American Celebrity Chef Action Bronson’s Insane Transformation Is An Inspiration To Us All
American Celebrity Chef Action Bronson’s Insane Transformation Is An Inspiration To Us All

Ariyan Arslani, otherwise known as Action Bronson, is an American celebrity chef turned rapper. He’s also a TV show presenter, having hosted a talk show called The Untitled Action Bronson Show, as well as a travel program called Fuck, That’s Delicious, both on Viceland.

He has interviewed the likes of Mario Batali, Andrew Zimmern, Daniel Boulud, Rick Bayless, Grant Achatz on his shows and in September 2017 published his first book, based on his travel show (a cookbook, also entitled Fuck, That’s Delicious). In May 2021 he published another book called, F*ck It, I’ll Start Tomorrow.

F*ck It, I’ll Start Tomorrow is an original and empowering memoir (with a bit of self-help thrown in). In the book Bronson talks about his struggles with weight, food addiction, and the journey to self-acceptance, sharing all that he’s learned in the past decade.


“This isn’t a road map to attaining a so-called perfect body. Instead, Bronson will share his journey to find confidence, keep the negative vibes at bay, stay sane, chill out, and not look in the mirror hoping to see anyone but yourself,” Booktopia states.

F*ck It, I’ll Start Tomorrow is not about losing weight – it’s about being and feeling excellent regardless of your size or shape. It’s about living f*cking healthy, period.”

On that note: the 37-year-old has been putting his money where his mouth is lately, still enjoying his food and living his life, but working out like a man possessed in order to create some balance.

The result? The following transformation photo, posted to Complex.

Posted to Instagram on Monday, the image shows Bronson looking dishevelled and pained on the left; happier and healthier on the right. There are also two videos that show him working out to some hectic salsa music.


Comments show Bronson had inspired a lot of people. “Hell yeah”: Instagram user @deonpoint (general manager at sneaker boutique Concepts) wrote.

“Action Brolic” wrote entrepreneur Noah Neiman.

Further comments included: “Bout that action boss” and “happy to see Bronsolino healthy.”

Another wrote: “Good effort man. He loved his food and booze and weed. All about balance.”

Bronson’s Instagram page lately has been popping with lots of workout videos, giving followers an insight into how he is achieving his gains.


One, posted on May the 12th, simply reads: “THINGS ARE HAPPENING,” while others show the workouts Bronson is doing.

From bodyboarding…

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Bronson has lost about 130 pounds (59kgs), from a high of around 375 (170kgs), The New York Times reported in March.

“I was eating like I was a child, like I was a growing boy, anything in sight,” Bronson told The New York Times. “I felt good, but I knew I wasn’t in a good place. I could barely fit in this chair. My stomach would catch on the sides.”

“The same gusto and all-consuming fixation he has long brought to eating, Bronson now brings to his regimen: constant workouts, Spartan meals and just the barest helpings of rich food, when his TV work demands it,” The New York Times reports.


There’s your Tuesday dose of inspiration, served hot.

Jamie Foxx Spotted Cruising California In Surprisingly Road Legal Retro Sports Car
Jamie Foxx Spotted Cruising California In Surprisingly Road Legal Retro Sports Car

Jamie Foxx is a man of many talents: actor, singer/songwriter, comedian, television presenter, record producer, entrepreneur… There are few celebrities as prolific or multi-talented as the 53-year-old Texan, who is easily one of celebrity culture’s most underrated tastemakers.He’s got a similarly broad and developed taste in automobiles, too. His garage contains everything from exotic, low-slung sports cars like his Lamborghini Gallardo, McLaren 570S, Porsche Boxster and Bugatti Veyron to gigantic luxury landwhales like his Rezvani Tank, Cadillac Escalade and Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge – “England’s most unnecessary SUV”.But his latest whip is his most eclectic yet – and one that really breaks the mold of what to expect from celebrity cars. Foxx (real name Eric Marlon Bishop) took to Instagram late last week to show off his new Vanderhall Carmel GT on the roads of California: a retro-looking three-wheeled roadster that’s highly idiosyncratic and evidence that despite his whopping fame, Foxx still doesn’t take himself too seriously.

