Miami Heat Tease Vice City Jerseys Ahead of GTA VI

Why it matters
The franchise previously built significant fan culture around its popular Vice-themed aesthetics, making a collaboration with the Miami-inspired game franchise a natural fit. Video game promotions typically rely on digital marketing, but this physical court and jersey takeover represents a rare crossover into live professional sports. The event also coincides with a high-profile season for the Heat following the arrival of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
