Playboi Carti has released his official NBA x Opium x Mitchell & Ness x Complex jersey collection, blending his dark, futuristic style with classic sportswear. The collection reimagines vintage NBA jerseys with bold design elements and Carti’s signature visual aesthetic.
Opium announced the collaboration with the caption, “IT WAS EITHER DA NBA OR DIS RAP SH*T,” highlighting Carti’s connection to both basketball and fashion. The project merges Opium’s minimal, raw, and rebellious look with Mitchell & Ness’s focus on old-school basketball style.
The collection features reworked jerseys from teams including the Lakers, Bulls, Magic, and Raptors. Each jersey displays Carti’s “YVL” lettering and the number “00,” incorporating split color effects, sharp contrasts, and unique textures that give every piece a modern edge while retaining throwback details.
Visuals for the drop show the jerseys hanging in locker rooms under bright lights, emphasizing the connection to both basketball and Carti’s creative world. The designs include bold color blocking, stripes, and clean mesh materials, blending vintage NBA design with contemporary streetwear.
Details on the release date and retail price have not been confirmed, though speculation suggests a jersey could be priced around $200. Fans are watching closely as Carti continues to expand his influence across music, fashion, and culture.
