The Most Stylish NBA Tunnel Fits from Opening Week

The Most Stylish NBA Tunnel Fits from Opening Week

The 81st NBA season officially kicked off this week—and while the Philadelphia 76ers were serving the reigning champion New York Knicks a fresh plate of humble pie on the court, the opening-week tunnel fits were just as cold. From LeBron James making his Sixers debut in a perfectly tailored navy suit to Donovan Mitchell’s polished brown-and-gray ensemble, the drip was at an all-time high. We rounded up the most viral looks that had the internet taking notes. Take a look!

Donovan Mitchell


In the Cleveland Cavaliers first game of the 2026–2027 season, Donovan Mitchell—and singer Coco Jones’s new husband—wore a sleek brown-and-gray outfit, accented by a pop of color from a designer bag and sunglasses that flawlessly brought the whole ensemble together. We see you, Don!

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander


Over in Oklahoma City, the Thunder’s star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander rolled up in an all-white ‘fit for the matchup against the Denver Nuggets. Fresh cornrows? Check. Burgundy bag? Check. Sleek black dress shoes for a touch of classic polish? Check!

LeBron James


LeBron James made his Philadelphia home debut against his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, pulling up in a retro two-piece complete with orange and red stripes, green-and-white Nikes, and a fly Louis Vuitton bag.

DeMar DeRozan


For his debut with his new team, the Denver Nuggets, DeMar DeRozan opted for a more casual look, pulling up in sweats, an NBA Essentials hoodie, and a black durag to keep his new cornrows fresh.

LaMelo Ball


LaMelo Ball understood the assignment and then some, showing out in a classic all-black ensemble elevated by a fly jacket and blinding diamond necklaces. Aura 10/10.

Paul George


Now this is how you pull off an olive green set! Making his Boston Celtics debut, Paul George repped his new team colors (well, almost) by pairing the set with a pristine white tee and fresh sneakers.

Devin Booker


Stepping out for the Phoenix Suns’ opening matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, shooting guard Devin Booker served effortless menswear perfection—pairing blue jeans and a white collared shirt with a sleek suit jacket.

Peyton Watson


Peyton Watson made his Cleveland Cavaliers debut in a pair of Loewe jeans, a blue windbreaker, and crispy white Air Force 1s.

Kevin Durant


Standing tall at 6-foot-11, Kevin Durant kicked off his milestone 20th NBA season against the Dallas Mavericks in tailored navy slacks, a striped collared shirt, and classic Chuck Taylors.

Jaylen Brown


No, Jaylen Brown wasn’t going hunting—he was just preparing to drop 21 points for the 76ers in a 114–106 comeback victory against the Cavaliers on Thursday. He stepped out in a monochromatic brown fit, complete with orange sunglasses to block out the haters.

Damian Lillard


Returning for his first game after more than 500 days away due to a brutal Achilles injury, Damian Lillard came ready to play in a fly yellow, red, and navy sweater paired with matching pants and snow-white kicks. We love how his sunglasses perfectly set off the citrus accents in the sweater—pure heat!

Kyrie Irving


Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving was all smiles heading into the Toyota Center in Houston to face the Rockets. He pulled up in a cream graphic tee, platinum necklaces, and a gold watch that looks very, very expensive!

LeBron James


Making his official debut as a 76er, LeBron James set the bar high in a navy blue suit tailored to absolute perfection. The ultimate detail was his luxury Louis Vuitton bag, finished with a personalized tag bearing his name, “Bron.”

Fred VanVleet


Fred VanVleet kept his look clean and classic, stepping out in an ivory long-sleeve shirt, light-wash blue jeans, and sleek black shoes for his game against Dallas.

Tyrese Haliburton


In another major return following a devastating injury that sidelined him, Tyrese Haliburton channeled serious biker and rock-star energy. Arriving at the Smoothie King Center, he rocked—no pun intended—a denim-on-denim Canadian tuxedo complete with sleek leather trim. Only thing missing is a Harley-Davidson!

Jalen Brunson


Reigning Finals MVP Jalen Brunson kept it low-key for his matchup against the Boston Celtics, stepping out to rep the franchise in a cozy Knicks hoodie, black sweatpants, and a matching cap.
