Update – NBA Fashion

Jordan has had enough praise lavished on his sporting skills to last several lifetimes. His promising baseball career and disputable golfing legacy aside, his prowess on the basketball court truly is the stuff of legend.

Divisive enough to garner an infamous Tumblr page, Michael Jordan’s fashion taste has garnered a new wave of scrutiny in the wake of ESPN’s multi-part documentary series The Last Dance.

However, Jordan has equally displayed an plethora of especially outfits with interesting proportions and garments — consider his perfectly-fitted Closed jeans from 2003.

To best view the Chicago Bulls veteran’s style, filter it through a contemporary, post-logomania lens.

Michael Jordan never really embodied normcore tenets, like the effortlessness of a grandpa at the airport or the self-aware irony of a Williamsburg scenester.

For years, Jordan has possessed fastidiously specific clothing preferences; he hired tailors to provide exact cuts, sourced premium textiles for his bespoke shirts and studied shirt cuffs created by international designers.

Reconsider Jordan’s maligned refrigerator-shaped tailoring — they hark back to Giorgio Armani and Gianni Versace’s billowing suits and predate the contemporary imposing silhouettes of Balenciaga, Jacquemus and Virgil Abloh’s Louis Vuitton.

“He knows what he’s rocking and styles himself,” said Marcus. “You can find him head-to-toe in a Jordan tracksuit sporting a high six-figure watch, driving a seven-figure car.

There is a certain je ne sais quois granted to people who know what clothes they like and dress exclusively to their own taste.

Heavyweight Western fashion labels, including Fear of God and

Off-White™ draw from general basketball style, both on- and off-court.

The NBA superstar was inarguably ahead of the curve in adopting heeled boots (at 6’6” no less!) and his mock neck uniform was a thoughtful twist on uniform dressing (more on this later).

Michael Jordan cares about clothing in the same way he cares about sport: no shortcuts, no corner-cutting.

Update – Market 

Bank of America Corp on Thursday sold a debut $1 billion corporate bond, the first from a global commercial bank with the specific purpose of financing parts of the health industry as it battles the coronavirus pandemic.

The debt offering fits within the “doing-good” or “sustainable investments” niche, but with the twist of being the first from a major bank to fund clients on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis.

It also adds to a recent shift in focus within the sustainable finance movement.

Already, the team tracked issuance of global new bonds with a “social good” at a record $11.9 billion in the first quarter of 2020, and sustainability bond supply at $13.4 billion for the same period, mainly as multilateral development banks rushed to finance their coronavirus response.

Executed in sturdy denim and breathable cotton jersey, the items elevate classic American silhouettes with premium detailing.

Louis Vuitton recently donated 2,500 face masks to New York’s MTA staff.
