This entry in style of the Italian brand in the NBA field is not surprising, given that last week in Milan, at the men’s show for next spring / summer, in the front row sat Corey Kispert, Bismack Biyombo, Wesley Iwundu and Josh Richardson; moreover, already at the 2021 Draft, a year ago, Scottie Barnes had presented himself with a white brocade suit of the brand.
