Jordan Clarkson reveals why he picks his tunnel fit minutes before Knicks games image

Jordan Clarkson doesn't put a lot of time into choosing his infamous tunnel walk fit before NBA games. 

The New York Knicks guard, 33, has shared the secret behind his game day look, and it might come as a surprise to you. 

He doesn't put much stock in his fashion choice. In fact, he puts his outfit together a few minutes before he leaves for games. 

"I wake up after my nap and get dressed 15 minutes before I got to leave," Clarkson admitted to "People," declaring that his lack of planning allows him to express an authentic version of himself. 

"I just don't have any boundaries," he told the outlet, adding, "And I'm going to feel whatever I'm wearing and I'm wearing it confidently... just free flowing."

Jordan Clarkson on fearless fashion and 'not overthinking' the process 

Tunnel walks have evolved into a full-on fashion show for some NFL and NBA players over the years, and Clarkson has become known for his style both on and off the court. 

He made a statement back in 2018 when he repped a Thom Browne suit paired with shorts to the NBA Finals. 

The most interesting part about this look? The shorts weren't designed by the brand. Clarkson grabbed a pair of scissors and cut them up himself to stand out, since his teammates were repping the same sets. Talk about creativity. 

"I'm willing to wear anything that I feel is fresh," says Clarkson. "I'm not overthinking that process," he said. "I'm just coming to work and everything comes into fruition in terms of style."

The NBA star recently partnered with ALDO to create an 11-piece fashion collection, featuring everything from cow print western boots to checked loafers and handbags. 

 

Clarkson was selected as the 46th overall pick by the Washington Wizards in 2014. He was named the NBA 6th Man of The Year in 2021 and is currently signed to the Knicks.
