Found Surface x Cavs x CMA
This past season, Found Surface partnered with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Cleveland Museum of Art to support the launch of the 2024–25 City Edition collection. The collaboration wasn’t just about new apparel—it was about showing what’s possible when sports, arts, and local production work together with purpose.
We developed a limited run of tees and hoodies that brought the spirit of the collection into a tangible, wearable form—crafted right here in our Cleveland factory. The Cavs came to us because they were looking for something more intentional: sustainability, transparency, and a direct connection to the city that inspired the collection.
By working alongside two of Cleveland’s most iconic institutions, we helped create more than just merch. We helped shape a moment. A model for how local businesses and cultural forces can collaborate to create work that reflects the place we all call home.
And yes—Grannie made it into the film. A reminder that what we’re building is rooted in real people, real skills, and real pride.
This partnership is a glimpse of the future we believe in—where making things locally isn’t a trend. It’s the standard.
Watch the short film here—a celebration of Cleveland creativity, collaboration, and the clothes that came from it:
