BTS sensation Suga unveils exclusive basketball-inspired capsule collection

BTS member Suga has collaborated with Mitchell & Ness for an NBA-themed apparel collection. The K-pop star was named as a league ambassador in April and was present in the NBA Finals hype video.

The NBA announced the partnership on Thursday, calling it a celebration of the singer's love for basketball. The collection will include Mitchell & Ness apparel such as T-shirts, jackets, shorts, hoodies and hats.

According to Women's Wear Daily, the collection will only feature six NBA teams — the LA Lakers, Golden State Warriors, LA Clippers, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets. Suga performed in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York during his recent tour.

The 30-year-old artist had a hand in the designs of the collection and worked intently with Mitchell & Ness to produce the apparel. He incorporated his other stage name, Agust D, as well as elements from his album D-Day into the collection:

"I'm so excited for the next phase of my relationship with the league with the launch of my very own capsule collection," Suga said. "As a longtime fan of the NBA and its teams, this collection is incredibly special to me. I look forward to sharing this with all of you."
