Jordan Clarkson is balancing life on the court and on the runway.
Just one week after celebrating the New York Knicks' first NBA Championship in 53 years in New York City, the 34-year-old NBA star headed to Paris, where he walked the runway for Men's Fashion Week in the Willy Chavarria Spring/Summer 2027 show.
In videos shared on Instagram by The Cut and Willy Chavarria, Clarkson wore a blue jacket with a white unbuttoned shirt that showed off his tattoos and pink plaid shorts with loafers and high socks. He also carried an oversized pouch and sunglasses. His hair was styled in an updo.
According to the brand's posts, Romeo Beckham also walked in the presentation while Maluma was in the audience.

Earlier in the week, Clarkson was spotted attending the Rick Owens and Saul Nash fashion shows. He wore a monochromatic black look and a blue-and-white outfit for the respective events.
Clarkson's appearance on the catwalk was likely a natural next step for the basketball player, who previously opened up to PEOPLE about his fashion sense, particularly how he curates his stylish tunnel walk looks. His secret? It really doesn't take much to look that cool!

"I wake up after my nap and get dressed 15 minutes before I got to leave," Clarkson told PEOPLE last October while speaking to his collection with fashion brand Aldo. He added that his lack of planning allows him to express his most authentic self without being tied down to one aesthetic.
"I just don't have any boundaries," he shared. "And I'm going to feel whatever I'm wearing and I'm wearing it confidently... just free flowing."
Clarkson and his teammates — including Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, Josh Hart and OG Anunoby — took home the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy when the Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on June 13.
Everyone, from Timothée Chalamet to Ben Stiller and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani to Towns' fiancé, Jordyn Woods (accompanied by her lucky bag, which is now being honored at the Guggenheim Museum), attended the parade to celebrate the historic win.
