A chance to show off the Gucci knits and Balenciaga sneakers that now make up their unofficial off-duty uniform.

Not sure who to root for on and off the court? Golden State’s Steph Curry is no stranger to the fashion world. 

When Vogue profiled Olympic athletes last year, Curry shined next to supermodel Joan Smalls. 

And it is impossible to reference sophisticated style without mentioning the Cleveland Cavaliers’s LeBron James, who consistently sets the tone for impeccable suiting on the red carpet—which is especially impressive given his 7-foot wingspan.

The fashion and basketball worlds have seen a ton of crossover between other hard hitters like perennial favorite Dwyane Wade and wildcard Russell Westbrook. Wade can just as easily be found seated courtside in Chicago as front row at the Dior Homme show in Paris. 

Westbrook’s ability to pull off a Vetements pullover as effortlessly as a Thunder jersey has earned him covers of ESPN The Magazine and GQ alike. Team alliances aside, Nick Young is our breakout style star. Young’s command of streetwear brands like Supreme and emerging designers like Grace Wales Bonner have given him one of the league’s best wardrobes.
