A risky choice of kit to wear to the Emirates from Chrissy Teigen 😂 👀

There’s an alien invasion popping up on our timelines in the Northeast, and we’re not talking about those drones in New Jersey. Victor Wembanyama has been spotted in the wild chalking up Ws all week – a fitting way to wrap up the Year of Wembymania.

During the NBA’s biggest regular season day, Wemby was the brightest star turning heads at The Garden. He followed that up by stopping in Brooklyn two days later with the most adorable jersey swap ever. If that wasn’t enough, how about a seven-footer having an open chess challenge in Washington Square Park?

Wemby has made it known that he wants to be the face of the NBA. He’s acting like it with the jaw-dropping on-court performances and unforgettable moments off it. We’re talking about a seven-foot mutant that swats basketballs like they’re flies, and can look fly at Paris Fashion Week as Louis Vuitton’s ambassador.

After carrying France to a silver medal, Wemby warned that he’s worried for his opponents. It’s downright frightening to know this is the worst version of Wemby we’ll ever see. The league is looking for a face to pass the torch from LeBron, and Wemby’s coming for the throne in 2025.

There were a lot of fashion trends that went hard this year, but how do you know which ones rose above the rest and entered the hypegeist? Well, it probably had a -core suffix appended to it. These were OffBall's five favorites in 2024.

We wouldn’t blame you if you thought you were seeing soccer fashion everywhere - you can thank Blokecore. It has taken the simple denim jeans and football shirt outfit into a global trend, with everyone from 21 Savage to Rihanna taking part. We don’t see this trend ending anytime soon, especially after Pharrell’s soccer-influenced Louis Vuitton collection and Nike bringing back the Total 90 vibes.

Tactical sportswear isn’t simply for bad weather days anymore. Gorpcore took the utilitarian mood board and turned weather-resistant jackets, cargo pants, and hiking boots into everyday essentials. Motorcore has made leather racing jackets sexier than ever. And summer was all about tenniscore, with Zendaya leading the charge for these go-to Wimbledon-inspired tennis skirts and athletic tops.