A post shared by Jamie Foxx (@iamjamiefoxx)

Founded in 2010, Vanderhall Motor Works is an independent sports car manufacturer based in Provo, Utah which specialises in hand-made three-wheeled autocycles. Think of them as an American counterpart to the well-known British Morgan Three-Wheeler or a more retro version of a Polaris Slingshot.RELATED: Classic Land Rover Defender To Be Resurrected By Most Unlikely Company EverLaunched in 2019, the Carmel is Vanderhall’s top-flight model, its most notable feature being the inclusion of doors (something other models miss out on) as well as a removable ‘capshade’ roof. Foxx’s, a GT model in ‘Ida Rose’ paintwork, additionally features leather seats, a wooden steering wheel and paddle shifters for the six-speed automatic transmission.Built upon an aluminium monocoque chassis, power is sent to the front wheels by a General Motors-sourced 1.5L turbo-four making about 145kW – a lot for such a small car. It’s a compelling formula, and one that’s obviously one that appeals to Foxx: this Carmel is actually the second Vanderhall in his garage, the star also owning a black Vanderhall Venice, which is slightly smaller compared to the Carmel.

It takes a lot of balls to buy a car that’s so idiosyncratic… And even more to buy two of them. Hats off to Mr. Foxx, we say – we just wonder if he’ll inspire more celebrities to invest in three-wheelers…Foxx is set to reprise his role as Electro for the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film Spider-Man: No Way Home. He’s also set to star in the upcoming sports comedy flick All-Star Weekend, which he also wrote and will direct and produce. See what we mean about multi-talented?

‘Unbelievable’ Etihad Experience Leaves Economy Passenger Furious
‘Unbelievable’ Etihad Experience Leaves Economy Passenger Furious

Eye-watering baggage fees are typically associated with the likes of RyanAir, EasyJet, Jetstar; TigerAir (remember them?).The bigger hitters, on the other hand, though they charge significantly more for a ticket, usually provide you with more baggage allowance than you can throw a heavily-laden Rimowa suitcase at, as part of your fare.However, as one Australian traveller recently took to Instagram to share, even though cabins (on flights leaving Australia) are super sparse right now, global carriers like Etihad will still savage you with fees should you go over the set baggage allowance.Brittany Hockley, ex Bachelor in Paradise star, podcast host and radiographer, took to Instagram yesterday to slam Etihad for how they handled her request to pre-pay for her extra baggage, claiming they wouldn’t let her pre-book her extra baggage, then scorched her with a huge fee when she tried to check it in at the airport.

Image: @brittany_hockley
“Because I’m working overseas I had to take an extra bag for equipment, so a total of two bags” Hockley wrote on her Instagram story.“I tried to book the extra bag online but the website wouldn’t let me.”“So I called up. They also wouldn’t let me. Said it had to be done at the desk. Asked for a cost for an extra bag, she ‘couldn’t tell me – she had no figures.'”“I get to the airport, they charge me an extra $1,000 for one bag. On an empty flight. $1k for one bag. So I asked if I have to pay an extra $1,000 now so I can at least upgrade. They said no, they can’t because ‘it’s a food thing.’ Actually unbelievable @etihad.”Hockley then followed up with another missive:“FYI First Class and the other cabins had a few people in there. I get that they need to make money but not being able to do it on the website OR over the phone then being stung for $1k at the airport and no upgrade when I’ve paid the money anyway and it made no difference, once on the plane…. seemed a lot. Like, $1k for an extra bag under any circumstance is redic.”

“Asking for the upgrade is not being ‘entitled’ but that’s what it costs to bid for the upgrade anyway.”

