FEATURE x Mitchell & Ness
Haven Neiman
A significant milestone in athletic fashion was instilled in 1904 when Frank Mitchell and Charles Ness joined in Philadelphia to establish Mitchell & Ness Sporting Goods. Initially specializing in tennis racquets and then moving forward in constructing custom-made golf clubs, the brand continued to grow. Mitchell & Ness achieved a major milestone in 1993, specifically in the NFL by making uniforms for the Philadelphia Eagles. This partnership continued for the next 20 years, but in 1938, Mitchell & Ness entered professional baseball, making uniforms for the Philadelphia Athletics.
Since 1938, Mitchell & Ness has become well-known for crafting historically-accurate, vintage authentic baseball jerseys and apparel. Mitchell & Ness Nostalgia Co. was eventually born and has continuously offered an array of authentic jersey and apparel collections for the MLB, NFL, NBA, NCAA, and MLS. This international lifestyle nostalgia brand has planted a stake in the fashion industry, as it has been providing authentic and premium throwback jerseys for an array of sports fans.
With that, vintage basketball and our ‘All Things Good’ mantra collide in the new and exclusive FEATURE x Mitchell & Ness collaboration. These exclusive silhouettes are a must-have for any apparel rotation, displayed on two sets of authentic vintage-inspired jerseys and shorts. Inspired by vintage basketball, the sets are introduced in pink and green colorways, these authentic jersey sets make a bold statement. In the FEATURE x Mitchell & Ness Jersey, the premium silhouette is composed of a lightweight polyester mesh blend and spotlights striped and ripped detailing seen at the neckline and sleeve cuffs. Proudly displaying a vintage aesthetic and ideal for any athletic apparel rotation, residing on the chest is a detailed FEATURE script logo embroidered in a delicate manner. Additional detailing comes in the form of a signature Mitchell & Ness woven tag combined with a gold-inspired FEATURE tag.
As for the matching shorts, also featured in green and pink colorways, the same polyester mesh construction makes an appearance. Elastic striped ribbing is seen at the waistband, while the in-seam side pockets provide a functional touch. Rear zippered pockets also make an appearance, continuing that functional notion. Drawstrings are placed at the waistband as well. FEATURE is embroidered at the side of both thighs, while the striped detailing throughout the design completes the vintage aesthetic.
