Explore NFL Artist Replay, an art-meets-sport event with the Starter x Alex Yanes collection, panels, and community programming.
New Yorkers appreciate a good cultural mashup, whether it’s a Chelsea gallery opening or a late-night pop-up in the Village, and last night’s launch of NFL Artist Replay in Miami hit that same high note.
Imagine the creative edge of Tribeca, the polish of the Upper East Side, and the street energy of Brooklyn, all wrapped into one vibrant experience.
The NFL Artist Replay gallery blended heritage sportswear, modern art, and a fun-loving crowd that felt as dynamic as a weekend in The Hamptons before Labor Day. It was bold, emotional, and packed with the kind of flavor that East Coasters can respect.
Art Meets Gridiron: Why NFL Artist Replay Speaks to East Coast Creatives
The NFL Artist Replay program, curated by Kendall Hurns, goes deeper than a typical brand event. It celebrates Black and Brown artists, NFL players, and Legends who express identity “both on and off the field.”
If you’ve ever spent a Sunday wandering SoHo galleries or catching a panel at the Whitney, the emotional undercurrent here feels strikingly familiar.
Guests flowed through the curated gallery, trading jokes and relatable comments about how half their Brooklyn apartments couldn’t even fit the art they wanted. Meanwhile, the Starter Maker’s Studio let fans customize merch with patches and exclusive graphics. Think of it like the cool pop-up activation you’d stumble upon in Hudson Yards—if Hudson Yards had more swagger and fewer hedge-fund bros.
The Starter x Alex Yanes Capsule: Color, Craft, and Miami Flavor
The limited-edition Starter x Alex Yanes capsule shined like a burst of Wynwood color on a gray Manhattan day. Yanes’ signature style—bold hues, sculptural energy, and playful shapes—feels right at home in a Tribeca loft or a Montauk summer house.
Guests enjoyed a spread curated by Chef Amaris Jones of Chick’n Jones, which “is a celebration of Miami cultural vibe.” Translation: bold flavor with a fun-loving twist. The kind of taste that immediately makes you question why New York hasn’t figured out how to season things consistently.
This exclusive collection is available all weekend at the NFL Artist Replay gallery. For anyone used to navigating the limited drops of SoHo streetwear culture, this is your Miami equivalent.
A Celebrity Lineup with Manhattan Energy
The guest list delivered Upper East Side-level clout with downtown cool:
French Montana. Brandon Marshall. Carl Banks. Kendall Hurns. Alex Yanes. Marsha Elle.
It felt like the type of night where you’d leave your Central Park jog early because the group text said something irresistible was happening. And it was.
Saturday’s Legends Panel, featuring Brandon Marshall, Martellus Bennett, and Carl Banks, offers a raw conversation about creativity, identity, and life beyond the NFL. It mirrors the kind of intimate dialogue you’d find at the 92nd Street Y or a tucked-away West Village salon. (More on athlete-driven art at https://www.moma.org.)
Sunday’s Community Day, hosted with the Miami Dolphins, brings interactive art and family-friendly programming—it has the warmth of a Brooklyn block party with the polish of a Hamptons fundraiser, minus the dress code.
Why NFL Artist Replay Connects With an East Coast Mindset
From Greenwich Village to Chelsea, New Yorkers love spaces where culture collides. The NFL Artist Replay is built exactly for that intersection—heritage meets modernity, sport meets identity, art meets storytelling.
The event “was created to shine a spotlight on the artistry, storytelling, and expression that exist within the game and the people who shape it.” For East Coasters—who pride themselves on taste, curiosity, and a little bit of sarcasm—that blend feels refreshing.
