Williams is featured not only in posed photography, but in candid moments — walking city streets, in studio spaces, and interacting with the urban backdrop. The intent: merge the raw with the refined.
Color palettes, styling, and set design reference vintage Ecko motifs — graffiti, bold prints, blocky silhouettes — while incorporating modern athletic fabrics and cuts.
Ecko plans to extend the campaign into Spring 2026 by releasing a capsule collection co-designed with Williams.
