NBA stylist Courtney Mays is elevating Black men and women through fashion (Presented by Cadillac)
Sports Illustrated and Empower Onyx are putting the spotlight on the diverse journeys of Black women across sports—from the veteran athletes, to up-and-coming stars, coaches, executives and more—in the series,Stylist, designer and consultant Courtney Mays is the visionary behind some of the best-dressed players in the NBA.
“LeBron, Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony are the veterans of this movement. We’re paying attention to what they’re wearing as they arrive to the arena. Now what you’re seeing is the guys taking back their power,” Mays says. “I can dribble, I can dunk, but I’m also a businessman, or I have an affinity for fashion. Like you’ve seen Klay Thompson coming into the arena on his bike and Russell Westbrook, he really pushes the envelope with his style.
“I think Black people are the arbiters of style. Most of our country is based on Black culture’s definition of what’s cool, whether that’d be music, fashion or food,” Mays says. “Whether our counterparts realize it or not, they are idolizing these athletes, and they’re Black men and women. We can stand in that power if we allow ourselves to and use style to be in that conversation.”
