Got a game on the court and style to match? Washington Wizard Kyle Kuzma has 'ultra instinct' in both hoops and fashion.
Ballin' and stylin' are part of the NBA, and Washington Wizard Kyle Kuzma is here to show he's rocking both worlds like a total game-changer.
At his recent press conference in Manila during his three-day visit, the former Los Angeles Lakers standout shared the story of how he unearthed his passion for the arts.
“I’ve always been interested in art since I was a kid. I used to draw as a kid a lot in elementary,” Kuzma said.
The NBA champ also revealed how the Anime television series, Dragon Ball Z sparked his journey to becoming the fashion icon he is today.
“I used to carry a notebook, drawing Anime characters like Dragon Ball Z and certain landscapes and houses and stuff. I think naturally, being that way as a kid made me who I am today,” he added.
Kyle Kuzma, always pushing fashion boundaries, once stole the spotlight at a post-game press conference in an oversized pink sweater with sleeves that practically swept the floor. His fearless embrace of unique style has won him fans not just for his basketball skills, but for his bold, one-of-a-kind individuality.
In his interview with One Sports, Kuzma shared that Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf is a major fashion inspiration for him. If given the chance, he’d totally swap wardrobes with LaBeouf to channel that iconic style.
“I think he really has a good fashion sense. It's natural,” Kuz shared.
He’s also a huge fan of leather, declaring it as his ultimate wardrobe essential and the standout piece of his collection.
Beyond his iconic outfits and effortlessly cool vibe, Kuz has a serious fashion IQ. He’s all about understanding materials and staying on top of sustainability, something he’s totally seen in Asian fashion.
“I’ve always admired Asian fashion. I think the trend has always started over here. I think people in the East side of the world are very tasteful. They care about the materials, the fabrics, what they wear, how they present themselves,” he said in the interview.
Kyle, alongside his model girlfriend Winnie Harlow, has been a strong advocate for sustainability in fashion, championing the use of eco-friendly materials.
While fashion and basketball might seem like separate worlds, they’re both bound by art and an immense passion.
