Hoop Dreams

There’s nothing more classic in New York than the puffer. This set of jerseys-turned-vests draws inspiration from the city staple, highlighting the crosstown rivalry between the Knicks and the Nets, as well as the friendship between Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges from their Villanova days.
