Officially launched on Nov. 19, Toronto Raptors star, Serge Ibaka, has partnered with popular Canadian outerwear brand Nobis to launch his first fashion collection. Or should we say former Toronto Raptors star?
Sadly, Ibaka has announced he’s leaving the team on Sunday, for the Los Angeles Clippers.
This will also be Nobis’ first ever collaborative collection.
The unisex line consists of 9 limited edition pieces, which include a parka, bomber jacket, vests, hats, and scarves.
Serge Ibaka was involved in every step of the collaborative process. He helped to design each piece, using the high-quality materials Nobis is known for, plus his own personal flair. Fans of the Toronto Raptors forward won’t be surprised about Ibaka’s collaboration. He’s had quite a few iconic fashion moments. Who could forget the long scarf?
Serge even shares that “Getting dressed to me is an art, and I wanted to express myself through this collection and share it with my fans.”
So, if you are interested in this Toronto Raptors’ style, you definitely need to check out this Nobis clothing drop.
The fashion collection consists of earthy neutral tones, like grey, camo green, and black, with pops of yellow and orange.
The pieces are all premium quality, with water-repellent material, so rain is not a problem. The bucket hat even features his signature “Mafuzzy” catchphrase.
The entire Serge Ibaka x Nobis collection is now available online and in-store.

Other than the actual game itself, the great Toronto Raptors scarf-off of 2020 might be the biggest competition in basketball world right now.
And if you’re completely lost by that sentence, allow us to catch you up. In an episode of Holt Renfrew‘s “Avec Classe” with Uninterrupted, Toronto Raptors Serge Ibaka and OG Anunoby go head-to-head over who started the scarf trend.
The two go back and forth over who has better style, when Anunoby fires off, “I put you on scarves.” He continues, “You saw me in my scarf, you were like ‘that scarf’s fire, I’m gonna get one too.'”
And just to prove a point to his teammate, earlier this month, Ibaka showed up to a Raptors game at Scotiabank Arena with what seemingly looks like the world’s longest scarf.
But then Anunoby also showed up with a scarf, making it the greatest scarf-off of all time.
And now, the entire Toronto Raptors team is on scarves, thanks to Ibaka.
Just yesterday, Ibaka, who is a Nobis global ambassador, surprised his teammates with super long — we’re talking six-feet long — oversized, double-faced camo print and Atomic Orange scarves, which you can see featured on his Instagram page with the caption “big scarf energy team.”
Luckily, for those looking to join the big scarf energy team, you can pick up one of the scarves for yourself.
You can shop the limited edition #BigScarfEnergy piece exclusively at Nobis.
The scarf Serge Ibaka gifted to the team is available for $250 and exclusively sold in Canada on Nobis.com. Shop it here while you can — it’s sure to sell out!

If you’re still buzzing from the Raptors’ big championship win, you’ll be happy to hear that there’s a special opportunity to meet one of the NBA champions this summer.
NBA Champion and Toronto Raptor, Serge Ibaka, will be making a special appearance in Toronto on August 1, 2019.
While many players are taking much-deserved vacations after the historic Toronto Raptors Championship win, Ibaka is taking the time to give back to the community and the place he calls home. Not only will he be cooking up a storm for Charity at Square One Night Market on July 26, but Ibaka will soon be headed to Yorkville for an equally noble cause.
The stylish basketball player recently put his design skills to the test for a partnership with Toronto startup, Topik Wear, to create his own line of men’s underwear, which will be launching on Thursday, August 1, 2019.

But the Topik Wear collaboration isn’t just any ol’ designer collection!
For each boxer brief sold, a portion of the sales will go towards benefitting the children of the The Serge Ibaka Foundation, which focuses on the bettering the health and education of children in the Congo, Toronto, and across the globe.
The launch will kick off with a 19+ launch party event on August 1st, and of course, Ibaka will be in attendance to talk about the foundation and his collection with Topik Wear, aptly named The Champion Set.
The Champion Set comes with three styles of underwear: Abec Class, Mafuzzy, and The Serge, and are each made for everyday wear.
There are two days for you to get up close and personal with the NBA Champion.
Both events take place at at The Lane at Yorkville Village (136 Yorkville Avenue, Toronto) and will have include a raffle that offers the chance for fans to win signed memorabilia. The 19+ party on Thursday, August 1 is a ticketed event, so if you’d like to party with Ibaka, be sure to purchase your ticket online. The ticket includes an invite to the private party, one boxer set with three pairs of underwear, unlimited food and drinks, one raffle ticket, and one gift bag. The event on Friday, August 2 is completely open and free to the public, and it’s said that Ibaka might be making an appearance to sign autographs — you’ll just have to wait and see.
