Nike has officially released the highly-anticipated NBA City Edition jerseys for the new season, with the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets showcasing designs that pay tribute to their respective communities. These unique jerseys are part of Nike’s annual City Edition series. They celebrate the history and culture of each team’s city.
What is the NBA City Edition collection?
For New Yorkers, supporting the Knicks or Nets is more than just about basketball; it’s about representing their city. The City Edition jerseys are designed to capture the cultural vibrancy of New York, from the iconic streets of Manhattan to the artistic spirit of Brooklyn.
Brooklyn Nets: Back for the Borough
The Brooklyn Nets City Edition jersey for 2024-25 marks their second collaboration with renowned Brooklyn artist KAWS. This year’s design features the artist’s signature abstract style, using shades of gray with vibrant pops of color.
The word “BROOKLYN” appears across the chest, celebrating the team’s home borough. Unique elements include KAWS’ “XX” motif on the waistband and his signature above the jock tag, making this jersey a true collector’s item.
When will the Nets City Edition Jersey be available?
The new Nets City Edition jersey is set to debut on December 1, 2024, during their home game against the Orlando Magic at Barclays Center. Fans can purchase the jersey online and at the Nets’ team store for a limited time.
New York Knicks: The city so nice, they named it twice
The New York Knicks City Edition jersey for the 2024-25 season takes a nostalgic turn with a modern twist. The Knicks’ new uniform features an inverted color scheme of last year’s design, inspired by their iconic late 90s and early 2000s jerseys.
The base color is white, with royal blue accents and subtle pinstripes, giving it a sleek, fresh look. Designed in collaboration with NYC-based fashion brand Kith, this jersey stands out with its stacked “New York” wordmark across the chest, symbolizing the phrase “The city so nice, they named it twice”.
