He looks like he's hailing a cab to the akira convention.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Michael Carter-Williams wasn’t all that accustomed to designing shoes with shark skin and broguing (that’s fancy talk for the perforations that stylize a pair of Oxfords or Balmorals). But he adopted the process quite quickly while working with Allen Edmonds to create a special edition MCW5 dress shoe.

“Yeah, this was my first time (designing dress shoes),” Carter-Williams tells SI.com. “I thought it was really interesting, all the different types of leathers, skins that go into the shoe.”

The collaboration started when the 2014 Rookie of the Year needed to improve his dress shoe options. After a connection with Allen Edmonds, he started wearing their shoes and liked the feel. “I got to build relationships with the people down there and they asked me if I wanted to make a shoe and I was interested,” he says. “I didn’t know what would come of it. I thought I would make something little and see where it goes and it ended up being a really nice shoe that a lot of people really like.”

For all their dazzling feats on the court, N.B.A. stars have somehow made an event out of simply showing up at games. The sports world and the fashion world cannot look away, even if the setting is an underground tunnel in, say, Oracle Arena — approximately nine million miles from Milan.

“Oh, it’s beautiful,” Sarah Oliphant, an artist who designs backdrops for fashion shows out of her studio in New York, said. She would not stage these N.B.A. arrivals any other way.

“These are high-powered people with megamoney behind them in every possible way,” Oliphant said. “But the runway is a linoleum floor and a concrete-walled tunnel,” and you can see Teamsters setting up in the background. She added: “I couldn’t have even thought that up. It’s brilliant. Whoever came up with this is brilliant.”
