After conquering the NFL, New England Patriots legend Tom Brady is now conquering the fashion world, among other fields. With several businesses and family life keeping him busy, the seven-time Super Bowl champion isn’t sitting around idly during retirement. After collaborating with a world-class fashion brand, the former quarterback drew plenty of comments.
Jason McCourty Loves Tom Brady’s Gucci Runway Walk in NYC
Brady has been associated with several high-end brands throughout his playing career; however, his latest runway walk with Gucci marked one of his deepest forays into fashion yet. Donning an all-black leather outfit by the Italian brand, Brady walked the walk in New York City.
The crossover naturally drew a lot of attention, including a take from his former teammate, cornerback Jason McCourty. The two spent Brady’s final two years in New England together, winning a Super Bowl in 2018.
“My dog looks like a mannequin out there — a leather jacket so damn tight,” McCourty said on “Up & Adams.” “You know what, his strut, Tom has it going on. He looks like a supermodel. The amount of comments I saw, like, he looks like he’s walking in a black trash bag, like, that’s the stuff I live for.”
Among his fashion endeavors, Brady launched the performance-luxury apparel label BRADY in 2021 alongside designer Dao-Yi Chow, formerly of Public School. The brand mixes athletic wear with streetwear aesthetics and has become very popular since its inception.
The former quarterback is also closely associated with luxury watch brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe.
He has a well-documented history in fashion, and his runway walk with Gucci marks yet another chapter in his post-retirement story.
“Tom looks great, but I just want the internet to have a blast with it,” McCourty added about Brady’s walk. “That’s the stuff that I know somebody’s texting Tom with those same exact jokes, and he’s loving it. But what can’t this guy do? Go sit down somewhere else. Let somebody else have some fame and some fun.”
McCourty’s own fashion is also nothing to sneeze at. While the former cornerback isn’t pursuing a fashion career like Brady, his television appearances as an NFL analyst are often marked by tasteful suit choices.
