The FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 marks an important visit for Filipino American basketball player Jordan Clarkson. Known for his edgy, eclectic sense of style, we also look back at 4 of his most daring fashion statement pieces.
Filipino-American basketball player Jordan Clarkson made a homecoming on August 8. On his second visit to the Philippines, he joined Gilas Pilipinas at the 2023 FIBA World Cup. The Utah Jazz point guard lent his talents to the Philippines’ national basketball team as a naturalised player. Heralded for his bold, statement-making moves on and off the court, Clarkson recently signed a brand deal with sportswear conglomerate ANTA. He has been exclusively wearing ANTA sneakers for the entire duration of the World Cup and will continue to do so in the upcoming NBA season, as reported.
The fashion scene is no strange territory for Clarkson, often dubbed the “best-dressed man in the NBA”. If there’s one thing he’s known for aside from his talent in basketball, it’s how to make a statement. Whether dressed in head-to-toe Balenciaga or blurring the lines between athletic wear and classic attire as he walks the runway for Lululemon, Clarkson is on the list of stylish athletes today.

1. Lululemon Parkway Insulated Coat
Among his other creative partnerships, Clarkson collaborated with activewear brand Lululemon for their 2022 “Your Move” campaign. He was seen walking the runway dressed in the brand’s Parkway Insulated Coat. While this piece was intended for outdoor activities, it has the aspect of a classic trench coat and gives a refined and understated impression of Clarkson.
