Aside from on-court performances, the “arena arrival” has turned into a spectacle as players show up in their best fits and give us a sneak peak as to what shoe they might rock that night. Ultimately, players get to let their swagger talk before the ball tips-off.

The NBA’s fashion renaissance has turned the arena arrival into the red carpet.

We caught up with the Phoenix Suns forward at the annual Jump Ball Gala that features a silent auction, a dinner and an appearance from the team as they F274 money for local charities in the Valley of the Sun.

Take a look below at what the man with the most drip in the league had to say about balling in Kobes and signing with Converse.

Playing in Kobes

Oubre Jr.: It’s about the comfort level for me. The lightness of some of those Kobes and KDs is beautiful. To be honest, I feel like I can fly on the court when I wear low-tops.

Oubre Jr.: Look at my fit — but it’s nothing compared to what’s on my feet. That’s the Converse. It ties everything together for me. It’s that extra drip out of the water. It’s a blessing to be a part of that.

Who’s Fresher — Wave Papi or Book?

Oubre Jr.: I have to go with myself. You know, I was humble over there [in Washington]. Booker is a fresh ass guy — I’ll give him that. But, I’m going to say me because I put it all together and I’m passionate about that.

Oubre Jr.: Meshing with the team has been pretty easy. There’s a lot of great individuals on this team. A lot of great guys on that court. It’s been pretty easy to come to this situation and thrive. I’ve been welcomed with open arms.
