Fanatics and Complex Launch Playboi Carti x Mitchell & Ness NBA League Collection

Collaboration at the Intersection of Culture

The Playboi Carti x Mitchell & Ness NBA League Collection is a first-of-its-kind limited-edition drop uniting the boundary-pushing style of Playboi Carti with the timeless athletic legacy of Mitchell & Ness.

This capsule celebrates Carti’s passion for basketball while thoughtfully reimagining the iconic silhouettes of classic NBA jerseys through his distinctive lens, famously inspired by his habit of wearing them backwards.​

What Makes This Drop Unique

Representing teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks, New Jersey Nets, Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers, and two Toronto Raptors editions, each jersey blends Carti’s signature oversized fits, raw textures, and subversive artistry with Mitchell & Ness’ sportswear heritage.

Marked with “YVL,” each piece honors his Young Vamp Life record label and movement for unfiltered self-expression.

The number “00” and unique layering, color blocking, and mesh mesh materials give every design a fresh sense of drama and personality.​

Style and Creative Vision

Carti’s avant-garde approach merges streetwear’s edginess with musical rebellion, channeling a punk, high-fashion spirit that’s defined his creative career.

Each jersey acts as both a nostalgic nod to NBA culture and a modern canvas for self-expression, echoing the themes of individuality, attitude, and music-led authenticity woven throughout this capsule.

The release reframes basketball as a platform for boundary less creativity, not just sport.​

Celebrating Basketball, Music, and Fashion

The Playboi Carti x Mitchell & Ness collection is more than just team jerseys it’s a convergence of hoop dreams, musical innovation, and street style.

Marked by bold colorblocking, mesh materials, and graphic details, every item pays tribute to basketball’s cultural role while welcoming the next generation’s fresh perspective.
