Thom Browne collaborates with Cleveland Cavaliers for NBA Playoffs

It’s a slam dunk for the Cleveland Cavaliers as they score bespoke menswear by New York-based fashion designer, Thom Browne.

Arriving at the stadium before their playoff with the Indiana Pacers, the 15-member team were spotted in coordinated Thom Browne ensembles- featuring made-to-measure grey twill suits and white Oxford shirts under cashmere cardigans. This display of sartorial unity was also present in their matching ties, black leather brogues, and signature Mr. Thom bags.

“This initiative with the Cavaliers is a cultural statement that speaks to the confidence and power of uniformity”, reveals Thom Browne - with each team member “representing this unique, strong, singular message”.

Founded in 1970, the Cleveland Cavaliers (aka the Cavs) are the professional American basketball team known for all-star players like LeBron James and Tristan Thompson, father of Khloé Kardashian’s new-born girl.

The concrete hallway where players are photographed before and after the game is known as the NBA equivalent of a fashion catwalk- one false move can catapult you to the top of the worst dressed lists. The team will continue to wear the suits on the road during the playoff season.
