Think baggy jeans, oversized shirts and…hats. Not fitted, more like, fedoras. Amidst all of this, a young LeBron James was rocking snapbacks, bling and extra large clothes off the court. On the hardwood, he was putting the Cavaliers on his shoulders, averaging 27.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game.

During the ’04-05 season, James earned his first NBA All-Star Game appearance. It has been almost 20 years, and LeBron has appeared in every single All-Star game since then. That’s a lot of buckets and a whole lot of fits to look back on. 

Here, we salute the King and his fashion statements along the way.

’05-06: Keeping it Classy

Even back then, ‘Bron was standing on business. In Denver, he rocked a pinstriped suit and the following year, he was stuntin’ in H-town with a beige ensemble that he paired with loafers.

’07-08: Iced Out

In ’07, ‘Bron matched the synergy of Sin City Vegas with yet another tux, this time pairing it with an orange scarf and shades. The following year, James opted for a more streetwear courtside fit while in New Orleans: a leather varsity jacket, jeans and bling.

’09-11: Streetwear Style

Back in 2010, James had people lining up to cop the LeBron 8s, and at ASW, he switched the loafers for kicks and black jeans.

’12-13: Lift Off

Just peep the “Galaxy” LeBron 9s, which first debuted at the Orlando All-Star Weekend in 2012. The colorway paid homage to the Kennedy Space Center in Orlando, FL.

’14-15: Synchronized Sock Game

Sock game crazy. ‘Nuff said.

’16-17: Crimson Comfort

In ’16, James set the vibe in Toronto with a knitted sweater, a button down and a fedora, while the following year, he brought out a crimson baseball cap.

’18-19: the Reign

In 2018, LBJ rocked the LeBron “Closing Ceremony” 15s, celebrating his reign as King while winning the ASG MVP that year.

’20-21: Diamonds Dancing

‘Bron was straight up flexin’ some serious bling between ’20-21, including bringing the ‘chip back to LA.

’22-23: Timeless Style

Historians will tell you that when ‘Bron rocks an all-black fit in the tunnel, he means business. NBA All-Star Weekend is no exception.
