KAYCE KIRIHARA
Built different. Moves accordingly.
WHATTHEKAYCE?!
Basketball doesn’t stop at the court anymore.
This project looks at where the game lives now across style, media, and presence.
Through Kayce Kirihara, in arena host for the Seattle Storm.
Kayce moves between those spaces without breaking rhythm. Athlete background. On court voice. Off court perspective. It all shows up the same way — controlled, intentional, and fully considered.
The direction was simple.
Strip it back.
Let presence lead.
Clean lines. Elevated streetwear. Natural movement.
Nothing overstyled. Nothing unnecessary.
Every frame built to feel immediate but lasting.
The result positions Kayce beyond a single role not just part of the game, but part of the culture shaping it.
