Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Teams Up With Mitchell & Ness for College-Inspired Collection
Published on May 14, 2024
Travis Scott is going back to college — sort of. La Flame’s Cactus Jack company has teamed up with Fanatics, Lids and Mitchell & Ness to design the Jack Goes Back to School collection.
The NCAA-inspired capsule will feature collegiate merchandise from 28 different schools and is set to arrive at campus bookstores as well as Travis Scott’s shop and Fanatics’ website on April 4.
La Flame brings his unique creative vision to combine the tribalism of collegiate sports with streetwear for a full merchandise run of apparel including snapback hats, hoodies, T-shirts, shorts, sweatpants, crewnecks and backpacks. The limited-edition collection ranges in price from $68 to $160.
Some of the marquee schools on board include the University of Michigan, University of Miami, University of Kentucky, University of Alabama, Penn State University, University of Texas, Clemson University, Florida State University and many more.
Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin added on Instagram of the partnership: “This is major! My guy @travisscott and @cactusjack teamed up with @fanatics @mitchellandness @lids for the ‘Jack Goes Back to College’ limited edition collection!! Such a unique collab – fusing our university partnerships with Trav’s incredible vision and Cactus Jack’s high-end signature streetwear to give sports fans something they’ve never seen before. Can’t wait for launch on 4.4 on fanatics.com.”
Back in February 2022, Rubin’s Fanatics acquired Mitchell & Ness in a landmark deal that featured Jay-Z, Meek Mill, Lil Baby and the D’Amelio family as partners to complete the purchase of the lifestyle brand.
“Fashion is cyclical, but classics are forever,” Jay-Z said in a statement at the time. “Mitchell & Ness is a true classic. I was an early adopter of this brand, as well as a part of a departure from athletic wear. I’m proud to play a small role in bringing it back, and in some cases, introducing the authenticity and quality of the Mitchell & Ness brand to a new generation.”
