Pieces deeply saturated in color are absolutely fearless in honoring their respective teams, from the vibrant Phoenix Suns bomber jacket ablaze in brilliant orange and purple to the wine-drenched Toronto Raptors crewneck.
Other teams in the mix include the Boston Celtics, Dallas Mavericks, and Miami Heat — and each one has at its helm a super-talented artist who brings their own unique vision to the design.
MADSTEEZ, for example, brings an incredible personal touch to his Phoenix Suns collection. Abstract designs and judicious use of specific colors are influenced by his left-eye blindness. The result is bright, audacious, and unlike anything else.
Blue the Great is inspired by everything from graffiti to music to cartoons, and those are just some of the colorful influences that helped shape his collection of Dallas Mavericks tops and bottoms.

To create her eye-catching Boston Celtics collection, Esther Wallace only had to draw on her own experiences as both a college basketball player and clothing designer. Her imaginative mix honors the team’s 18th championship win, as well as her own business, Playa Society.
Demit Omphroy shook things up with his refreshed take on the Toronto Raptors artwork. He created a ‘Baby Raptor’ in a depiction of a young person navigating adulthood.
The final addition to the collection, COVL x Miami Heat, is designed by D’ana “COVL” Nunez. She’s known for her clever use of color to overcome stigmas linked to mental health.
Just a glance at the entire lineup is enough to appreciate the sheer amount of effort and creative pᴀssion that went into designing each one. No matter your team, you’ll love showing up in gear from The Residency.
