A handful of NBA stars have had their turn at music and many music artists have dreamed of making the NBA. Today, those worlds collide with the launch of Bleacher Report’s NBA Remix Collection limited-edition apparel line. In partnership with the NBA and Mitchell & Ness, the first-of-its-kind collaboration features iconic hip-hop artists reimagining their hometown NBA team’s logos and uniform designs for a line of jerseys, T-shirts, hoodies, shorts, hats and long-sleeved tees.
The line includes exclusive designs by some of the biggest names in hip-hop including Future (for Atlanta Hawks), Schoolboy Q (for Los Angeles Lakers), Big Sean (for Detroit Pistons), DJ Khaled (for Miami Heat), The Diplomats (for New York Knicks), No Limit (for New Orleans Pelicans), E-40 (for Golden State Warriors), and Wale (for Washington Wizards) who have authentic passion for the teams they grew up idolizing. The NBA Remix Collection launches today on BleacherReportShop.com and MitchellandNess.com with prices ranging from $40 to $175.
