Meet the fashion-forward stars of January’s best-dressed NBA players.
When basketball and fashion come together, it results in some of the most stylish players in the league. This month, we will highlight some of the most stylish players in the league who also possess remarkable skills on the court.
Starting off our list with one of the most talented players in the league, Jayson Tatum. The Celtics‘ star’s fashion sense seems to improve year after year. He effortlessly combines streetwear with athletic elements, often seen wearing the latest Jordan brand releases (a perk of being a Jordan Brand athlete). Not only does he make a statement during the tunnel walks, but his shoe game on the court is unmatched,especially when he steps out in his signature shoe, the Jordan Tatum 1 (Coming soon: the Tatum 2 release!)
Introducing the next player in our spotlight: Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers. From the moment he entered the league, he has made it clear that his fashion sense could be described as classic, with a touch of vintage. But don’t mistake it for being ordinary – Tyrese has truly elevated his fashion game this year, incorporating elements of complexity, uniqueness, and sustainability. On the court, he has been turning heads with his custom Kobe PE sneakers. It’s clear that Tyrese is a formidable presence both on and off the court when it comes to his impeccable sense of style.
No fashionable NBA players list is complete without “Mr. Aura“, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – the star player for the Oklahoma City Thunder. SGA has gained attention for his impeccable sense of style on the NBA court and at high-profile events like the Met Gala; it seems like he can’t miss when it comes to fashion. He describes his off-court style as unconventional. However, when he is playing on the court, he prefers a smooth, sleek, and vibrant look that focuses on performance. This can be seen from the different variations of the latest Converse basketball styles that he wears.
Jarred Vanderbilt, a member of the prestigious Los Angeles Lakers, is undoubtedly one of the best-dressed players in the league. His outfits reflect his confident personality, with a mix of vibrant colors, standout patterns, and a fusion of streetwear, high fashion, and athleisure. Vanderbilt has a skillful approach to combining different brands and materials to create a unique and playful look. On the court, he is often seen wearing an exclusive selection of player edition shoes and colorways from brands like LeBron, Kobe, and Nike.
Last but definitely not least, let’s not overlook Utah Jazz guard, Jordan Clarkson. His fashion sense has earned him a consistent spot on most if not all NBA’s best-dressed list. However, he never fails to bring a fresh and exciting twist to his wardrobe. His style is all about embracing free-flowing creativity and staying true to himself, whether that means sporting a kilt, oversized pieces, or simple wardrobe essentials. On the court, his sneakers not only improve his performance but also contribute to his stylish presence with the latest player editions of his favorite basketball silhouettes.
Although our January list may have come to an end, the fashion never stops in the NBA. Be sure to stay tuned for our February list to discover the next starting five of the best dressed players.
