A new era of fashion is coming to New York.
After agreeing to a buyout with the Jazz following six seasons, veteran guard Jordan Clarkson will sign with the Knicks once he clears waivers.
Clarkson, who won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2021, adds a prominent bench scorer to the team’s top-heavy roster.
The 33-year-old also brings a sense of fearless fashion that instantly upgrades the team’s tunnel fits.
When it comes to rocking bold prints and patterns, baggy ensembles and colorful silhouettes, Clarkson has done just about everything with confidence.
Take a look back at some of Clark’s best styles before he brings the heat to the hallways of Madison Square Garden.
Last month, he took Paris Fashion Week for the men’s spring/summer 2026 season by storm, wearing looks by Rick Owens and Dior while attending the brands’ shows, respectively.
Clarkson always finds the balance between luxury brands, such as Balenciaga and Thom Browne, and hidden gem streetwear labels.
He’s also modeled for various designers, including Chrome Hearts, for different magazine spreads and photo shoots.
Clarkson doesn’t work with a stylist, though.
“I just felt like I could really let my creative juices flow if I came up with what my look is and who I am,” he told Boardroom in 2023. “I really take time to put everything into it and make sure that people can see my creative side when they see me.”
Clarkson said some of his style inspirations came from retired NBA guard Brandon Jennings, former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook and rapper Pharrell, the current men’s creative director for Louis Vuitton.
“Seeing Brandon [Jennings] being really involved with his clothing brand [Tuff Crowd], seeing him creating a whole brand & him being one of my closer friends, has been inspiring,” he told Boardroom.
Clarkson has attended Fashion Week in Paris and New York throughout the years, and he was the face of a 2022 campaign for the activewear brand Lululemon.
He often sports painted fingernails and wears diamond grillz.
During a recent installment of their “Roommates” podcast, Knicks teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart, and their co-host Matt Hillman unanimously selected Clarkson to their first-team all-fits MVP.
“The on court and off court swag, I’m going to have to go JC too,” Brunson said of Clarkson’s swagger.
“JC just oozes aura,” Hart added.
There aren’t many who are on Clarkson’s fashion level.
Some might say he could rival the legendary styles of Knicks great Walt “Clyde” Frazier, who’s known for his custom-tailored suits and bright PUMA sneakers while calling games at Madison Square Garden.
