MICHY BATSHUAYI COMES CLEAN IN KAPITAL JEANS
Michy Batshuayi has proven once again that footballers are evolving with the drip in his latest fit.
From the days of Gucci and Balenciaga logos covering athletes from head to toe, the Belgian striker is on a mission to bring a new wave to the game.

Snapped on a bus, the 28-year-old wore Stüssy sunglasses, Carhartt stone grey vintage jacket, KAPITAL indigo patchwork jeans with Converse’s Chuck 70 canvas low-tops.
Batshuayi joins Beşiktaş teammate Valentin Rosier in rocking Japanese brand KAPITAL, with its pieces still majorly slept on in football. Rocked by the likes of Odell Beckham Jr., Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Drake, the brand was founded in 1984 by Toshikiyo Hirata before being taken to new heights by son, Kiro Hirata.

Batshuayi’s recent run of fits have shown the baller is not afraid to rock items other ballers aren’t, such Brain Dead’s boxy knit stripe sweater and boxy knit stripe beanie whilst attending a basketball game back in February.

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.
