UNINTERRUPTED and Mitchell & Ness Reimagine Historic Championship Jerseys
Celebrating the legacy of Walt “Clyde” Frazier, Julius “Dr. J” Erving, and Larry Bird.
Lebron James‘ athlete empowerment brand UNINTERRUPTED and jersey specialists Mitchell & Ness have announced a new collaboration celebrating the legacy of three of the NBA‘s most iconic players.
The capsule draws inspiration from the personal stories and on and off the court accomplishments of basketball legends Walt “Clyde” Fraizer, Julius “Dr. J” Erving and Larry Bird who embody UNINTERRUPTED’s core “More Than an Athlete” spirit. Championship jerseys, shorts, team T-shirts and adjustable caps are reimagined to match each player’s personal style and iconic off-court identities.
While known on the court for being a commanding floor general and lockdown perimeter defender, Frazier was also known for his daring fashion choices that often included animal prints. His reimagined 1970 New York Knicks championship jersey is dressed in blue leopard print reflecting his vivacious style. Dr. J’s American Basketball Association (ABA) championship jersey from 1974 is given a bright multicolored makeover as an ode to his high-flying highlight-reel style of play, and Larry Bird’s reworked Celtics championship jersey from 1985 celebrates his small-town roots in French Lick, Indiana with flannel patterns.
The collection drops on October 22 for purchase on UNINTERRUPTED’s IG Shop, followed by an online release at the UNINTERRUPTED and Mitchell & Ness websites.
