Martin Garrix is auctioning off an autographed New York Knicks jersey he wore onstage in Brooklyn during the team’s historic NBA title run.
The Dutch EDM superstar wore the jersey on Friday, June 12 during the second of three sold-out performances at the Barclays Center as part of his barnstorming ‘Americas Tour,’ the largest headline run of his career. The show took place less than 24 hours before the Knicks and Finals MVP Jalen Brunson clinched the NBA title, their first since 1973, giving the jersey a dual significance as both a souvenir of Garrix’s New York run and a memento of a long-awaited moment for the city’s diehard basketball fans.
The size XL jersey bears the name “Marty” on the back and is signed by Garrix over the number 96, a nod to his birth year.

The Garrix item is being sold through MatchWornShirt, an online platform that typically deals in game-worn memorabilia from professional athletes. It marks the company’s first auction tied to a musician rather than a sports figure, according to co-founder Bob Zonderwijk.
“This is the first time we are offering an item from a musician on our platform,” Zonderwijk said. “Normally, we auction match-worn shirts from athletes, such as the shirts currently being worn during the World Cup. Music and sport have one thing in common: they bring people together around moments you won’t soon forget. Martin Garrix combines sports history, pop culture and emotion. That is precisely what makes the shirt extra special.”
The auction opened Monday and reached $3,246 as of Friday morning. Bidding closes Sunday at 6pm.
