Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo front the Cactus Jack Vice City jersey and on court uniform, which the Miami Heat debut on November 18, 2026 against the Milwaukee Bucks. The game is Antetokounmpo's first against Milwaukee since the trade closed on July 6, 2026, and Adebayo's first against Tyler Herro since their July altercation. The retail Swingman is sold at Kaseya Center that night, limited to one jersey per ticketed guest.

Key Points

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo are the faces of the Cactus Jack Vice City jersey, six days before the Miami Heat debut it on November 18 against Milwaukee. Travis Scott's label picked the two players with the most history on the visiting bench. That night is Antetokounmpo's first game against the Bucks since the trade that sent him to Miami, and Adebayo's first against Tyler Herro since he struck his former teammate in Las Vegas in July.

Two Players, Two Versions of One Uniform

Cactus Jack shows the pair in two garments: the limited edition Cactus Jack Vice City Jersey and what the label calls its on court exclusive uniform. Both debut at A Night in Vice City, the Heat's home game against Milwaukee on November 18, with tipoff at 7 PM Eastern at Kaseya Center.

The limited edition piece is the retail Swingman. It is black with pink and white trim, puts a Vice City script on the chest where the Heat logo sits, and carries six pink stars near the hem. The on court uniform keeps the Heat name, with the game's map inside the wordmark, a flipped Nike Swoosh and smaller Cactus Jack details, because league rules limit video game references during play. Nike builds both under Nike's NBA jersey deal, which runs through 2037.

The numbers add a layer. Antetokounmpo wears No. 7 in Miami after 13 seasons in No. 34 for Milwaukee, and Adebayo wears No. 13. The first Bucks team to see the Vice City uniform will see its former franchise player in a number it never printed for him.

July 6 Sent Four Heat Players to the Other Bench

November 18 is the first meeting between the Heat and the Bucks since the trade closed on July 6, 2026, and ESPN carries it nationally. Miami sent Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis and three first round picks to Milwaukee for Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis.

Herro played seven seasons in Miami beside Adebayo. Days after the deal, ESPN's Shams Charania reported that Adebayo struck Herro on a practice court in Las Vegas, after confronting him over comments made on social media. The Vice City game is the first time the two share a floor since.

Antetokounmpo does not play in Milwaukee until January 28, 2027, with a second visit on March 12. So the reunion happens on Miami's terms, on a custom court, in a uniform designed by a rapper and a video game studio.

He arrives at it in form, and blunt about his team. CBS Sports lists him at 27.7 points, 12.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists a game. During a 4 and 6 start he told reporters, "Right now, we don't trust one another." He later told The Athletic, "My level of belief is 100 percent." The Heat beat Sacramento 114 to 108 on November 8 and Utah 115 to 109 on November 10.

Kaseya Center Sells One Jersey Per Ticket

The Swingman jersey and matching shorts go on sale at Kaseya Center on November 18 in limited quantities, and each ticketed guest can buy one jersey while supplies last. The Heat have not announced a price.

Reports disagree on anything beyond the arena. Sole Retriever says the uniforms are sold exclusively at Kaseya Center that night. Resell Calendar says the confirmed sale is in person only, with email sign ups open for an online drop. Grand Theft Auto VI launches the next day, November 19.

That cap changes who the photos are for. A jersey limited to people inside one building does not need a national campaign to sell out. Putting Antetokounmpo and Adebayo in it six days early is aimed at everyone who will watch on ESPN and cannot buy one.

Cactus Jack Has Reached Its Fourth Category Since June

An NBA uniform is the fourth kind of product Cactus Jack has released since June 2026. The label launched a Nike Total 90 collection for the World Cup on June 25, film merchandise for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey on July 30, and Oakley Chapter 001 eyewear on September 25.

The Total 90 release is the closest relative. A nation's gear came off the store once that team was eliminated, so the tournament decided what stayed on sale. The Vice City jersey ties supply to a live game too, since a ticket for November 18 is the only confirmed way to buy one.

There is a simpler reading of the casting. Antetokounmpo and Adebayo are Miami's two best players, and any team would put its stars in a new uniform first. The schedule is what gives the choice its edge, because the Heat picked the Bucks game for the debut back in October, before a single photo existed.

On November 18, the No. 7 in the quieter uniform plays the franchise that printed his 34 for 13 seasons. The louder jersey sells one per ticket in the building where it happens.
