The NBA's presence during Suga's solo world tour in celebration of his debut album, 'D-DAY,' further solidifies this exciting partnership. Fans and ARMYs can look forward to purchasing items from the SUGA x NBA collection through various channels including HYBE's Weverse Shop, NBA stores, and Mitchell & Ness stores.

The collection will be available both online and in select brick-and-mortar NBA Stores. For those interested, early purchase information can be obtained by registering via the NBA's website at www.nba.com/SUGAxNBA.
