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
@nbafashionfits
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.
Available at Givenchy
Givenchy Reflective Slim Fit Sweatshirt
This reflective sweatshirt is an example why the players love Givenchy. Reflective detailing is placed within the printed branding at the chest. A drawstring hood and a large front kangaroo pocket are there to make an impression.
Available at Givenchy
Givenchy Reflective Shorts
Featuring a cotton construction, comfortable elastic waistband, and details. A rear welt pocket on the shorts is also placed and treated with a 4G print. The reflective detailing at the leg along with the printed branding finishes the rest of the design.
Available at Burberry
Burberry Curve Belt Bag
An understated way to work current logomania trends, Burberry's black Curve Belt Bag is detailed with raised rubber lettering at the front. The adjustable waist strap, front zip-fastening pocket, top zip fastening, main compartment and buckle fastening make this an easy carry all with a lot of panache.
Available at Nordstrom
Harrison Terry Slide Sandal by Tom Ford
Ideal for the pool or beach, these slides scream posh comfort. Made from comfortable terry, they have an especially absorbent, quick-drying handle and the designer's initials embroidered on the top. They'll work just as well as loungewear paired with a bathrobe.
Tyler Herro

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.
Available at Gucci
Gucci Geometric Square G Print Silk Shirt
Colors and logos clash to create new identifying symbols in this Gucci number. A mix of colors and textures overlap to form new, unconventional designs in this piece crafted from light blue silk that features a geometric square G print, while a red torchon print enriches the hem.
Available at Balenciaga
Balenciaga Minimal Cargo Trousers
The distressed accents and worn-in effects on Balenciaga's light grey trousers evoke the label's rebellious attitude. These minimal cargo pants in light grey cotton ripstop are from the Look 51 of the Balenciaga’s Summer 23 Collection. This item is unisex so be mindful when putting it together with a top to balance out the look.
Available at Solstice Sunglasses
Pilot Sunglasses by Tom Ford
Channel sleek sophistication with these pilot glasses that can be both sophisticated and down-right trippy. Perfect for that Miami look regardless of your on-court skills.
Lebron James
@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.
Available at BOSS
BOSS Slim-Fit Linen Blend Suit
An elegant two-piece suit by BOSS menswear with silk-blend finishes anchors this look. Ideal for parties and other special occasions, this distinctive suit is crafted from a linen blend with stretch content for added comfort and freedom of movement. This clean-cut set is lined with iconic material.
Available at Nordstrom

CD Diamond Square Sunglasses by Dior

Available at Saint Laurent
YSL Vassili Zipped Boots in Python
Crafted from leather and python-skin, these Saint Laurent boots showcase a refined style, thanks to an elegant, pointed toe and tonal black colorway. The heel adds a little height for extra boost.
Available at Tiffany & Co
Tiffany & Co. Amapola Brooch by Elsa Peretti®
The little unexpected touches elevate this ensemble. Amapola is the Spanish word for “poppy,” and here it gets executed in an 18k gold and red silk brooch.
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.
Available at Nordstrom
Space Dye Bandana Polo by AMIRI
Space-dye colors bring fresh energy to the bandana pattern knit into a long-sleeve cotton polo made with crisp stripes framing the waist and cuffs. Extra zhuzh comes by way of button half-placket, spread collar and retro shape.
Available at Louis Vuitton
LV Relaxed Tailored Pants
These elegant lilac-tailored pants in certified wool have a relaxed fit. The front of each leg features a slit at the bottom with a hidden zip. This piece is signed with a tonal LV medallion on the left belt loop and can be worn as a suit with the corresponding jacket.
Available at Fendi
Fendi Low Shoes
Finish off your look with Fendi Domino sneakers executed in compact and lightweight design. Featuring fabric with jacquard FF pattern in black and gray tones, this may be the shoe you will be reaching for the most this season.
Klay Thompson
@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.
Available at Gucci
Chain Print Hooded Sweatshirt
In each collection, the Gucci logo continues to evolve in new ways. This grey felted cotton-jersey sweatshirt has a new interpretation of the logo called Gucci chain print and makes for a clean and understated take on the often over-the-top brand styling.
Available at Louis Vuitton
LV Regular Denim Pants
These organic cotton denim pants offer a smart hybrid between jeans and chinos, with Italian pockets at the front and this season's pointed ogive pockets at the back. Metal rivets, contrasting stitching and a nubuck LV jacquard reference classic jeans detailing.
Available at Maison Margiela
Maison Margiela New Evolution Trainers
Crafted in canvas, calfskin and suede leather, the New Evolution sneakers feature a cleated front sole and a decorticated design with double laces that create a layered and distressed effect. The numeric logo appears on the tongue, and the back is adorned with white stitching, a signature of Maison Margiela.
Available at Bloomingdale’s
Telemeter 1938 Chronograph by Tissot
Typical of the period, this large 37mm chronograph watch features a gilt/black dial with large Arabic numerals, as well as multiple scales – a snailed tachymeter in the center and a telemeter at the periphery. Quite the classic that goes well with everything.
