The world’s oldest still-in-use basketball court is tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of the 9th arrondissement in Paris. It was built in 1893. /VCG Photo

The repainting work, done with the support of Nike and fashion label Pigalle, is a clash of colors and angles that play with the eye while retaining the shape and form of a regular basketball court. /VCG Photo

It was part-funded by an American philanthropist keen to foster closer France-US ties. /VCG Photo