“The seats were empty. I’ve never flown anything but economy ever so would have been nice seeing as though I paid the extra anyhow.”RELATED: How My First Ever Business Class Trip Ruined Me For LifeA spokesperson for Etihad sent a statement to news.com.au commenting on the complaint.“Etihad is aware of this particular case and while we are disappointed that Ms Hockley was not fully satisfied with her travelling experience, we stand by the way this case was handled,” the statement read.“Ahead of the flight, our guest services team informed the passenger of the excess baggage fee per kilogram, which is fixed according to the end destination. It was also explained that as a codeshare flight, excess baggage had to be purchased at the airport.”“Due to the limited capacity available in support of critical cargo movements globally, there is, unfortunately, a premium on cargo and baggage costs.”“While we do our best to accommodate guests, it is not always possible to provide upgrades at the time of check-in, depending on the catering provisioned for the flight.”Airlines have lost a lot of money since the start of the pandemic. As Simple Flying reports, the aviation industry, some reckon, has actually lost all the profits it has earned since World War II.According to Simple Flying, “Speaking at a recent CAPA Live event, Executive Chairman of Air Lease Corporation (ALC) Steve Udvar-Hazy said the following.“The airline industry as a whole on a global level has lost everything they’ve earned since World War II. I mean, everything, all the profits that were hard-earned are gone.”“If it was not for government support, either in the forms of guarantees, equity, loans, all kinds of medicine government agencies have put forth, the airline industry would have been crippled.”

Conor McGregor Smashes The Workout Most Men Love To Skip
Conor McGregor Smashes The Workout Most Men Love To Skip

We feel it would be fair to say that most men who enter the gym take their ego with them. They just want to lift as much as possible all in the name of bragging rights. Naturally, lifting heavy for low reps does bring with it the eventual benefit of increased strength, but if form and technique is compromised just so that an extra 20 kilos can be added to the bar, it’s surefire way to get yourself injured.Social media has become an invaluable tool for workout warriors, as the various platforms are inundated with fitness gurus providing advice with regards to movements, technique and correct form. These gurus can come in the form of either industry professionals or even high profile celebrity athletes, with one such example being Conor McGregor.The Irish MMA fighter is no stranger to keeping his body in ridiculous shape, and he’s previously been an incredible source of knowledge for amateur athletes everywhere. He recently launched his McGregor Fast app, which is bundled with workouts and nutritional advice to help get you into similarly fighting fit shape. But his latest Instagram post promoting the app also brings with it an important lesson, and that is to say you don’t even need weights to workout effectively.

Your own bodyweight has the innate ability to provide enough resistance on its own for you to build up your muscles and strength, provided you know the moves to perform. And, while he doesn’t talk in great detail about the moves he’s performing, the images Conor includes with his Instagram post show a raft of movements you can perform that will help build your core strength.RELATED: Fitness Coach Reveals How To Replicate Your Exact Gym Workout At HomeSpeaking both from experience and from taking onboard knowledge from a wealth of industry fitness fanatics, we can comfortably recommend you perform and hold each of Conor’s movements for 30 seconds, and give yourself 10-15 seconds rest before attempting the next. Perform the sequence for 4 to 5 rounds and you’ll be working up a sweat in no time.Not only will performing these movements increase your core and overall body strength, but they’re essentially stretches too, and as we’ve learnt before, stretching is incredibly important as it engages the muscles to be put in their ‘prime state’. It’s when they’re in this state that they are going to make the most gains. This in turn allows you to eventually move away from using just your bodyweight and onto heavier weights.So, next time you take to the gym floor, don’t fall foul to skipping the essential workouts and thinking you’ll be able to lift big without consequence. Take Conor’s advice and start with your body first.You can’t shoot a cannon from a canoe.

