Forget florals for spring. From Nike Flyknit–style body-con at Alexander Wang to tech-mesh dresses at Lacoste, the cooler influence on the season's collections was retro sportswear. Off the runway, a nineties mood also held sway over local street style—varsity jackets, ubiquitous Adidas Stan Smiths—but look further afield and you'll see that one piece has emerged as the ultimate athletic throwback: the Chicago Bulls jersey, which this year alone has popped up on the backs of style setters from Paris to Hong Kong.

Thanks to Michael Jordan (and those six NBA championships), the Bulls epitomize a certain nineties swagger, one that street style stars around the world are in the midst of reviving. It began two years ago in Los Angeles (Miley Cyrus), then spread east to London (Jourdan Dunn), and now can be spotted on the narrow back streets of Harajuku. Whether worn with a red fur chubby or a matching Bulls flight jacket, the look is all classic streetwear and undeniably hip. Cult Korean label Beyond Closet even released a parody version for spring—“Bully," not Bulls—and Seoul’s street style mafia has embraced the trend with tiny, tot-size jerseys.

It's not just MJ's #23 that's getting playtime: Current point guard **Derrick Roses'**s #1 has been seen as far from the Windy City as Melbourne. And what timing! The Bulls take on the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight in a tie-breaking playoff game. Here, twelve stylish takes on the Bulls jersey to get you inspired for the big game (or at least look like you are).
