John Cotton—better known across the globe as "Jae Tips"—has been delivering his take on "cool" for a handful of years. Although recent history has seen him become a household name through his Saucony Originals partnership, the Bronx-native first earned widespread attention through his work on fitted baseball caps.
Ahead of the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend, the 30-something-year-old creative has unveiled an extensive collection that'll have his day-ones lined up: a multi-franchise collaboration of New Era caps by his Savior Worldwide imprint.

As with some of Jae Tips' other projects, the latest collaboration with the National Basketball Association is steeped in nostalgia. An early preview of a design for the Orlando Magic was captioned with "T-mac in Orlando," nodding to the early aughts (2000-04), a time that saw Tracy McGrady was a repeat NBA All-Star. Caps for the Charlotte Hornet, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and other teams also don similar star-clad designs, rounded out with thematic patches on the right-hand side.
Jae Tips' ASW-timed collection also includes Pre-Curved New Era caps donning white, grey, and light brown camouflage patterns on the crown.
Check out the product lineup ahead. Jae Tips and New Era will be present at Foot Locker Takeover held at L.A. Live between Feb. 12-15. The Bronx-native will host a hat customization station open to the public.
If you miss out in-person, you should be able to shop Jae Tips' collection via StockX.com soon.