‘Toughest G-Wagen Ever’ Goes Up For Sale In Sydney…& It’s Incredible
‘Toughest G-Wagen Ever’ Goes Up For Sale In Sydney…& It’s Incredible

Here at DMARGE, we love a G-Class (or, as the kids call them, a G-Wagen). Mercedes-Benz’s iconic, tough-as-nails 4×4 is an automotive icon – and an enduring one, especially considering it’s barely changed in the four decades or so that it’s been in production.We love G-Wagens of all forms. From the rapper-spec Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet to the classic two-door G 230 and of course, proper mil-spec G-Classes – they’re all equally valid in our eyes.Actually, that’s not true. Because we’ve stumbled across a mint example of what’s easily the purest G-Wagen ever: this 2018 G 300 CDi Professional. Short of enlisting in the Australian Army and specialising as a driver, this is the toughest and most legit 4×4 you can hope to drive (or indeed own) as a civilian. This ain’t no Toorak tractor.“The 2018 Mercedes-Benz G 300 Professional is a stripped out civilian version of the G-Wagens supplied to the ADF, a back-to-basics vehicle in the best possible way and a last hurrah before its replacement arrived,” Sydney-based dealer Classic Throttle Shop explains.

Check out the ‘poverty spec’ interior. Windy windows! Image: Classic Throttle Shop
This tough off-roader stands out like a sore thumb among the rest of Classic Throttle Shop’s inventory, which mostly consists of vintage exotic sports cars.“As standard, the G Professional includes a bull bar, snorkel, fog lights and black-painted 16-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tyres. And, befitting its workhorse job description, the vehicles comes a water drain plug in the floor (there are rubber mats in lieu of carpeting) so you can hose out the cabin after a cross-Simpson dash. The interior is barebones too [as] unlike the mainstream versions of the G, the Professional wagon has a four-seat layout with walk-through access to the luggage compartment.”RELATED: Crazy Australian Bastard Turns 70s Mercedes-Benz Sedan Into Fair Dinkum Ute“In keeping with the Professional’s intended purpose is a 96-litre fuel tank, two 12-volt batteries, tyre-pressure warning system, dirty air-filter warning, brake pad wear indicator for the front axle brake, headlight and indicator stone guards, and radiator and oil sump shields…. [Other features include a] walk-on bonnet, electric door mirrors, roof rack, heat-insulated and tinted glass behind the B-pillar, side running boards, towbar, a headlight cleaning system, heated leather seats and a radio/CD player.”Those last two features are perhaps the only touches of luxury this beast bestows upon its driver… Oh, and unlike most G-Wagens you’d see on the street in Australia (which are usually AMG models with forced-induction petrol V8s or V12s), the G 300 Professional is powered by a much more humble 3.0L turbo diesel V6 good for around 135kW and 400Nm of torque. It’s a bit more practical.
Its military DNA is apparent when you check out the luggage compartment. Image: Classic Throttle Shop
It’s very much the definition of less is more – especially when it comes to its asking price; a rather hefty $144,995. Sure, that’s a lot cheaper than a new G-Class, prices for which start at $233,900, but a new one has significantly more creature comforts than this bad boy. But that’s besides the point, isn’t it?As Classic Throttle Shop puts it, “it’s a slice of history, and you’d have a bonafide collector’s item on your hands as a significantly overhauled G-Wagen (rumoured to gain independent front suspension) is due to debut next year.” They conclude:

“A 4×4 that harks back to the ‘good old days’ when Land Rovers and 40 Series Land Cruisers didn’t need a track, just a compass bearing – this last of, best of and mint condition G 300 Professional is a very savvy choice.”

The real question is this: would you store it, or use it to its full capacity for some proper 4x4ing? We know what we’d do…Check it out online here or at its Carsales listing.

Revolutionary ‘High End’ Burger Trend Sending Australia Into A Spin
Revolutionary ‘High End’ Burger Trend Sending Australia Into A Spin

Australia is known as being one of the best places to try food from all around the world. It’s also (rightly or wrongly) known as having little culinary culture of its own (beyond Vegemite and meat pies).But smashing this stereotype into a million fatty pieces is the latest in Down Under culinary invention: Foie Gras Burgers.Taking to Instagram on Friday, one of Australia’s better-known butchers – Anthony Puharich – shared an image that got followers frothing: Foie Gras Burgers.

