Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter, Meek Mill, Lil Baby, Michael Rubin’s Fanatics, Maverick Carter, Charli and Dixie D’Amelio (and their parents Marc and Heidi D’Amelio), and more of the biggest names in sports, entertainment, and culture announced they have teamed up to buy iconic lifestyle brand Mitchell & Ness from Juggernaut Capital Partners. Around 25% of the company will be owned by the strategic investment group, which includes some of the most well-known figures in sports, entertainment, and culture.

“Fashion is cyclical, but classics are forever. Mitchell & Ness is a true classic. I was an early adopter of this brand, as well as a part of a departure from athletic wear,” Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter said in a statement. “I’m proud to play a small role in bringing it back, and in some cases, introducing the authenticity and quality of the Mitchell & Ness brand to a new generation.”

Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin added, “Mitchell & Ness is an iconic brand and a pioneer within our industry.  I’m incredibly excited for Fanatics to partner with this incredible group of innovative owners to build upon the company’s already strong business that has kept the brand culturally relevant for more than 100 years. Growing up as a kid in Philadelphia we looked at Mitchell & Ness as a badge of pride, and I truly believe this legendary brand has no limit.”

Mitchell & Ness already boasts a strong brand but now will expand by utilizing its customer database and strong relationships with sports properties. In addition, the new ownership group will use their combined expertise to grow the brand by investing in growing the brand globally, continuing to elevate the brand’s cultural relevance, expanding the product portfolio, and bringing in new league, team, college, and entertainment rights.

Following the success of PUMA’s basketball-inspired lifestyle collection, High Court, Creatively Directed By June Ambrose, and the introduction of PUMA’s new Women’s Hoops category, global sports company PUMA and PUMA Women’s Hoops Creative Director June Ambrose will release more High Court apparel and footwear.

Ambrose and PUMA will release several new products from the High Court Collection on February 16, with the entire collection available worldwide. The High Court Collection’s most recent styles are inspired by Ambrose’s belief that life is a sport, style is the game, and basketball is the attitude. To emphasize how women are continually winning, playing the game of life, and remaining on top of their daily grind in all roles that they hold, Ambrose incorporated athletic and physical characteristics of the game into the collection.

“Style is such a personal expression, I’ve loved seeing women…and men wear the collection in their own way,” Ambrose said of the collection. “This second drop is really centered around transitional style; I want every piece to work hard for the people wearing them. We hold so many positions in our lives, functionality and versatility are necessities!” 

The High Court Quad Women’s Basketball Jacket, High Court Cunning Suede, High Court Timeless Women’s Tank, University Shopper, and the High Court Women’s Arena Short are just in time for seasonal changes and varied wear.

The Quad Jacket may be worn in a variety of ways, including layered, long line and cropped, or zipped and deconstructed with a fleece, vest, and other accessories.

Starting February 16, the High Court collection, as well as the newest styles, will be available on PUMA.com, in PUMA stores, and at select retailers worldwide.

McDonald’s and 23XI Racing are kicking off the season with a new gear line of racing merch that fans will be rushing to get their hands on just in time for the first race. The co-branded, limited-edition racewear collection will go on sale on the 23XI Shop sponsored by Fanatics on February 18th.

McDonald’s and 23XI merge streetwear and racing for their first-ever gear collection, which includes a special bomber jacket, limited edition t-shirts, basketball shorts, and tearaway snap-up pants for fans to mix and match and show off their style. The 23XI Speed Institute, 23XI Racing’s educational and professional development program focused on DEI activities in the motorsports sector, will benefit from all earnings.

“For years, racing culture has had a presence in streetwear culture. Growing up, I remember how cool it was to rock a racing jacket with all the different patches and designs, so I was more than happy to model this collection,” said 23XI driver Bubba Wallace.  “My favorite piece is the bomber jacket—I love how authentic it looks and it has a unique McDonald’s feature that I know fry enthusiasts, like me, will be particularly excited about.”

This collection is one way we’re connecting to our fans, and we can’t wait to see their excitement when the merch drops this Friday.”
