NEW YORK — Wu-Tang is for the children — and the Knicks.
Shaolin’s Finest has collaborated on ‘Wu York Knicks’ merchandise that will be released Friday, as part of the NBA Remix campaign from Bleacher Report and Mitchell & Ness.
The gear includes a Knicks hoodie, jersey, T-shirt and hat with the Wu-Tang Clan logo.
“Growing up in New York, of course the Knicks were our favorite team,” the Wu said in a statement to the New York Daily News.
The four other NBA Remix franchises linked with hip-hop artists from their respective cities this year are the Chicago Bulls (Polo G), the L.A. Lakers (Top Dawg Entertainment), the Memphis Grizzlies (Three-Six Mafia) and the Atlanta Hawks (Lil’ Baby).
The collection goes on sale Friday at noon at bleacherreportshop.com and mitchellandness.com.
No word yet on how much C.R.E.A.M.
Despite the enthusiasm (and paycheck) for the collaboration, at least one member of the Staten Island-based group said he ceased being a Knicks fan.
“When they did Pat Ewing dirty,” Inspectah Deck said in an interview with Showtime’s Desus & Mero from 2019.
