Equal parts stunning, photo-rich look book, and cultural
commentary, Fly 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: The league's
inception in 1949, pre-Civil Rights Movement, when the NBA was
mostly comprised of white players who wore suits and skinny ties.
The years following the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the birth of
funk and R&B when basketball fashion got flashier (think Walt
"Clyde" Frazier and Wilt Chamberlain wearing fur coats and big
hats). The Michael Jordan era of the 1980s and 1990s, with its
oversize suits. The epic Iverson/Hip-Hop years of the late 1990s
and early 2000s. And now to today, a time defined not only by
social media and high fashion's birthing of the tunnel walk (think
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Russell Westbrook), but one in which
athletes are idealized as style icons and activists, figures who
inspire conversations beyond how they play and what they wear.
