The Vice City Jerseys Are Here, and Cactus Jack Is All Over Them

For a month, the most anticipated jersey in basketball was a silhouette with the word "Classified" stamped on it. That ended Friday morning. The Miami Heat posted the full reveal of the Nike × Cactus Jack "Vice City" uniforms — a 17-slide deep dive through the on-court jersey, the swingman, the matching shorts and every stitched detail — and the caption kept it simple: Heat × Rockstar Games × Cactus Jack × Nike, available November 18 in limited quantities at A Night in Vice City.

Two Jerseys, One Night

The uniform comes in two versions. The on-court jersey is the game piece: black, with HEAT stacked over No. 13 — Bam Adebayo's number — in pink outline lettering, the Robinhood patch riding on the chest. The swingman is the one built to move: the same black and hot pink, but the chest carries "Vice City" in a white-and-pink script, and under it sits No. 7 — Giannis Antetokounmpo's number in Miami. The retail face of this drop is the newest star in the building, and that is not an accident.

The Details Are the Story

Cactus Jack's hand is in the small print. The Nike swoosh is inverted — flipped upside down and done in pink, Travis Scott's standing signature on Nike product. The left chest carries a "VI" patch built out of palm trees, a nod to the sixth game and the city it fictionalized. Six pink stars run across the jock tag, which reads "MIAMI HEAT CACTUS JACK EDITION" — the uniform is literally labeled a collab on the inside tag. And low on the shorts, stitched in pink thread, is the Cactus Jack cross mark, small enough that you have to be looking for it. The whole kit was photographed the way the campaign has run from the start: laid out over the hood and the open engine bay of a pink camouflage Coquette, GTA's own stand-in for a Corvette.

Why November 18

The jersey exists for exactly one night. On Wednesday, November 18, the Heat host the Milwaukee Bucks at Kaseya Center as "Vice City" — a full Rockstar Games takeover with a custom court, on ESPN, the night before Grand Theft Auto VI launches. It is also Giannis's first game against Milwaukee since the summer trade that ended his 13 seasons as a Buck, a run that brought two MVP awards and the 2021 championship. His No. 7 is the one on the swingman Miami chose to lead the reveal with. The Heat's Court Culture clothing line for the night has been on sale since October at $45 to $110; the jerseys themselves drop November 18 in limited quantities, and the team has not announced a price yet.

Plenty of collab jerseys are just a logo swap. This one is a grudge match, a game launch and a Travis Scott drop stitched into the same uniform — and in twelve days it stops being a photoshoot and becomes Giannis, in pink script, staring down the team he built his name with. Previously's GTA VI hub is tracking the launch countdown, and the Cactus Jack footprint keeps growing — a leaked Travis Scott Air Force 1 is circling the same launch window.
