In February 2022, Rubin's Fanatics acquired Mitchell & Ness in a landmark deal that included Jay-Z, Meek Mill, Lil Baby and the D'Amelio family as partners to complete the purchase of the lifestyle brand.
“Fashion is cyclical, but classics are forever,” Jay-Z said in a statement at the time. “Mitchell & Ness is a true classic. I was an early adopter of this brand as well as part of a move away from sportswear. I am proud to play a small part in bringing it back and, in some cases, introducing the authenticity and quality of the Mitchell & Ness brand to a new generation.”
