Cheez-It® Takes Basketball Fashion to New Heights with Cheez-Fitz

In the intersecting worlds of fashion and basketball, Cheez-It® is making a bold statement. With the rise of 'Tunnel Fits'—the trend of stylish, statement-making outfits worn by players during their entrance into the arena—Cheez-It is stepping onto the court with the launch of the Cheez-Fitz collection. This unique and vibrant line is designed to celebrate both athleticism and love for snacks, featuring pieces that reflect the snack brand's iconic flair.

The Cheez-Fitz collection features a specially designed outfit worn by pro basketball player Rickea Jackson. Created by celebrated stylist Brittany Hampton, known for her stylish collaborations, the outfit showcases an extraordinary blend of bold colors and Cheez-It inspired designs. From cracker motifs to a pop of Cheez-It red, each detail is meticulously crafted to ensure that fans can express their passion for the snack in their fashion choices.

With the 'Tunnel Fits' trend gaining traction—searches for such outfits have doubled in recent months—Cheez-It is perfectly poised to capture this moment, infusing it with a fresh and playful twist. The collection includes a windbreaker and pants, complete with practical features that allow fans to store their favorite Cheez-It snacks, making them easily accessible while they gear up for the game.

Rickea Jackson, excited about the partnership, shared her enthusiasm: “Designing the Cheez-Fitz collection was all about combining fun and flavor into each piece. There's no better way to get hyped before a game than by having Cheez-It crackers within arm’s reach.” Her comment encapsulates the essence of the Cheez-Fitz collection—a blend of personal style, sporty elegance, and a love for snacks.

Brittany Hampton’s design philosophy resonates throughout the collection, emphasizing fun, flavor, and authenticity. “Every detail of this design pays homage to my streetwear style while reflecting Cheez-It’s iconic status.” The result is not just a clothing line; it’s a statement, an identity that allows fans of Cheez-It and basketball to express themselves through their fashion choices.

Fans will have two opportunities to shop for Cheez-Fitz items on July 17 and July 24, with exclusive pieces available at cheezit.com. As they don pieces from the Cheez-Fitz collection, they are not merely dressing up for a game; they are also engaging in a celebratory expression of both the sport and the beloved snack.

The Cheez-Fitz line is poised to become a must-have for basketball fans and snack lovers alike. According to Cara Tragseiler, Senior Brand Director for Cheez-It, “Cheez-Fitz gives our obsessed fans the opportunity to showcase their love for Cheez-It crackers to the court, literally. This collaboration with Brittany Hampton has created more than just apparel; it’s a fearless expression of fandom and style.”
