The NBA is undergoing a sartorial revolution. Yes, the majority of ballers still go way over the top. But the combination of David Stern's dress code and a new generation of Instagramming young guns has created an atmosphere of dressing well and stunting heavy. Which is why each week, we'll be highlighting the cream of the crop, from streetwear all-stars to suited-up hall of famers.
This week, the Bulls meet the President, Kobe remains as savvy as ever, and more.
Chris Paul
Good. Clean.
The Chicago Bulls
Now this is how you visit the White House.
Ben McLemore
So many on-point trends at once—the alpine boots, the patterned shirt, the chain—that it verges on excess, but what the hell, it works.
Kobe Bryant
Old Man Bryant gets in on the latest trends with a monochrome varsity. But why's he smiling? That's so unlike him.
Paul George
We'll never say no to cleaned-up chambray.
Jimmy Butler
“I don't think I look half bad dressed up a little,” said Butler. Yup.
John Wall
Memo to D.C.: fewer flag lapel pins, more star-spangled ninja sweaters.
James Harden
These dudes called each other up to coordinate what to wear that day, in a good way.
Moe Harkless
Nice beanie. Nice loosened tie game. Perfect team plane look.
Nicholas Batum
Casual blazer combos done right.
Johnny Manziel
See, when you dress up your cute-as-hell kids, that's double the style.
