NBA All-Star Weekend is most well-known for, obviously, the gathering of the league's biggest talents for one game. There's also the Slam Dunk contest, the All-Star Weekend celebrity game (that manages to bring out a who's who and a "who's that?" of famous names), the A-list-packed front rows, and, for the style-minded set, a slew of special edition sneaker releases that will drain your bank account before you've ever laced-up a single pair. But beyond box fresh kicks, there's not a lot of menswear worth getting stoked over when it comes to ASW. Its no different from the Olympics or your company's retreat; event-based gear is rarely cool after the event for which it was made is over. But this year, there's a slew of actually-stylish, well-made wares that honor the weekend's festivities and wouldn't be out of place in your wardrobe in a week or, hell, even a year. Here are the five best we've seen so far:
Virgil Abloh, the mastermind behind Off-White teamed up with Nike on a tee that dovetails into the athletic giant's powerful Equality movement (the chest features multiple countries' flags stacked on top of each other). Like most of Abloh's hallmark T-shirts, this one is graphic, limited, and damn cool.
Fresh off of a holiday drop that brought Greg Chait's knowledge of all-things cashmere together with the iconic logos and colors of NBA teams, the Elder Statesman x NBA are doubling down on a fresh lineup of ASW-inspired merch like this cozy AF hoodie.
Adidas' mesh shorts are just like the ones the pros will wear for Sunday's big game and are the rare on-court piece that wouldn't look half bad off the hardwood, whether you're wearing them to the gym or to just sit on the couch.
We just told you that the future of the Converse Chuck Taylor is here, but it turns out the Modern Lux was just round 1 of the iconic shoe's new launches. For All-Star Weekend, the folks at Converse are rolling out a flashier twist on their newest kick, complete with star graphics (naturally) on top on a reflective-backed mesh upper.
The one jacket style you need in your outerwear rotation (if you don't already have one), in a neutral hue that will go with everything you already own.
