JOE WILLOCK WEARS RICK OWENS FUNNEL NECK JACKET
It’s no secret that when it comes to fashion, Newcastle’s Joe Willock rarely disappoints with the pieces he picks and to no one’s surprise, his latest fit is no different.
The midfielder has become the first baller in the game to drop a fit including Rick Owens‘ Gethsemane funnel neck jacket, priced at £1,435. Donned alongside Prada sunglasses, Marine Serre denim pants and Rick sneakers, it took the 22-year-old less than a day into the new year before turning up the heat on the rest of the players hoping to gain the reputation as the best-dressed footballer.

Since early, Willock’s style has been rated amongst the best if Instagram comments are anything to go by. Rocking fits including the likes of Chrome Hearts, Rhude, Marni, 99percentis and of course most recently, Rick Owens, in a sport full of Dior and Louis Vuitton hype, the Hale End produced baller is doing is different and long may it continue.
Wilfried Zaha’s style continues to evolve and the Ivorian recently dropped his hardest piece yet.
Back in March, we named PROLETA RE ART as one brand that footballers were sleeping on having been untouched in the football x fashion scene, but at last the Japanese denim brand has arrived.

The brand, worn by the likes of Lil Baby, Odell Beckham Jr. and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, ‘mixes traditional Japanese boro techniques with vintage processing to create pieces that give off the impression of wearing real-life art’.
The pieces can cost a minimum of £3,000 given the details and efforts to create each item and they’re not available to purchase from your everyday designer outlet, making their rarity in football understandable.

Zaha has taken things to a new level with his outfits in 2022, rocking brands such as © SAINT M ××××××, 1017 ALYX 9SM and Rick Owens among Proleta.
Had the 29-year-old not already been in the debate for the best-dressed in the Premier League, his run of fits since the turn of the year has most definitely changed that. Here’s to seeing what the Crystal Palace winger drops for us next.
Manchester United’s Jadon Sancho was back to his best with the drip this summer after being relatively quiet on the ‘gram last year.
The 22-year-old has dropped fits in Paris, Jamaica and L.A. recently as well as his customary summer private jet snapshots.

Uploaded with lyrics from Lil Baby’s track ‘In A Minute’ as the caption, Sancho was back to his best in the drip scene and offered a reminder of why there’s so much hype from young football fans for his Instagram uploads.
The United youngster is currently in Thailand for the Premier League club’s pre-season tour under new boss Erik ten Hag, who Sancho will be keen to impress as the Dutchman embarks on a new era at Old Trafford.
Whilst it remains to be seen whether he will do just that, JS25 had no problems impressing us with the fits this summer and long may it continue into the new season.
