LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aviator Nation, the California lifestyle brand known for its handcrafted apparel and unmistakable vintage aesthetic, is bringing its signature style to the arena.

Launching October 29, Aviator Nation will debut its first-ever officially licensed NBA merch collection, featuring six of the league’s iconic franchises: the Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat and New York Knicks. The launch marks a major milestone for the brand as it continues to expand its footprint across professional sports, bringing its unmistakable aesthetic to one of the world’s most passionate fan bases.

The debut lineup features Aviator Nation’s signature hoodies, crewnecks, sweatpants and tees, all designed and produced in Los Angeles but reimagined through the lens of each franchise.

It’s so rad to finally be reaching the fan base of the NBA. We are stoked to be launching with teams that our customers are following,” said Paige Mycoskie, Founder and CEO of Aviator Nation.
