Tyrese Haliburton (Indiana Pacers)
Tyrese Haliburton, the Indiana Pacers point guard, typically favors a classic style, but recently he’s been embracing experimentation. Lately, he’s been pushing boundaries with outerwear, exploring different lengths and textures. A notable instance was on Sunday night, when he confidently sported a double-breasted fall 2022 Prada coat priced at approximately $3,000, paired with what appears to be a Hermès Togo HAC Birkin 40 bag valued at around $12,000.
Despite his experimental outerwear, he maintains a classic touch with subtle denim and timeless shoes. The Prada coat not only adds dimension to his ensemble but also injects personality into his look. Haliburton’s transition from his usual classic style to a more experimental approach reflects his evolving fashion sensibilities.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Oklahoma City Thunder)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, representing the Oklahoma City Thunder, maintains a consistent and refined style. Unlike many of his peers, his Instagram feed isn’t filled with jersey photos, but rather, carefully curated outfit snapshots.
Gilgeous-Alexander is often seen sporting the hottest brands, from Louis Vuitton to Thom Browne. Recently, he turned heads in a custom all-white Gruppo Vava jacket, a tribute to the late Virgil Abloh, paired with a simple tee shirt, custom white Chrome Hearts pants, and Balenciaga shoes. This ensemble reflects his ability to seamlessly blend luxury and streetwear. While the exact price of his outfit may vary due to custom pieces, similar Gruppo Vava jackets retail for around $2,000, Chrome Hearts pants for $1,000 and Balenciaga shoes for $800.
Karl-Anthony Towns (Minnesota Timberwolves)
Karl-Anthony Towns of the Minnesota Timberwolves, known for his standout performance in this year’s All-Star Game, flaunts his unique style in Rick Owens and Hermès. Despite his towering 7’0″ frame, Towns isn’t afraid to experiment with fashion.
Recently, the Timberwolves star turned heads in a head-to-toe Rick Owens ensemble, featuring a vest with strong shoulders and wide-leg pants, completed with a black Hermès Birkin bag. Prices for Rick Owens vests range from $1,000 to $3,000, while wide-leg pants can cost around $800 to $1,500. A black Hermès Birkin bag typically retails for $10,000 to $12,000. Towns’ fearless approach to style reflects his willingness to make bold statements both on and off the court, solidifying his status as a fashion-forward athlete.
Jaylen Brown (Boston Celtics)
Jaylen Brown of the Boston Celtics is renowned not just for signing the NBA’s largest contract, but also for his adeptness at elevating seemingly casual pieces with his distinctive style. With a keen eye for blending streetwear with sophistication, Brown effortlessly strikes a balance in his fashion choices. Recently, he turned heads in his own 7uice x Vanson Leather jacket collaboration, paired with Jil Sander pants and his signature 7uice x Bape sneakers.
Completing his ensemble with a luxurious Louis Vuitton briefcase and Oakley glasses, Brown exudes both confidence and refinement. Although the exact cost of his attire might fluctuate because of custom elements, comparable 7uice x Vanson Leather jackets typically sell for approximately $1,500, Jil Sander pants for $800 and Louis Vuitton briefcases for $3,000.
