No emotion. Just distance.

The Step Back 3 Waffle Sweatshirt is an off-court basketball sweatshirt built for the street: the silhouette of the coldest shot in the game, the one you take after you've already created all the space you need. Oversized waffle knit, boxy raglan cut with ribbed collar and cuffs, the same elevated casual line made for life between the gym and the city.

This is off-court basketball wear for hoopers and streetwear heads who want the move on their chest and the comfort in their hands. Vintage washed texture. Structured yet soft. Made to sit with jeans, pleated trousers or shorts, tucked in, with a shirt underneath, layered under a jacket when the season shifts.

The move

A step back three is space made on purpose. You pull away from the contest before the shot leaves your hand, because the decision was already made two moves ago. That read is Metis: craft, timing, and quiet confidence. Curated with artefacts from its creation by Metis.
