BLACKPINK’s Comeback Celebrated with Exclusive LA Pop-Up from Fanatics & Complex
BLACKPINK is back in your area — literally. To celebrate the group’s long-awaited return, Fanatics and Complex are linking up for a first-of-its-kind drop that fuses BLACKPINK’s signature aesthetic with the legacy of some of the most iconic teams in the NBA and MLB. We’re talking Mitchell & Ness gear flipped with BLACKPINK’s unmistakable energy.
The <BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA> League Collection highlights hometown pride from Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, layering in bold design elements that feel both sporty and fashion-forward. If you’ve ever wanted to rock a Lakers jersey with a little extra edge or a Mets hat that doubles as a style statement, this is your moment.
The exclusive collection dropped this past Tuesday, July 8. If you’re in L.A., you’ll have the chance to grab pieces from Friday, July 11 through Sunday, July 13, Fanatics and Complex are hosting a three-day pop-up at Complex’s Fairfax flagship. Swing through from 11AM-7PM to get first dibs — because let’s be real, this stuff’s going to move lightning fast.
Los Angeles pieces rep the Dodgers and Lakers, while Chicago drops nod to the Bulls, Cubs, and White Sox. New York’s lineup holds it down with collabs on the Knicks and Mets. It's a smart blend of BLACKPINK's global appeal and each city's hometown pride.
This capsule comes at a huge moment for the group. BLACKPINK has basically been rewriting the history books since 2016, becoming the first K-pop girl group to headline Coachella (twice), the first to hit double million-seller status with an album, and the first Asian female act to top both the Billboard 200 and the U.K. album chart at the same time. Their reach is wild — over 97 million YouTube subscribers, multiple global brand ambassadorships, and a fanbase that spans continents.
And now, they’re making even more noise. With a new single on the way and another world tour kicking off soon, this pop-up is a sign of how far BLACKPINK has come and where they’re headed next.
By the way, this event requires an RSVP, so make sure to sign up ahead of time. Also, double-check the dates and location — it’s happening at Complex LA on Fairfax from July 11-13. You definitely don’t want to miss out. BLINKs (BLACKPINK stans) are probably already lining up. Show up, show out, and don’t get left scrolling resale prices later.