The Chief Executive Officer at Vic’s Premium Quality Meat – Australia’s premier meat wholesaling business – captioned the images with the following: “Foie Gras Beef Burgers available @vics.meat ONLINE now!!!!!!”.They are currently being sold online for AU $35. This gets you two beef (and foie gras) patties (weighing in at 190 grams per patty) at Vic’s online store.

Carnivore’s best friend, vegan’s worst nightmare. Image: Vic’s Premium Quality Meat
The description reads: “You will never look at a burger the same way. Our famous Black Label Angus burger patty, freshly ground using the best premium Australian Grass Fed Beef has been jacked up with the addition of Foie Gras de Canard.”“These patties offer buttery texture and exquisite flavour with the addition of a generous 30g slice of Foie Gras in between each patty.”

“Serving suggestion: We recommend keeping this one simple – caramelized onions, special sauce & lettuce will add balance and freshness to this decadent burger.”

On Instagram, many commenters could be seen licking their lips. Alongside Puharich’s post users wrote things like the following:

“Jesus sweet lord.”“Get in ma belly.”“Add bone marrow”“Is that stuffed”“Do you serve that cooked at the fish market?”

There were plenty of fire emojis and heart eye emojis too.Though many criticise foie gras for being cruel (see how it’s made here), Foie Gras Burgers have been greasing up the culinary world since at least 2001, when French chef Daniel Boulud decided to introduce his ‘DB Burger’  – a sandwich that “shocked the culinary establishment with both its US $27 price tag and its inclusion of exotic cuts of beef and a dab of goose liver in the patty” (Food Republic) to the world of high cuisine.Revolutionary indeed.Though some purists (and animal rights activists) would have had him on the chopping board, others followed his lead. Sure enough: high-end burgers – many including ingredients like foie gras – eventually became adopted in many high end burger joints and restaurants worldwide.RELATED: The Australian BBQ That Will Change The Way You Cook Steak ForeverAs The New York Times reported in 2008, high-end burgers by then had made their way into menus and plates around the world – even France – in something they describe as a starting turnaround “in a country where a chef once sued McDonald’s for $2.7 million in damages over a poster that suggested he was dreaming of a Big Mac.”The sight of an ultra-expensive burger however – especially one with ingredients like foie gras – though now more conceivable in Australia in 2021 than they were in 2001, are still a rare sight. You might be able to get them in some high-end restaurants or burger chains, but (to our knowledge) it is not commonplace to order them online.Perhaps the DIY aspect offered by Puharich will change that.Only time and cholesterol levels will tell.What we can say for sure is that there is more of an appetite for purchasing meat online and even in recurring subscription type packages, a la Netflix. To read more about that phenomenon, check out the first article below, where we interview Mr Puharich about the events of 2020.

Ripped Cristiano Ronaldo Photo Shows The Benefits Of Drinking ‘Water, Only’
Ripped Cristiano Ronaldo Photo Shows The Benefits Of Drinking ‘Water, Only’

Ab lord and the best football player of the modern era (bar, some would say, Messi) Cristiano Ronaldo made waves around the world last week when he swept two bottles of Coke away from him during a UEFA Euro ‘2020’ press conference and said: “agua” (water).

Aside from allegedly tanking the market value of Coca-Cola by $4 billion (something which Forbes refutes), he also reminded many people of a pretty basic premise: fizzy drinks are really not good for you.


Why? It’s not exactly a mystery. Fizzy drinks like Coke are full of sugar. So cutting them out is an easy way to become healthier. And – though there is obviously a whole lot more the 36-year-old does to stay in shape than drink water (see: his diet and training) – his ‘water, only’ approach is reflective of his wholesome attitude to fitness.

A recent photo posted to Instagram by @espnfc shows the results of having such a strong focus. Showing Ronaldo at the end of one of his recent EUFA games, with his top off, the image captures the Portuguese superstar looked shredded.

“Water, only,” ESPN captioned the post.

Followers picked up on this, commenting:

“Ah so that’s what people look like when they only drink water.”

“Coca cola effect.”


