Weeks After Getting Brutally Roasted at US Open, Trae Young Comes Clean on His Questionable Adidas Attire: ?Was I Even Allowed to Wear Them??

NBA and fashion go back a long way. With each generation, the fits have changed. In the days of Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain, formal attire was the norm. Rebelling against the pant-coat model, players like Dennis Rodman and Allen Iverson changed the way we view fashion on players. In the current era, the range and diversity of clothing have reached new limits. But with more outfits come more opinions from fans. For Atlanta starlet, Trae Young, this led to some online trolling.

Trae Young became a subject of interest recently when he dressed up for the US Open. What does he have to say about the online fiasco?

Atlanta’s No. 11 delves into his outfit choice at US Open

During the US Open, Trae Young appeared in a multi-colored Adidas fit. He wore a shirt that was divided into two distinct patterns, displaying various colors. These were combined with white jeans that had a black pattern along them. His white shoes complemented the trousers, overall creating a rather eye-captivating outfit. However, some fans blasted him for the choice of clothes. Some of them believe that his outfit looks odd on a golf course, where polo tees and plain-patterned pants are the norms.

The scintillating Point Guard sat down with Winston Nelson on his YouTube show From The Point. When the two were discussing his fit during the US Open in LA Country Club, Nelson pointed out that the club ?might be one of the if not the most strict on dress code of any country club in the United States?. This made Young wonder, ?Was I even allowed to wear them jeans that I wore?? To this Nelson replied, ?I am not a member there, I wouldn?t know.?

Then Young recollected, ?You said strict. I mean I didn?t see nobody else in jeans when I think about it?. From Nelson?s comments, it looks like the Atlanta Hawks Guard got a pass from the organizers of the tournament, perhaps due to his stardom. Young?s choice of wearing Adidas also came from the fact that he has a shoe deal with them.?

Trae Young?s endorsement list is huge

Like his outfit that day, Young’s signature sneaker is colored Peach Tree. The Adidas Trae Young 1 was released two years ago during the NBA Playoffs.

Apart from being a part of Adidas, the All-Star also has deals with Old Spice, Fortnite, Tissot, Body Armor, and more. This list spans deodorants, clothing units, and games, proving the wide appeal of his upcoming brand as a young star.?

His current base salary in the NBA is more than $40 million per year. The collection of endorsements and his NBA contract have shot his net worth north up to a whopping $50 million.

So, whatever he wears, Trae is clearly doing his thing. What do you think about his US Open attire? Do share in the comments below.
