Napheesa Collier delivered a major fashion moment as the WNBA star commanded attention before the Minnesota Lynx vs. Connecticut Sun game.

Beyond the action on the court, fans also looked forward to seeing players in their pregame outfits which showcased their personal style.

Ahead of the high-stakes matchup between the two teams, the 28-year-old arrived at the Target Center proudly representing an NBA icon.

On Friday, the Lynx shared a series of photos on Instagram featuring the four-time WNBA All-Star sporting a head-turning outfit that perfectly blended style and swagger.

“J’s on her feet,” the caption reads.

The layering piece featured a minimalist design highlighted by the iconic Air Jordan Jumpman logo. On the back, intricate embroidery read “Michael Jordan 23 Six-Time Champ EST 1984,” adding a bold statement to the look.

In addition, the Lynx forward flaunted her fit frame in a white two-piece ensemble from Generation Bliss. The look featured an ab-baring bralette top paired with a mid-rise midi skirt with a subtle slit detail at the back.

To complete the Jordan drip, she finished the look with classic black-and-white Nike Air Jordan 1s which perfectly tied the entire outfit together.

Interestingly, this wasn’t the first time Collier strutted down the tunnel paying tribute to the former Chicago Bulls star.

During the Lynx’s game against the Dallas Wings on Wednesday, she stole the spotlight in a custom tube dress by Barnabas Mwaiko featuring a bold print of Michael Jordan.

Meanwhile, as Olympic gold medalist Napheesa Collier continues to solidify her place as one of the WNBA’s elite athletes, she also took a major step off the court by joining the Jordan Brand, the iconic apparel line inspired by the NBA legend.

The reigning WNBA Defensive Player of the Year signed a multiyear deal with the Nike subsidiary, marking a significant milestone in her growing influence in the sport.

“By joining the Jordan Brand family, I was becoming part of a legacy that has consistently redefined what’s possible in basketball,” she said in a statement following the announcement.
