Uitgelekt: Miami Heat brengt iconische 'Black Miami Vice'-shirts terug

In the world of modern NBA aesthetics, few uniform collections have captured the imagination of fans quite like the Miami Heat's "Vice" series. From the moment the white "Vice" jerseys dropped in 2017, each subsequent release became a cultural event. Now, it looks like one of the most beloved iterations might be gearing up for a triumphant return.

A recent leak, brought to light by the keen-eyed jersey tracker @SacKings_Unis on X, suggests that the black "Vice Nights" uniform from the 2018-19 season could be returning for the 2025-26 NBA season.

The Evidence in the Stitching

The source of the rumor is a photo, originally posted by Instagram user @__2hands_shop__, showcasing what appears to be a brand new pair of the black "Vice" shorts. At first glance, they look identical to the shorts Dwyane Wade and the Heat wore during his "One Last Dance" season. However, as @SacKings_Unis points out, a small but crucial detail reveals these are a new production.

The key difference lies in the construction of the shorts themselves. According to the post, "The shorts for this season have stitching to the left of the 'MH' belt buckle logo compared to the 2018-19 edition that does not."

This isn't just a random cosmetic change. This updated stitching is indicative of Nike's newer shorts template, which incorporates a small internal pocket. This detail strongly suggests the shorts are a recent manufacture, not just old stock being sold off.

A Fond Look Back at "Vice Nights"

The 2018-19 "Vice Nights" uniform was the third installment in the groundbreaking series. Following the original white "Vice" and the pink "ViceWave," the black version offered a slick, nocturnal take on the neon-drenched theme. The stark black base made the "laser fuchsia" and "blue gale" trim pop like the neon signs of Ocean Drive after dark.

These jerseys were an instant classic and remain a fan-favorite, not just in Miami but across the league. They are the highest-rated amongst all Miami Heat jerseys on this website as well.

What's Next?

While this leak is compelling, it's important to remember that nothing is official until the Miami Heat or Nike make an announcement. At this point we cannot confirm the authenticity of the leak but we will try confirming with our sources as soon as possible.

For now, Heat fans and jersey collectors have a reason to be excited. The potential return of "Vice Nights" is a tantalizing prospect, and this small stitch might just be the first thread in a story we'll all be following closely.
