What started as a dress code turned into a billion-dollar industry.
After the infamous Malice at the Palace, the NBA was in damage control. Their solution? A strict dress code. But what was meant to “clean up” the league’s image accidentally sparked a fashion revolution.
From Allen Iverson’s baggy jeans to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s designer fits, NBA players turned the tunnel into a runway.
In this video, we explore how:
• The NBA’s darkest day changed fashion in sports
• The tunnel became one of the most profitable marketing spaces
• Players like Westbrook, Kuzma, and Curry built their own brands
• Social media turned athletes into fashion icons
• Other sports are slowly catching up
