Nowadays, the outfits that NBA players wear into the arena get just as much attention as the buckets they are dropping during games. People have always paid attention to the sneakers players wear on the hardwood, but now they need to also make sure they're coming correct in the tunnel.
This season, we've decided to highlight 10 of our favorite NBA tunnel fits each week. Guys like LeBron James and Russell Westbrook have become known for their pregame style choices, but there are plenty of other players that should be on your radar.
Whether it is a rare pair of sneakers like the Off-White x Nike Air Jordan I or the latest hyped-up apparel collaboration like Cactus Plant Flea Market's recent Nike capsule, check out some of this week's best NBA fits below. If you want even more analysis of style around the league this season, make sure to check out the new season of Tunnel Takedown hosted by Racks Hogan, NBA champion Matt Barnes, and creative director Gia Seo airing every Wednesday at 5 p.m. EST.

Kyle Kuzma
Date: Nov. 3
Location: Toyota Center (San Antonio)
Kyle Kuzma showed up to his Nov. 3 road matchup with the San Antonio Spurs in a rather colorful fit. He can be seen here rocking a Just Don tie dye T-shirt inspired by the highly collectible Lithuania Grateful Dead T-shirts from 1992, a Rhude trucker cap to support his close friend Rhuigi Villaseñor, and some sweatpants and Puma Suedes to flex his recently-signed endorsement deal with the brand.
De'Aaron Fox
Date: Nov. 3
Location: Madison Square Garden (New York City)
De'Aaron Fox kept it cozy with this pregame fit pairing a floral Kith hoodie with Nike track pants. The obvious highlight is the "Zen Grey" Nike Air Yeezys though, a subtle flex to compete the ensemble.
Jrue Holiday
Date: Nov. 2
Location: Chesapeake Energy Arena (Oklahoma City)
The New Orleans Pelicans point guard must be a big fan of Noon Goons. On this night, he decided to layer a simple black logo crewneck with a bright yellow flannel over top. He kept it simple down bottom with black denim, and simple black and white sneakers.
Anfernee Simons
Date: Nov. 2
Location: Moda Center Arena (Portland)
The Blazers' second year shooting guard pulled out a black Supreme classic script hoodie from the brand's Fall/Winter 2018 collection. He paired it with the rarely seen "Gold Top Three" Air Jordan Is that dropped in limited fashion back at ComplexCon Long Beach in 2017, and a pair of distressed Amiri jeans—a choice that seems to be a favorite among many players in the NBA as of late.
PJ Tucker
Date: Oct. 30
Location: Capital One Arena (Washington D.C.)
Sure to be making plenty of appearances on this list throughout the season, PJ Tucker made the cut this week for his full Greg Lauren fit. The unique look isn't for everyone, but Tucker pulls it off here. A Just Don strapback hat and super limited N*E*R*D x Pharrell x Adidas NMD Hu from ComplexCon 2018 are worthwhile compliments too. Bonus points for the clean Kobe 4 Protro PEs in his hands he is getting ready to lace up later tonight during the game.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Date: Nov. 2
Location: Chesapeake Energy Arena (Oklahoma City)
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has certainly been making a case for himself as one of the most stylish players in the NBA thus far. A bright orange pair of Off-White x Chrome Hearts pants that originally released at Art Basel 2018 and the highly-coveted "MoMA" Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 are the highlights this time around.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker
Date: Nov. 2
Location: Chesapeake Energy Arena (Oklahoma City)
This Pelicans rookie walked through the tunnel making a statement for this road game against the Thunder rocking a vintage Detroit Red Wings cap, RSVP Gallery x No Plastic hoodie, classic camo cargo pants, and the original Travis Scott x Nike Air Force 1 collab in pristine condition on feet.
Ben Simmons
Date: Nov. 2
Location: Moda Center Arena (Portland)
Furkan Kormaz would be the hero for the Philadelphia 76ers later on in the evening for his game-winning three pointer, but Ben Simmons was getting the attention before the tip off with this particular outfit. He had on an Amiri sweater covered with wolves, and olive John Elliott denim. Perhaps as a shoutout to his close friend LeBron James, Simmons laced up the "Parachute Beige" John Elliott x Nike LeBron Icon pregame as well.
Caris Levert
Date: Oct. 30
Location: Barclays Center (Brooklyn)
Caris Levert plays in Brooklyn, but he was repping Houston on this night. Clearly a big fan of Travis Scott, Levert was sporting his Houston Astros New Era fitted cap collab up top, and olive green Air Jordan VIs on feet. Amiri denim and some Ksubi pieces finished off the look.
LeBron James
Date: Oct. 29
Location: Staples Center (Los Angeles)
Not only is LeBron James in absolutely peak form on the court notching his third straight triple-double last night, he has also been going crazy with his pregame outfits so far too. Here he can be seen rocking an Hermes cap, RRL jacquard overshirt, brown pants, and close friend John Elliott's all-white Air Force 1 collab on feet. Year 17 and James has clearly showing no signs of slowing down on or off the court just yet.