“What ever you guys say about Ronaldo but he always has something to say on big games. Honestly we r blessed to both Messi and Ronaldo play there best for country.”

A post shared by Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano)

Another commenter was a little more cynical, pointing out there is more to Ronaldo looking ripped than his avoidance of Coke.

“I only drink water but I look like CR7 in his days at Sporting.”

In any case, it’s a good reminder to anyone looking to make an incremental change to their lives that will make them fitter and healthier: switch soft drinks for water. Abs may (or may not) ensue.

Man’s Testicular Cancer Operation Photo Serves As Timely Reminder To Us All
Man’s Testicular Cancer Operation Photo Serves As Timely Reminder To Us All

No one likes to think about it, but we’re all at the mercy of our bodies working.

From your heart keeping a steady rhythm to your cells growing in sync, it’s hard to remember to be grateful every day for ~life~.

Speaking of which… one trending Reddit thread proves why you you should get regular health checks from your GP, and why you should take the time out of your day every now and then to get re-acquainted with your testicles.


“Just got right testical removed, screw you cancer!!” the post reads, followed by a photo from the hospital.

The response on Reddit was epic, with users sharing war(d) stories and helping inform each other about the signs men should look out for when it comes to testicular cancer.

“What were the signs or warnings you had before you found out you had testicular cancer,” one user wrote, to which the original poster of the thread – /brownrdan27 – responded: “Tenderness in the testical and the lump that formed. It comes on quick! Any lumps on your testical get it checked out! It is the easiest cancer to cure. Do your self checks!!”

“Oh it was like a grape size,” he added. “They grow very fast, I had tenderness for a few weeks, like getting a light flick every now and then. Me being dumb never did a self check then, but found it in the shower one day just by chance. I normally use a loofah so never get skin to skin contact.”

“Once a month put the self check on the list, you will get to know what is normal and what is not. The pain isn’t always there in the beginning that is from the tumor growing and putting pressure on the testicals.”

“Doing good now! Hope they got it before it spread too far!” he also shared.

Image via Reddit

Another user claimed a similar thing has happened to him: “Pretty much the same thing happened to me 8 years ago,” he said. “I went to a pre-vasectomy appointment that my wife made for me after we had our 2nd kid. Doc found a lump and I ended up having my left nut removed 4 days later.”

“I’m lucky enough to say I’ve had worse colds than cancer. Having one nut has no effect on your day to day life.”

Others took to the forum with advice. One wrote: “Fellow uniballer here with the most important discharge advice you’ll ever get. TAKE A GOD DAMN STOOL SOFTENER. The anesthesia meds and post op pain meds blocked me up so bad and the last thing you want to do is strain that groin incision.”

“I was crying on the bathroom floor for 2 days before I could poop. 10x worse than the surgery itself.”

Another said: “For my husband it was really weird. He had a small, painful lump form under one nipple. Thinking maybe breast cancer (which men can get) he got a mammogram and an ultrasound and they determined it was gynecomastia. However, if you look up the risk factors for that its like being a teenage boy, smoking pot, and testicular cancer.”

“Well he was almost 40 and never smoked pot. He checked himself and found a lump. He had a rarer type of Testicular cancer which puts out the hormones that causes the gynecomastia. Only had to have the testical removed, no chemo or radiation. The lump went away on its own after that. Because its a rarer type, his docs keep a close eye on him and he gets scans every year but we caught it early and it never metastasized.”


Others then encourages each other to go and get anything weird checked, claiming you don’t need medical insurance to seek help for this kind of issue.

In response to one man writing: “I developed a lump in each thigh at the beginning of COVID. Almost in the same spots. But with no health insurance I’m probably just kinda fucked,” another user wrote: “If you’re in the US you don’t need insurance.”

“I had a cousin who had found a lump in his testicle so he went to the county hospital and they helped him out anyways. He ended up getting surgery and having it removed. It wasn’t the best place and he shared a room with 3 people but he’s been cancer free for about 5 years now.”

Of course, on top of that, there was more than one ball pun (and just jokes in general) rolling around as well.

