Naomi Osaka's latest over-the-top US Open outfit is a tribute to 76ers star Allen Iverson
Fox News • • general
Key Points:
- Naomi Osaka made a striking fashion statement at the 2026 US Open by cosplaying NBA legend Allen Iverson, wearing a short-sleeved hoodie, red and black arm sleeves, a full-length skirt, and cornrows.
- Osaka described her outfit as a tribute to Iverson, aligning with Nike's basketball theme for some athletes at the tournament, inspired partly by the New York Knicks' recent NBA title.
- However, Iverson has no direct ties to New York, having played mainly for the Philadelphia 76ers and hailing from Virginia, making Osaka's homage geographically and contextually unusual.
- Additionally, Iverson was never a Nike athlete but had a long-standing endorsement deal with Reebok, further complicating the connection between Osaka's Nike-sponsored outfit and Iverson.
