This stunning basketball court is nestled between buildings in an otherwise regular suburb of Paris.

Fashion brand Pigalle worked with design agency Ill Studio and Nike to create the dazzling sight at Rue Duperre in the French capital.

"We're ready. LeBron James mind. This is it. Force," posted the label's Stephane Ashpool, a big basketball fan.

The site was already pretty famous for its bright primary colours but we think this revamp is next level.

Ashpool posted this video of his creation.

The court has fast become major eye candy for photographers in Paris.

This aerial image was captured by Sebastien Michelini.

And Alex Penfornis took these stunning shots.
