Fanatics & Complex Unveil the Playboi Carti x Mitchell & Ness NBA League Collection
The Limited Edition Drop at the Intersection of Music, Style and Hoops Goes On Sale November 6
Complex + Fanatics introduce the exclusive Playboi Carti x Mitchell & Ness NBA League Collection, a limited-edition collaboration that unites the boundary breaking aesthetic of Playboi Carti with the iconic sportswear legacy of Mitchell & Ness. This capsule celebrates Carti’s love for basketball while reimagining classic NBA jerseys through his lens. Known for wearing his basketball jerseys backwards, Playboi Carti’s collection offers a fresh take on basketball culture with a design sensibility rooted in authenticity and individuality.
The collection will showcase exclusive designs from the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Atlanta Hawks, New Jersey Nets, Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers and two Toronto Raptors styles.
Celebrated for his avant-garde, punk-inspired approach to style, Playboi Carti has redefined the boundaries between streetwear and high fashion. Often seen pairing vintage sportswear with edgy, oversized silhouettes, Carti is known globally for his bold statement pieces and unexpected textures that mirror his disruptive musical energy. This collaboration channels Carti’s distinct aesthetic, reimagining Mitchell & Ness’ classic NBA silhouettes through his lens—merging basketball nostalgia with his raw, genre-defying vision. Marked with “YVL”, each piece pays homage to Carti’s Young Vamp Life—a record label, collective, and clothing company built on defiance, devotion, and pure unfiltered individuality. Each of the seven team designs captures his fearless individuality and signature dark, high-energy flair.
The collection drop doesn’t just pay tribute to basketball, it reframes it through the worlds of music and fashion, delivering a must-have collection for fans, and continues Complex and Fanatics’ partnership in creating some of the most highly sought-after collaborations at the intersection of culture and sports.
The Playboi Carti x Mitchell & Ness NBA League Collection will be available exclusively on Fanatics.com, the Complex App, Complex.com, and MitchellandNess.com, beginning November 6th.
