Laser engraved & cut designs
Numbered back
Boxy americana fit
Leather allows heavy motorcycle style fit
Los Angeles Miuras front emblem, player numbers, as well as all other design elements present in the jersey are laser engraved and cut into the Cactus leather, which creates a sense of embroidery when sewn together. The use of black Cactus leather creates reinforcement on the construction of the jersey, providing motorcycle-wear aesthetics, and more Americana style in the sense of fashionable wear.
The precision of the stitching in the construction of the jersey ensures longevity and allows players to move with unrestricted agility and comfort, empowering them to excel in their game.
