You don’t have to be a NBA superstar dress like one. Despite having seemingly endless disposable income, most of pro basketball’s fashionable players have off-court sneaker style that fans can afford and wear daily.

Below are seven silhouettes worn by the NBA’s style standouts that you could add to your collections today.

Nike Cortez

One of the many looks Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Russell Westbrook enjoys, the Cortez is an undeniable classic. The nylon iteration of the shoe comes with a digestible $70 price point and multiple colorways.

Megastars including Westbrook, Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul and Philadelphia 76ers guard Jimmy Butler all love the Air Jordan 1. And while the iterations they wear may be tough to get, including the popular Off-White collabs, you can still pick up other iterations of the shoe now.
