Which Professional Athlete Won Men’s Fashion Week?
It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
July 17, 2015
It's almost surprising how long it's taken professional athletes to get invested in the high fashion world, given the lack of sartorial options available to the Big & Tall (and we've seen what can happen when they try to go custom). But if the past week proved anything, it's that a handful of athletes are really, really here for New York Men's Fashion Week. Below, a look at the select few ballers who brought out their inner #fashion, for better or for worse.
The Golden State Warriors' Andre Iguodala wore all black at Public School
While Memphis Grizzly Mike Conley took a chance on paint-splattered yellow leather
And Rudy Gay of the Sacramento Kings went graphic and low-key
NY Giant and NYFWM ambassador Victor Cruz went from comfy...
To avant-garde...
And then rocked a windbreaker at Ovadia & Sons
Before linking up with Amar'e Stoudemire and Tyson Beckford at Greg Lauren
Dwyane Wade was omnipresent, speeding between shows in a Mercedes SUV. Here he is with R. Kelly
And accessorizing with wife Gabrielle Union and some very Virgil Abloh headwear
Which are apparently his go-to NYFWM staples
And then cheesed with Dallas Maverick Chandler Parsons
Parsons was another NYFWM mainstay: here he is really feeling the Billy Reid presentation
And in his full look: waist-length beads and distressed denim
Eventually, Wade changed into a pair of houndstooth shorts
And hung out with a fan and Swaggy P
For giving us the most attractive front rows of any fashion week, maybe ever
