Tunnel walks have transformed sports moments into more than just fashion statements, as seen when basketball star and style icon Skylar Diggins made her final entrance of the regular season in a one-of-a-kind Protein Puffer Jacket. Created in partnership with Milk and Fonco Studio, the Protein Puffer expresses milk's nutritional power as a wearable statement piece—the jacket boasts 422 grams of protein from real dairy milk.
At a time when protein is seemingly everywhere, Milk created this stunt to remind people of the value of milk as a source of not just complete protein but also nutrients and electrolytes to support movement, muscle repair and recovery.
Soon, the Protein Puffer Jacket will have a new home, and Milk is looking for a museum interested in the intersection of high fashion and high-performance.
