Hennessy has unveiled its latest limited-edition collection in collaboration with NBA superstar LeBron James, marking a significant moment where athletic prowess meets centuries of cognac craftsmanship.
The collection, which landed in Malaysia this week, bears the unmistakable imprint of James’s aesthetic sensibility: vibrant purple and orange hues embrace the bottle’s contours.
The legendary Hennessy Bras Armé symbol has been reimagined wearing a sleeve—a subtle nod to the basketball icon’s on-court presence.
During a previous visit to the Maison in Cognac, the Los Angeles Lakers power forward—whose career has redefined excellence in professional basketball—witnessed firsthand the meticulous attention to detail that goes into each bottle.
As an admirer of Hennessy and its iconic brand, I’ve always appreciated its commitment to basketball and how it celebrates the sport’s influence on and off the court.
A CELEBRATION OF SHARED VALUES
Laurent Boillot, CEO of Hennessy, frames the collaboration as more than mere merchandising, positioning the partnership as a natural confluence of two entities that have consistently pushed the boundaries of their respective domains.
He is a legend in basketball who pushes boundaries in sport, style and culture, we wanted to honor all our deep and shared values. This limited edition is a celebration of our friendship, mutual respect and drive for excellence. Together we have created a fresh and vibrant collection for a new generation of fans.
The limited edition V.S.O.P collection is now making its way to Malaysia’s high-end establishments and authorized distributors.
For cognac enthusiasts and basketball aficionados alike, it offers a chance to possess what might be considered a liquid embodiment of greatness—both distilled and athletic.
