Fly
The Big Book of Basketball Fashion
By Mitchell S. Jackson
Equal parts photo-rich lookbook and cultural commentary, Fly: The Big Book of Basketball Fashion is the story of the extraordinary intersection of high fashion and basketball. Each chapter explores the style of an era and the cultural influences that shaped it, from the league's inception in 1949 to the high-fashion tunnel walks of today. A celebration of iconic NBA style and self-expression, it also explores power and politics; race, culture, and media; and the legacy of athletes as activists—figures who inspire conversations beyond how they play and what they wear.
