Welcome to the GQ Sports Style Hall of Fame

Yesterday in Phoenix, GQ Sports opened the doors to a new kind of hall, reserved for the coolest athletes on earth: The GQ Sports Style Hall of Fame. The inaugural class? None other than February cover stars Deion Sanders, Allen Iverson, and Derek Jeter. Those three superstars joined us for a live event over Super Bowl weekend in Phoenix, where each legend got onstage for intimate, wide-ranging conversations about their careers. Superfans, GQ readers, and a whole bunch of top-tier athletes all joined to celebrate, with DJ Honey providing the soundtrack. 1800 Tequila poured the drinks, and State Farm showed up big with a photo booth. Wagoneer dropped off a brand-new SUV for yet another photo moment. And, finally, each of our iconic inductees donned their custom Thom Browne blazers and officially joined the GQ Sports Style Hall of Fame. Check out the highlights from this first-of-its-kind event below.

He was baseball’s unblemished victory machine—the savviest champ of his generation. And his icy-cool aesthetic defined an era. But if you thought Derek Jeter was gonna let loose once he left Yankee Stadium, then you don’t understand the much longer game he’s playing.
