A slick hip-hop collaboration recently emerged through the partnership of the renowned sports apparel brand Mitchell & Ness and the well-known graffiti crew TATS. The two have come together to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop. Paying homage to the legacy of the music culture, Mitchell & Ness and TATS have unveiled an exclusive NBA Hardwood Classics Collection set that was released in October, coinciding with the 2023-24 NBA season and Hip-Hop History Month in November.
This groundbreaking hip-hop collaboration blends sports and street art, using NBA jerseys as canvases for TATS Cru’s vibrant and raw graffiti style. The capsule pays homage to eight major cities that played a pivotal role in the development of the culture. Aesthetically, the capsule features unique graffiti designs of city skylines and the core elements of Hip-Hop.
