The Miami Heat have revealed black jerseys with pink trim for a Vice City night built with Rockstar Games and Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack label. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo wear them in the first images the team shared on Thursday. Miami will play in the uniforms on Nov. 18 against the Milwaukee Bucks at Kaseya Center, less than 24 hours before Grand Theft Auto VI launches on Nov. 19. The Heat call the game “A Night in Vice City,” and the jerseys will go on sale at the arena that evening.
All about Heat’s Vice City jersey collaboration with Travis Scott and Rockstar
Nike and Cactus Jack designed the uniform, and both logos appear on the jersey and the shorts. The base is black with bright pink accents, and a map of Miami streets is hidden inside the letters and numbers. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s reads Vice City alongside No. 7, and Bam Adebayo’s has Heat in capital letters with No. 13 beneath.Heat forward Keshad Johnson grew up in Oakland sneaking GTA sessions with his brother Kenny when their parents weren’t looking. He told GQ the look is “kind of like the outlaw type vibe” the team wants on the court. Adebayo had a simpler take: “I feel like Vice City has its own fashion culture.”Jennifer Alvarez, the Heat’s chief creative officer, said the team is “bringing sports and entertainment together in a way that’s never been done.” The idea started in December 2023, when Rockstar’s trailer showed a digital Kaseya Center in its first 30 seconds. Miami has leaned on the Vice name since 2017 and has released five earlier Vice jerseys. Alvarez said this one feels like the payoff of all of them.
Kaseya Center gets a full Vice City makeover
A “Welcome to Vice City” sign is going up on the arena roof. A helicopter helped install it, and one Heat player was late to practice after it blocked his usual route. The plaza outside will be dressed with two of the game’s cars, and the Heat built a one-night-only court to match the game’s neon look. Fans can already order from Burger Shot and Cluckin’ Bell, two fast-food chains from the series. Alvarez would not say what waits inside the arena, only that it will be a full 360 experience.Limited quantities of the Swingman jersey and glossy matching shorts go on sale at the Miami Heat Store inside Kaseya Center on Nov. 18. Nike’s chest logo is printed in pink and flipped backward, a GTA VI patch with palm trees sits opposite it, and six pink stars above the jock tag nod to the game’s top police wanted level. The Heat’s Court Culture label has already put out a streetwear capsule. Rockstar’s GTA VI Music Festival with PlayStation follows on Nov. 21 at Mana Wynwood.Tip-off is at 7 p.m. ET, and the Heat superstar will face his former team.
