An impactful figure both on and off the court, Blackwing honours legendary basketballer and civil rights advocate Bill Russell with the striking Volume 11 Pencil Set.
A dominant defender and rebounder, Russell's unselfish style of play redefined what it meant to be a star, prioritizing teamwork and strategy over individual stats. For him, the game was about more than personal glory – it was about the principles that made winning meaningful.Russell embodied that same philosophy in his daily life, standing with civil rights icons like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Muhammad Ali as an advocate for equality.
The Volume 11 release pays tribute to Russell's 11 NBA championship wins, more than any other player, as well as his incredible legacy off the court. The Volume 11 pencils sport a commanding green and black design, with a matching black ferrule and green eraser. The Volume 11 pencils feature Blackwing's soft graphite core, which offers a smooth, dynamic line perfect for drawing.
