中文简介：

这既是一本照片丰富的时装手册，也是一本文化评论，讲述了从NBA联盟成立到金天，高及时装与篮球的非凡交集，并颂扬了NBA运动员的标志性风格。

每一章都探讨了一个时代的风格以及塑造这种风格的文化影响：NBA联盟成立于1949年民权运动之前，当时的NBA主要由穿着西装、打着紧身领带的白人球员组成。1964年《民权法案》颁布后的几年，Funk和R&B相继诞生，篮球时尚变得更加华丽（想想“侠盗克莱德”沃尔特·弗雷泽（Walt Frazier）和威尔特·张伯伦（Wilt Chamberlain）穿着毛皮大衣、戴着大帽子的样子）。20世纪80年代和90年代的迈克尔·乔丹（Michael Jordan）时代，他穿着宽大的西装。20世纪90年代末和21世纪初史诗般的艾弗森/嘻哈时代。如今，这个时代不仅被社交媒体和高及时尚的诞生所定义，而且在这个时代，运动员被理想化为时尚偶像和活动家，他们所激发的话题炒越了他们的比赛方式和穿着。

英文简介：

Equal parts photo-rich lookbook, and cultural commentary, Fly: The Big Book of Basketball Fashion is the story of the extraordinary intersection of high fashion and basketball, from the league's inception to today, and celebrates the iconic style of NBA athletes.

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.
