After becoming the first player to average a triple-double since Oscar Robertson, Thunder All-Star Russell Westbrook was honored for his excellent performance with the MVP trophy at Monday’s NBA Awards.
To congratulate Westbrook, Jordan and Samsung debuted two ads, which perfectly saluted the Thunder superstar for his historic season. But while those two commercials are quite excellent, another one of Westbrook’s sponsors may have outdone both Jordan and Samsung.
Wanting to tie in Westbrook’s eclectic wardrobe in their congratulations, Mountain Dew teamed up with American menswear designer Mark McNairy to create the first-ever triple-double breasted suit. That’s right, Mountain Dew and McNairy are actually making a custom triple-double breasted suit for Westbrook that hopefully he will wear next season.
Here are sketches of the suit as well as more details:
- To highlight Westbrook’s clutchness with the shot clock running out, :01 is sewn on the inside breast pockets.
- In line with the “Don’t Do They” theme of Westbrook’s Mountain Dew commercial, the underside of the jacket collar has “THEY” crossed out in red.
- McNairy often uses camouflage in his designs, and since Westbrook also wears camo-apparel, it was an easy choice of color for the suit.
- The number 42, which signifies Westbrook’s triple-double record, is emblazoned on the jacket’s breast pocket.
With double-breasted suits not even being in style anymore, a triple-double breasted suit sounds like a bit much. But Westbrook can seriously pull off any look, and since this suit is being made with him in mind, it is an outfit that only the Thunder superstar will likely be able to rock.
