Kendrick Lamar & Willy Chavarria Are Serving West Coast Excellence for the Super Bowl
Kendrick Lamar is set to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, and he’s bringing more than just music to the stage. The rapper has teamed up with Mexican-American designer Willy Chavarria for a limited-edition fashion collection in collaboration with the NFL.
Chavarria, who has been making waves in high fashion, is fresh off his Paris Fashion Week debut, where he solidified his place as one of the most influential Latino designers of our time. Now, he’s linking up with Kendrick to merge fashion, music, and culture on one of the biggest nights in sports.
A Collection Rooted in Identity and Culture
This isn’t just merch—it’s a statement. The collection, produced in partnership with Lamar’s pgLang creative agency and the NFL, is a celebration of Black and Brown empowerment. According to Chavarria, this project is deeply personal.
“Kendrick performing is so monumental given his voice on the empowerment of Brown and Black people, and I love his pure L.A. heart,” Chavarria said in a statement. “We both have an unwavering voice when it comes to our people.”
Drawing from California’s cultural roots, the pieces blend streetwear aesthetics with high-fashion craftsmanship. Think satin bombers, graphic-heavy hoodies, and cropped mesh jerseys—all meticulously designed to honor heritage and resilience.
What’s in the Kendrick Lamar x Willy Chavarria Super Bowl Collection?
The hero piece of the collection is a balloon-sleeved satin bomber jacket with “KLamar” embroidered on the chest and “g.NATIONAL” lettering on the back, a nod to Kendrick’s Grand National Tour with SZA later this year.
Other standout items include:
- Lightweight practice jerseys
- Drawstring mesh shorts
- Super Bowl LIX hoodies featuring Lamar’s lyrics: “Foot Up On The Gas But Somebody Gotta Do It”
- Graphic T-shirts designed by Felipe Merida
Prices will range from $55 to $750, with the bomber being the most exclusive item—only 100 pieces are available, each hand-numbered.
A Drop with a Purpose
Beyond the aesthetics, this collection has a real-world impact. According to WWD, proceeds will be donated to individuals and organizations affected by the Los Angeles wildfires.
“Fashion has the power to challenge norms, start conversations, and inspire change,” Chavarria has said in past interviews. This collaboration is proving that once again.
