See all the details on suit designed for Westbrook
Now that Russell Westbrook is officially the 2016-17 NBA MVP following his historic season that included him breaking Oscar Robertson's triple-double record, Mountain Dew has found a fitting way to honor him.
The soda company partnered with designer Mark McNairy, who the Wall Street Journal dubbed "king of menswear collaborations" last year and who GQ has called one of their favorite designers, to create a "Triple Double Breasted Suit." It'll be made for the Oklahoma City Thunder guard to wear later this year.
Mountain Dew is also going to sell Westbrook MVP cans that'll only be available in Oklahoma City.
Here's more info on the suit's details:
- "42" on the jacket breast pocket, since that's the record-breaking number of triple-doubles he put up this past season.
- Camouflage was used because, according to Mountain Dew, they have a "rich history" with the pattern (plus, the flashier the better for Westbrook, right?).

- THEY is crossed out on the back of the collar as a nod to the "Don't do they, do you" slogan used in Westbrook's Mountain Dew ad that released before the 2017 All-Star Weekend.

- ":01" is on the inside breast pocket to recognize the clutch shots Westbrook has hit, including the incredible 3-point buzzer-beater game-winner he knocked down to cap off the game in which he broke Robertson's single season triple-double record.

It looks exactly like something fashion king Westbrook might already have in his closet.
