JOE WILLOCK DONS VETEMENTS & POST ARCHIVE FACTION
Fresh from scoring in back to back games and running it back to his goalscoring form of last season, Newcastle midfielder Joe Willock has continued his hot streak but on this occasion, it’s off the pitch.
Snapped in a Vetements royal blue logo sweater, Post Archive Fashion 4.0+ technical pants and Dior B25 runner sneakers, Willock once again proved his ability to debut new pieces from untouched brands in the football sphere.

That debut being South Korean and LVMH Prize-shortlisted brand, Post Archive Faction. Despite being undiscovered by most footballers, the brand first came onto the scene back in 2018 being worn by the likes of model Hailey Bieber and more recently, rapper Lil Baby.
The 22-year-old was also the first to don Rick Owens’ funnel neck jacket on Instagram, with most ballers preferring to play it safe with the what is now iconic Dior oblique puffer jacket. Having scored in back-to-back games as Newcastle continue to climb the table, the likelihood of more Willock fits increases, therefore making us a loyal supporter of Eddie Howe’s side.

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.
