Carmelo Anthony Wears Stone Island's 20 Piece Saks Jacket

Carmelo Anthony wears a Stone Island jacket in bonded rubberized leather, a limited edition of 20 pieces sold exclusively at Saks New York and Saks.com. Liam Macrae shot it. Anthony was already in Stone Island's Autumn Winter 2025 campaign in cotton, and the new jacket is a second turn in the brand, this one with a count attached.

Twenty Pieces, Two Doors

The jacket is made in an edition of 20, and the only places to buy it are Saks New York and its website. Stone Island's caption introduces the wearer as a Hall of Fame basketball player and credits Macrae with the picture. It gives no product code and no release date, so how the 20 are split between the store and the site is not stated.

The material is the part with a history this season. In September, Stephen Graham appeared in the AW26 campaign wearing the Bonded Rubberised Leather Ghost, a coach jacket in sprayed lambskin photographed by Heikki Kaski. The Anthony caption uses matching material language. Whether his jacket is that pattern or a different cut is not something the post says.

Vera in May, Graham in September, Anthony Now

Three well known people have worn Stone Island leather this year, and they arrived by different routes. The Spring Summer 2026 campaign put UFC fighter Chito Vera in a textured leather jacket photographed by David Sims at his California gym. Graham followed in September in the rubberised lambskin. Anthony is the third, and his is the jacket with a number on it.

Vera's and Graham's jackets arrived through the brand's campaign. Anthony's arrives through a single retailer and a run small enough to count on two hands. A campaign look tells a season what the brand is making; an edition of 20 tells a store who is allowed to have it. That is a scarcity decision, and Saks is the one holding the scarcity.

The fair counterpoint is that nothing in the post calls this a campaign image. It reads as a retail drop with a famous wearer, and the numbers on how many of the 20 remain are not public.

Anthony Already Had a Stone Island Chapter

Anthony opened the lineup of the Autumn Winter 2025 campaign, alongside actor Don Johnson. Stone Island's own site lists him in the Q100001 Natural Cotton Gabardine anorak from the Raw Beauty project. The campaign was photographed by David Sims, styled by Max Pearmain and creatively directed by Ferdinando Verderi, and it ran under the title Community as a Form of Research, the same series that has since carried Skepta, Graham and others through AW26.

MR PORTER also ran a feature, "Welcome To Carmelo Anthony's New York", with Anthony taking the brand's AW25 collection through his native city. The feature presents him as a Stone Island devotee of long standing. That history is why the Saks edition reads as a continuation, with the New York wearer picking up a New York retailer.

The cotton anorak is a campaign piece. The leather jacket is a product with a cap.

Hall of Fame, Then Leather

Anthony was named to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2025 in April 2025, alongside Dwight Howard, Sue Bird and the 2008 US Olympic men's team, and was enshrined over the weekend of September 5 and 6, 2025 at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut. Allen Iverson and Dwyane Wade were reported as his presenters. The résumé behind it: 10 All Star selections, three Olympic gold medals, the 2013 scoring title, a place on the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, and 28,289 career points, 10th in league history.

Stone Island's caption leads with the title, "Hall Of Fame Basketball Player", before it gets to the jacket.

Liam Macrae Has Worked Both Sides of the Camera

Macrae is not a new name at Stone Island. He was one of the twelve people in the AW24 Community as a Form of Research portrait series, modeled the 462E1 Camouflage Nylon Rep Ice Jacket that anchored that collection, and shot the Navigation series in which the compass badge sits underwater among sharks, photographed in the Bahamas. The brand has used him as a subject and as a photographer, and here he is the photographer on a leather jacket that is supposed to be hard to get.

Stone Island has belonged to Moncler Group since March 31, 2021, when the Italian group closed its purchase of Sportswear Company for a valuation of 1.15 billion euro; the brand still runs separately from its owner. The Saks edition is a numbered release through one American department store, with a Hall of Famer in the picture.

What Is Still Unconfirmed

Stone Island has not published the jacket's product code, its release date, the size run or the price, and Saks has not said how the pieces are divided between New York and the site. What is on the record is narrower and firmer: the material is bonded rubberized leather, the edition is 20, the sellers are Saks New York and Saks.com, the wearer is Carmelo Anthony and the photographer is Liam Macrae.
