There aren’t many athletes on par with Jordan Clarkson when it comes to fashion. Recently, he showed off his impeccable style while attending New York Fashion Week. He wore a Tommy Hilfiger enormous striped rugby jumper as he stood by the legendary designer’s side. He emerged from the hotel foyer wearing a Canadian tuxedo by Balenciaga from Demna and a big crucifix pendant by up-and-coming jeweler Alex Moss. He wore a sleeveless gray tweed suit jacket and skirt by Thom Browne to the Harper’s Bazaar Global Icons Portfolio and Bloomingdale’s 150th Anniversary party.

It shouldn’t be surprising to see a famous person like Clarkson wearing clothes by these designers. One of the Jazz star’s recent collaborations in the fashion industry, though, may come as a surprise. Clarkson is featured in Lululemon’s newest ad campaign.

Clarkson models a wide variety of the label’s wares in the “Your Move” ad campaign, from training-friendly neon yellow Pace Breaker shorts to more relaxed styles like tan trench coats. Clarkson sees potential for Lululemon’s next chapter, which may come as a surprise given his recent role with Ye’s Yeezy SHDZ campaign.

In all candor, they’re elevating the brand to new heights. Trends, workouts, or whatever it may be. Clarkson says Complex, “I think they are growing in all aspects of that. In particular, he loves the Parkway Insulated Coat he’s wearing in the photo shoot. To paraphrase, “that’s like my favorite piece ever,” he says.

Clarkson is the kind of celebrity endorsement that might really boost Lululemon’s status. His reputation as one of the NBA’s most stylish players continues to grow. Is he really the best, though? Even though he’ll probably also send flowers to players like Kyle Kuzma and Frank Jackson, he believes this to be the case.

Clarkson insists that “everyone got their own style.” To which she said, “But I think I’m the best dressed for sure.”

Clarkson, who will be playing in his tenth NBA season, will face his own challenges on the floor this year. Former Sixth Man of the Year Rudy Gobert has watched as Donovan Mitchell and the rest of the Utah Jazz have left the team. Clarkson’s nаme has also been included in trade speculations as of late, but he is committed to winning with whichever team he opens the season with.

“I’m ready for whatever happens,” Clarkson says. A player once said to me, “If I’m in a different jersey in a week or tomorrow I get a phone call and I have to put on whatever jersey it is, I’m just trying to win and take whatever team it is to the next level to hopefully win a championship one day.”

Read on to learn more about Clarkson’s thoughts on the offseason changes made by the Utah Jazz, his Lululemon relationship, NBA fashion, and more.

Please tell us more about your relationship with Lululemon. Just what is it about them that makes them the ideal business associate for your current venture?

The bond between them developed naturally. I had faith in this brand-new, groundbreaking concept. They really are elevating the status of the brand. Trends, workouts, or whatever it may be. I believe they are improving in every relevant area.

We see you today in the campaigning, I know. You are featured prominently in store advertising, including large window displays. As part of this relationship, will you eventually release joint clothing? Do you see yourself participating in that?

Who knows? Perhaps, since I always put my own unique spin on things like clothing and style. That’s fine to be uncertain about for now. Assuming they let me be myself, that is.

The focus of the ad is on emotional well-being. The value of physical fitness for professional athletes is often emphasized, but what about the significance of mentаl health?

It’s been significant in helping me develop professionally and personally. I’ve always been the one to put in the effort at the gym, starting my day there and staying there until I’m done. However, I’ve come a long way as a person since I started meditating and taking the time to focus on my breathing and mentаl processes. Honestly, it’s changed me for the better and helped me have a positive оutlооk on life.

Obviously, with all the games and travel, the season can be quite demanding. How do you maintain your sanity throughout the hectic holiday season?

As for me, I usually just take my time leaving. Isolating myself in a hotel room is a common occurrence. I appreciate the peace and quiet of a space. I close my eyes, take a few deep breaths, and focus on my external environment. Right now, I’m just trying to soak up as much of this experience as possible. That’s already there. The buses have that. In fact, there are instances when I don’t even use my headphones at all. I’m trying to tune out the world by shutting my eyes and listening to it instead.

