Around the NBA, new Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul is known as a fashionable guy. So it's no surprise that that the 9-time All-Star has teamed with men’s accessory brand Hook & Albert to create a collection of stylish accessories.
The limited-edition lineup includes a backpack, dopp kit, and weekend garment bag in two colors — either slate grey or midnight black with custom gold hardware. The accessories, known for their clean, minimalist design, are made of soft leather and include a chevron lining honoring Paul's late grandfather who was the first African-American man to own a service station in North Carolina.
Paul has also collaborated with Hook & Albert founders Adam Schoenberg and Cory Rosenberg on a collection of studded lapel pins in a variety of fabric colors, including a red-and-black checked edition.
The Chris Paul Collection, which retails from $30-$585, is available in Houston at Saks Fifth Avenue or on the Hook & Albert website. A portion of proceeds benefit the Chris Paul Family Foundation.

Oswald Peraza hit a two-run single in the ninth inning to help the Los Angeles Angels snap a three-game losing skid by beating the Houston Astros 4-1 on Saturday night.
Peraza entered the game as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and hit a bases-loaded fly ball to deep right field that eluded the outstretched glove of Cam Smith. It was the fourth straight hit off Astros closer Bryan Abreu (3-4), who had not allowed a run in his previous 12 appearances.
The Angels third run of the ninth inning scored when Mike Trout walked with the bases loaded.
Kyle Hendricks allowed one run while scattering seven hits over six innings. He held the Astros to 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the one hit coming on Jesús Sánchez’s third-inning infield single that scored Jeremy Peña.
Reid Detmers worked around a leadoff walk to keep the Astros scoreless in the seventh, and José Fermin (3-2) retired the side in order in the eighth before Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth to earn his 24th save.
Houston’s Spencer Arrighetti struck out a season-high eight batters over 6 1/3 innings. The only hit he allowed was Zach Neto’s third-inning solo home run.
