What is MITCHELL & NESS?
The legacy of American sports
Founded in Philadelphia in 1904, Mitchell & Ness is an iconic American sports brand. Starting out as a workshop producing custom-made sports equipment, over the decades it has become a vintage style icon. Its DNA? Nostalgia for the 80s and 90s, a passion for the great US teams, and authentic expertise passed down for over a century.
A brand born of tradition
Originally, Frank P. Mitchell and Charles M. Ness created uniforms for American baseball and football clubs. Their commitment to quality and attention to detail quickly earned them the trust of professional teams.
Mitchell & Ness is first and foremost a story of artisans passionate about performance and durability.
From equipment manufacturer to vintage icon
In the 1980s, the brand reissued historic NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL jerseys, giving birth to the concept of retro sportswear. Fans around the world rediscovered the jerseys of Jordan's Chicago Bulls, Magic Johnson's Los Angeles Lakers, and the New York Yankees. Thanks to its respect for original designs, its premium materials, and its authentic details, Mitchell & Ness has established itself as the benchmark for vintage sportswear.
The streetwear revival
Today, Mitchell & Ness is much more than a sports brand: it is a streetwear icon. Its snapback caps, varsity jackets, and retro sweatshirts appeal to basketball fans and urban fashion enthusiasts alike.
The brand has been collaborating on a number of exclusive projects, combining retro style with a modern twist to create stylish, timeless must-have pieces.