Some of the top contenders included: “Better than having the wrong one removed!” (top comment) and “You’re a nut” (response to top comment).

“No worries, you’ll still have a ball!” another joker added.

“These puns are teste-mony to the fact that we need to stay off Reddit for a while.”

That was just the begginning. “Now cancer can suck his left nut,” another user added. “Wow that must’ve taken some balls to say that,” another chimed in.

“The hospital bed says it was surgically removed, but your eyes say it was ripped out by hand. Either way, I’m happy for you and proud of you!”

“Ball(s) to cancer!! Hope you’re doing ok man,” yet another one said.

“At least they got the right one, so you still have one left.”

Another Reddit user wrote in to share her partner’s story.

“My partner lost lefty to cancer over a decade ago.”


“Didn’t tell me until after we had sex. I thought I scared lefty away, I was slightly relieved that I wasn’t completely losing it and there was only one ball in there.”

“We once shared a picture of our view from vacation and his brother asked if he was jealous of the palm tree. We hadn’t even noticed the two coconuts.”

“Ball jokes are low hanging fruit, gotta go for it.”

Our favourite comment of them all though sums up the sentiment in the comments, we think, quite nicely.

“You didn’t need that guy anyways, he’s a nut. Good on you bro. Don’t let any insecure idiot ever question you on it. It takes twice the man to go through having one removed and that puts you at god level machismo for life.”

‘NBA’s #1 Sneakerhead’ PJ Tucker Pairs $20,000 Dior Sneakers With Summery Suit Outfit
‘NBA’s #1 Sneakerhead’ PJ Tucker Pairs $20,000 Dior Sneakers With Summery Suit Outfit

Sneaker collecting has always revolved around basketball shoes, but the vast majority of sneakerheads spend little time on a basketball court – like how most people who own Thrasher hoodies couldn’t skate to save their life.PJ Tucker, however, is a notable exception. The Milwaukee Bucks forward’s intensity on the hardcourt is only matched by his passion for rare and collectible sneakers – indeed, SLAM Magazine back in 2016 dubbed the 36-year-old the number 1 sneakerhead in the NBA, thanks to both the quality and quantity of his sneaker hoard.Tucker’s also a very snappy dresser with exceptional taste in haute couture. Just take this surprisingly slick (and rather expensive) outfit he was spotted rocking ahead of the Bucks’ triumphant outing against the Brooklyn Nets last week.On his feet were Dior x Air Jordan 1s – better known as the ‘Air Diors’, and worth as much as $20,000 a pair – Tucker contrasting the grey and white designer sneakers with a blazer and shorts from Dries van Noten, which he combined with a long tank top and wide-brimmed fedora (taking some inspiration from Cam Newton, perhaps?)

A post shared by UpscaleHype (@upscalehype)

It’s an interesting blend of formal and extremely casual that’s actually surprisingly understated and a winning summer look. As a true sneakerhead, Tucker wants his shoes to be the focal point of his outfit, so while the combination is somewhat eclectic, the simple colour palette doesn’t distract from his Jordans.RELATED: Kanye West’s Million-Dollar Sneaker Auction A Turning Point For Modern LuxuryWhile there’s been a lot of love for this outfit online, one bemused fan commented that it’s “the first time [they’ve] ever seen him not carrying an extra pair of sneakers”, referring to Tucker’s habit of literally carrying another pair of sneakers on top of the ones on his feet during his pre-game walk-ins – guess he doesn’t want to miss another opportunity to show off his collection.Check him out doing exactly that ahead of the second Bucks v Atlanta Hawks game on Saturday, contrasting the Gucci plimsolls on his feat with some game-ready Nikes.

Flex ’em if you got ’em, we suppose.The Bucks are 2-1 up on the Hawks in the Eastern Conference Finals of this year’s NBA playoffs. If they triumph against the Hawks, they’ll be on their way to the NBA Finals, most likely against the Phoenix Suns, who are 3-1 up on the Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference Finals.
