Steph Curry put on one of his most electric performances in Saturday night's 145-144 double-overtime loss against the LA Lakers. Interestingly, his outfit matched his performance, as he wore a $400 outfit to support Nigerian-born designer Taofeek Abijako. This is in collaboration with the $10 billion-dollar corporation Rakuten, an e-commerce platform that provides high-quality products to its customers.
The $400 outfit consisted of a stunning aquamarine short-sleeved polo, white shirt flared distressed hem jeans, chunky platform boots and a beanie to top the look off. The simple casual look was enhanced with the pop of color present in the polo, fitting Steph Curry's sense of fashion.
In his tweet, the Golden State Warriors star also gave credit to the Black in Fashion Council, which partnered with Rakuten to provide support to talented designers in the fashion industry. This collaboration also involved support from the four-time NBA champion.

"You'll be able to see me wear their looks on the tunnel walks," Curry added, "and then you'll be able to shop their looks through Rakuten's services. With the platform I have I also have the blessings to extend reach across the world ... and find creative ways to elevate people who need support and deserve support, resources and attention."
