Tajh Ariza has always had game. Sure, his father was in the NBA but Tajh has been putting in the work to create his own name. Hes a five-star recruit hailing from Los Angeles and ranked top 10 in the Class of 2026. Oh, and he just collaborated with the legendary Nipsey Hussles The Marathon Continues clothing brand, making it TMCs first major NIL partnership.
If youre not on the Tajh bandwagon, we suggest you board soon.
The Southern California roots run deep for the 6-7 junior. Not only did his father, Trevor, win an NBA championship with the Lakers, but his mother, Lana, grew up on Nipsey and his impact. Now Tajh is forging his own path, not only with a West Coast staple, but also on the court at Westchester High School (where his dad starred back in the day).
The recently announced collaboration is very intentional. Comprised of graphic heavy tees, the limited edition capsule collection features designs inspired by both Ariza and his Westchester teammates. The color schemeconsisting of red, white and blackpays homage to Westchesters palette and Tajhs Japanese roots.
A bulk of the proceeds will go to support the Westchester High School basketball team, a local public school, and their efforts to grow as a program and compete nationally.
The debut of this highly anticipated Los Angeles alliance takes place tonight during the Westside Tip-Off Classic, where Westchester will be seen rocking the collection on opening night.
The late Nipsey Hussle had a dream of building up his community. While he is no longer physically here with us, his legacy lives on and Tajhs journey begins while carrying the torch. This newfound union between Ariza and TMC proves that.
To help support the Westchester basketball program, the Tajh Ariza x TMC Collection can be found here.
