player ready...The interest in what NBA players wear grows with each passing year, and that extends to All-Star Weekend, when the league showcases its brightest stars and most extravagant fashion.
With the 2020 All-Star Game in Chicago next month, Jordan Brand was charged with creating designs for the league’s main event and banner weekend. The move was intended to add local flavor, and the result is an eight-jersey collection that leans heavily on the city’s history.
The red and blue All-Star Game jerseys take inspiration from Chicago’s flag and “L” train system. The flag’s six-point stars are featured on the leg and in the NBA logo on the chest, while the colors of each train line are represented throughout, including on the trimming along the lapel and lower portion of the shorts.
Jordan Brand also created designs for the Rising Stars game and All-Star Saturday, with original looks in orange and purple, respectively, for the USA and World teams and uniforms for the Celebrity Game (green and pink) and NBA Cares Special Olympics Game (brown and yellow).
With so many colors available to players throughout the weekend, they should have plenty of opportunities to showcase their favorite sneakers. Signature athletes often showcase new releases in the All-Star Game, so expect surprises. So far Nike has revealed releases from LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, Paul George and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
