Travis Scott, Nike, the Miami Heat, and Rockstar Unveil Official GTA 6 Vice City NBA Uniforms and Air Force 1s
With just thirteen days left until the global launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, Rockstar Games' marketing juggernaut has collided head-on with sneaker culture, hip-hop, and the NBA hardwood. Rockstar has officially joined forces with Travis Scott (through his Cactus Jack imprint), Nike, and the Miami Heat to unveil a custom on-court Vice City basketball uniform alongside a trio of collaborative Nike Air Force 1 Low "GTA 6" sneakers.
Six Wanted Stars and a Reverse Swoosh: Inside the Miami Heat's November 18 Vice City Uniforms
Following our earlier report on why the Miami Heat will officially play as Vice City on November 18 at the Kaseya Center against the Milwaukee Bucks, the full design of the four-way collaboration with Travis Scott and Nike has now surfaced. Created for the special "A Night in Vice City" home game on the eve of GTA 6's PS5 and Xbox Series X|S launch, the uniform packs unmistakable nods to Leonida:
- Black and Electric Fire Pink Palette: Set against a pitch-black base with crisp white and neon pink trim, the chest features a retro cursive "Vice City" wordmark above the player number.
- Cactus Jack and Rockstar Branding: The left shoulder carries the official GTA 6 palm-tree "VI" emblem, while the right shoulder flips Nike's Swoosh backward in signature Travis Scott style, paired with Cactus Jack logos on the lower jersey hem and shorts.
- Six-Star Wanted Level Trim: In a direct tribute to Grand Theft Auto's maximum police pursuit rating, six neon pink stars run vertically down the side panels of the shorts and sit above the jersey's jock tag.
Retail fan editions,including Swingman jerseys, shorts, and a companion apparel capsule,are scheduled to drop on November 18, 2026, through the official Miami Heat store, Nike, and select retail partners.
Travis Scott x Rockstar Games x Nike Air Force 1 Low: Friends & Family Heat and $130 Retail Pairs
Alongside the NBA uniforms, Travis Scott gave fans a first in-hand look at the collaborative Nike Air Force 1 Low "GTA 6" sneaker. On the crisp white midsole, Nike's traditional "AIR" embossing is replaced by bold neon pink "GTA" lettering, while a removable pink-and-white $1,000 currency strap wraps around the toe box. An oversized white reverse Swoosh stretches across the lateral panel, complemented by six pink wanted stars stitched onto the heel.
| Nike Air Force 1 Low GTA 6 Edition | Materials & Colorway Details | Release Date & Price |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-Color / Pale Ivory (Friends & Family) | Sunset pink-and-purple gradient patent leather, woodland camo quarter panel, white reverse Swoosh | Unreleased to retail (gifted directly by Travis Scott to Friends & Family and select fans) |
| Black / Fire Pink | Black upper, neon pink Vice City accents, GTA midsole branding, 6 wanted stars | November 19, 2026 (Expected retail price: $130) |
| White / Fire Pink | White upper, neon pink Vice City accents, GTA midsole branding, 6 wanted stars | November 19, 2026 (Expected retail price: $130) |
While the eye-catching patent leather gradient and camo edition debuted by Travis Scott will remain an ultra-scarce Friends & Family exclusive, sneakerheads and players will get a shot at the Black / Fire Pink and White / Fire Pink retail colorways right as Grand Theft Auto VI hits consoles on November 19.
My Take
Seeing Rockstar's "VI" crest, Travis Scott's reverse Swoosh, and six pink wanted stars share the same NBA uniform proves once again that GTA 6 isn't just a video game launch,it is a full-blown cultural takeover. Between the November 18 Vice City jersey drop in Miami and the $130 Air Force 1 release the very next morning, expect SNKRS queues to be an absolute warzone before most players even finish installing the game on their consoles.