Yeah. I’d Һit a wall of exhaustion. It finally dawned on me that we were in San Francisco. I can’t take the heat, guy. This is the outfit I have to wear to the game, right? I must hem these jeans, bro.’ [Laughs] Everyone wаnted to look like they were in sync. We all sent each other outfit photos and comments via a group text.

Your recent Thom Browne suit has been compared to Russelle Westbrook’s Met Gala dress. I’m curious if Russ has had any impact on your personal style.

Yes, in my opinion. Yet, individual tastes vary from designer to designer. This is a specialty of Thom Browne’s. We’re probably just adept at making the skirts seem nice.

Who crafted the enormous crucifix necklace you’ve been sporting?

That was made especially for you by Alex Moss. Many of Tyler, the Creator’s jewels are designed by him. I’m pretty sure he also made Drake a ring not too long ago. It’s neat how well they get along.

I also noticed that you were a part of the Yeezy SHDZ marketing push. How are you related to Ye?

Our friendship is fantastic. That’s very neat, in my opinion. Everyone around had an impact. I participated in that. We’re talking about Kanye. I thought that was hilarious.

I have a brief question about the tattoos you have. You started off without any, but now you seem to be completely protected. Why did you feel the want to explore that interest further and try out some tattoos?

This is something that has always interested me. All I had to do was locate the proper individuals. When I was younger, I didn’t want to have a bunch of strange tattoos that I’d have to cover up later. I feel that my thoughts ultimately worked out for the best. Eventually, I located a tattoo artist that met my needs. I made a minuscule beginning. There were two potential paths, and I couldn’t decide. There was patchwork at first. Then, I decided I wаnted to be very realistic. Everything related to my story will be collected here. That friendship also developed naturally and is now on par with my closest buddies. Steve Wiebe is his nаme. To me, he’s like a sibling. To me, he’s like a brother or a cousin. The gym is when we first crossed paths. I used to have a few tiny tattoos. After that, I was tattooed every day for a week. [Laughs.]

Which offseason acquisition are you most excited about?

The Lululemon trench coat is currently my most prized possession. Although it appears bulky, it is surprisingly light. Holy smokes. In a nutshell, that’s the best thing ever. Seriously. In the video, I wore it. It has a purpose and is something I could use on a daily basis.

Do you think you have the best wardrobe of all the players in the league?

Yeah. The catch is that everyone got their own loot. All of us have our own unique look. Me𝚗 like Frank Jackson pop up all the time. He seems to be riding his own wave. Even Kuz was able to catch a wave. However, I believe that I am the finest dressed. [Laughs.]

It’s amusing that you mentioned those jerks. Kuz and I were just talking, and he brought up you and Frank Jackson.

What a ridiculous idea. I’m a huge Frank Jackson fan. In my opinion, he is the truest to himself. I meаn, that is totally hоt.

Many clubs are reviving historic uniforms and strategies on the court this season. The Jazz are reviving an old look by donning purple mountain era uniforms. Are you pumped to use those in a game?

Sure, why not. Indeed, the shirt is legendary. Everything comes full circle. We’re seeing a revival of ’90s culture. Loose fitting clothing is the norm. In my opinion, it’s just the way things are. People will always remember when the Jazz wore their mountain clothes and made it to the playoffs to face Jordan. I believe the San Antonio Spurs acquired a strange relic. About two or three years ago, they brought back the fiesta jerseys. That you guys are bringing back all these classics is fire, buddy. You see folks wearing those jerseys on the field when you’re a kid. Now that you’ve made it to the big time, you can officially wear them. It’s completely different. It’s totally sick in my book.

As a Sixers fan, I’m still holding out hope that the team will bring back the Iverson throwback uniforms.

If those ever make a comeback, though, it will be the sickest thing ever. Pairing black and red together. Holy crаp. Those jerseys are incredible. And they can’t get them cut down to size. They ought to be massive, dude. As a result of the Lakers’ Showtime uniforms, Kobe sported a shorter short length. This means they can no longer avoid donning extremely loose-fitting shorts. Do the unthinkable.

In terms of the basketball season, there has been a lot of movement for the Jazz this summer. Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert are no longer with the squad. What are your thoughts on the upcoming season in light of all the changes?
