Basketball Legend or Fashion Icon?

Russell Westbrook is known as the fast paced point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder and the other half of Durant/Westbrook duo. However, he is now being known for his crazy or should I say "different" pre game and post game fashion statements.

It would only be right that Westbrook took an opportunity to create his own clothing line. In July of this year Westbrook partnered with Barneys New York, in cooperation with Jordan Brand, to create The Russell Westbrook XO Barneys New York collection. Multi-color Elephant print is a theme of his collection seen on dri-fit shirts, basketball shorts, jackets, and sports tights. Along with popular fashion themes such as leather and color block. The collection also includes some items such as luggage, sunglasses, wallets, and shoes. Having an expensive taste is a requirement for purchasing these fashionable items. So, unfortunately his collection is not for the average bargain shopper. However, high prices has to equal high quality right? Let's hope so.

Now lies the question, will Russell Westbrook be known in the books as a basketball legend, fashion icon, or both? Either way, congratulations on the success Mr. Westbrook.



 To wear this outfit that Westbrook is sporting in this picture would cost you: $195 for the dri-fit running shirt, $215 for the dri-fit basketball shorts, and $165 for the sport tights.for a grand total of $575 (plus tax).
