Russell Westbrook’s Vintage NASCAR T-Shirt Revs Up Fashion Week

Racing and fashion are two things that people typically only associate with each other during the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix. NBA star Russell Westbrook is doing what he can to change that.

Westbrook apparently thinks motorsport and the world of fashion go hand-in-hand, and we’re not talking about F1 and all its glamour, but rather the homegrown American sport of NASCAR.

The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard posted a picture Wednesday showing him wearing a vintage T-shirt from the 1993 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season. What’s more, he was wearing the shirt at Paris Fashion Week.

Interestingly, scrolling down Westbrook’s Instagram page, we can’t help but think this is one of the coolest items he has in his wardrobe.

Racing imagery aside, an old-school T-shirt with neon lettering and a chest pocket looks much better than some of the other outfits he wears. Although, to be fair, that could just be because we don’t fully understand the appeal of high fashion.
