The Brooklyn Nets have launched their 2024-25 Nike NBA City Edition uniform in partnership with iconic Brooklyn artist KAWS. Building on their commitment to spotlight local talent, the Nets are the only pro team KAWS has collaborated with, making this the second year of their partnership. This initiative celebrates Brooklynâs unique cultural landscape and further strengthens the teamâs dedication to fashion-forward designs, which also includes their premium merchandise line, bÇrĆ.
The new uniform draws inspiration from KAWSâ 10-part âTENSIONâ series, incorporating his signature abstract elements. Designed with a gray palette and vibrant accent colors, the jersey prominently displays âBROOKLYNâ across the chestâa change from last yearâs âNETSââto honor the teamâs borough. The uniform lettering is inspired by KAWSâ graphic style, with a remixed Nets logo on the shorts and his signature âXXâ motif on the waistband. Additionally, KAWSâ autograph appears above the jerseyâs jock tag, adding an exclusive artist touch.
âIt was a pleasure to design my second City Edition uniform for the Nets, honoring my local team and community while paying tribute to the borough of Brooklyn,â said KAWS.
âWeâre excited to expand our partnership with KAWS, whose work pushes artistic boundaries and allows us to continue to connect with fans all over the world,â said Andrew Karson, Executive Vice President of Marketing at BSE Global, parent company of the Nets. âOur latest City Edition collaboration continues the Netsâ commitment to cultural innovation, and its fresh and expressive vision represents the borough we call home. These uniforms reflect our connection to the community, and KAWSâ distinctive artistic style perfectly captures the spirit of Brooklyn â bold, vibrant, and full of energy.â
