How to Get Fire NBA Tunnel Walk Fits

Known as the NBA’s red carpet “tunnel walks,” aka the pathways connecting locker rooms to arena entrances, are launching major fashion trends, and the ‘Gram is here for it. Thanks to players in the business of building personal brands, who understand that off-court style is arguably as important as on-court performance, their “looks” are connecting the brands to important audiences in the most authentic way possible. We are not talking just posh sweatsuits and sweaty headbands. The tunnel walks’ fire fits that make the social handles buzz with excitement verge on the uber stylish mixed with over-the-top outlandish. Here are some of our favorite picks plus all the pieces to make you swaggy like a baller, courtesy of some of the best retailers at Aventura Mall.

Jimmy Butler

Let this image not fool you. Jimmy Butler knows fashion; there are plenty of tunnel walk samples where he serves the point clearly (Nobody does the printed suit like Butler. Google his co-ord look from the Vivienne Westwood Fall/Winter 2018.) Butler also knows a good product placement opportunity when he sees it. The esteemed coffee aficionado and owner of Big Face, a coffee brand, opted to seize the moment to push not only his merch but also the coffee itself. This monochromatic ensemble is working for us, especially when the summer heat hits. Here are some options to get the look.

Known as Baby GOAT, Herro is respected for his eccentric style that includes neon colors, animal prints and patterned suits. Herro is so smitten with fashion, in fact, he has launched a denim collaboration with Hudson, marking his first endeavor in the industry. Versatile, unexpected and youthful are the best attributes used to define Herro’s look. Though hard to pinpoint exactly, it can be achieved by simply going for statement pieces without worrying about their overall cohesion. Don’t forget the accessories. Herro loves his sunnies.

Lebron James

Lebron James - NBA

@kingjames

The visual library of Lebron’s greatest sartorial hits goes on for days. Unlike some of his colleagues, James’ style is all his own, never looking as if the clothes are wearing him. King James wears the clothes. His go-to labels reflect his sophisticated point of view and include such game-changing designers as Thom Browne, Tom Ford, Rick Owens, and Tiffany & Co./Nike collab to name but a few. For this tunnel walk, we are focusing on a classic: James in all black. Jaw-dropping as his athletic prowess.

Jarred Vanderbilt

@jvando_

Considered the GOAT of tunnel walks, Vanderbilt is the designers’ darling for his devil-may-care-as-long-as-it-looks-good attitude. Sartorially speaking, Vando is not afraid to push the envelope and won’t let color palette nor delicate details define his style. Always a fun one to watch for his joy of fashion and love of color.

Klay Thompson

Klay Thompson - NBA

@klaythompson

Klay Thompson does more than bomb threes. With his relatable yet elevated style, he has a serious fashion game. As the preppiest of the bunch, and an ambassador for Tissot watches, don’t expect much wild experimentation from the Golden State Warriors shooting guard. Think more Silicon Valley startup CEO. We now know that it’s his mother and his teammate Andre Iguodala’s wife who are responsible for his signature style. Thompson does know, however, that Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Common Projects, Amiri, James Perse and Paige are his favorite designers.
