Between the Super Bowl, NBA All-Star Weekend and the Unrivaled league’s return, our favorite athletes showed up and showed out with their Tunnel Fits.
This month, we saw a lot of textures, fur, and, surprisingly, quite a few men who used their clothing to make a bold statement. Keep scrolling to see this month’s installment of outfits, and be sure to come back next month to see whose looks made the cut.

Leave it to Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to remind us he’s an All-Star on and off the court. He arrived at the 75th NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles in a chocolate crocodile jacket, suede wide-leg pants, and an incredibly dramatic fox fur stole draped just so around his shoulders. “It’s all fake,” he joked, but the drip is definitely real.

Bad Bunny is truly a man of the people, wearing a custom look designed by Spain-based fashion giant Zara during his halftime show performance at Super Bowl LX. The cream jersey Benito wore over his cream-collared shirt and tie displayed his family’s last name, “Ocasio,” on the back, with No. 69 on the front, a nod to his uncle, who introduced him to the NFL, according to Vogue. Finishing off the look were his cream-colored slacks and his unreleased Adidas Originals para Bad Bunny BadBo 1.0 in white.

Is it even a Super Bowl if we don’t see Blue Ivy making her father Jay-Z take her content on the field? This year, the 14-year-old did her signature jumping pose wearing a black and gray Off-White™ varsity jacket, a white T-shirt under, baggy jeans, and Timberland boots. Her Balenciaga Neo Cagole City bag in denim makes me wonder how many of Beyoncé’s vintage City bags she’s inherited.
Seattle Seahawks rookie safety Nick Emmanwori knows ball, and it’s evident by his use of color. He showed up to play in the Super Bowl wearing a black undershirt tucked into leather trousers, the brown belt tying in the brown cracked leather moto jacket. The flashy lariat necklace didn’t hurt, either.
Emmanwori’s teammate, Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani, made more of a statement with his Super Bowl Tunnel Fit, opting to honor his Pacific Island heritage in traditional Tongan garb. Holani was born in Aotearoa, New Zealand, but he relocated to Los Angeles with his family when he was 3 years old.

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins made uh, well, a different kind of statement with his Super Bowl Tunnel Fit: handcuffs, a red prison jumpsuit, a Hannibal Lector-style face mask, and no shoes. Hollins also carried the high school football jersey of his team’s head coach, Mike Vrabel, in his cuffed hands.
Unrivaled BC Hive forward Monique Billings (seen above in slide 6) is making a strong case for wearing what appears to be a fur jacket backward. She paired the statement piece with a pair of graphic-print shorts, a glam choker worn high on her neck, zebra-print gloves, and finished strong with a metallic silver pump.
Miami Heat guard Norman Powell arrived at the 75th NBA All-Star Game wearing a custom-made Gunther Paris ensemble, styled by Paris-based stylist Hector Sudry Le Du of Services Paris. The 100% natural, recycled wool suit with a satin lining was bespoke and featured personalized embroidery, including Powell’s initials “N.P.” on the collar and chest, along with his mantra, “Understand the Grind,” subtly woven into the back of the design.

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker’s fit at NBA All-Star Weekend shows that monochromatic doesn’t have to be boring. His brown jacket, with its textured brown collar, doesn’t break the color line as the eye travels down to his brown slacks, ending on his sturdy brown boots. It’s a really clean look.
