It has been a massive season of change for Josh Green.
First, he was traded from the Dallas Mavericks to the Charlotte Hornets, part of a three-team deal that saw Klay Thompson head to Texas.
Fresh off a maiden NBA Finals appearance, followed by his Olympic debut, Green had to hit the ground running in North Carolina, part of rookie head coach Charles Lee's first-ever roster.
It was a tough start for the Aussie in his new team, but one thing that helped him stay consistent were his pre-game fits, with Green becoming a staple of the Hornets' fashion-focused Instagram posts as he develops his style - leading in time to a return to form.
"I just like being different, I like trying to create my own type of fashion style," Green told NBA Australia.
"I don’t like to be crazy, I don’t like to be vibrant, with insane colours."
The 24-year-old's style is no doubt muted, but don't mistake this for boring, with Green consistently putting together impressive outfits this season.
He elevated his style through basic high-quality staples, using plenty of matching sets and long-sleeve button-ups, while also not being scared to dip into high fashion brands like Rick Owens and Louis Vuitton.
But Green has also been consistent about representing his homeland in his style choices, with one brand in particular continuing to remain in his rotation: Sydney label Earls, founded by former NRL player Lewi Brown.
"For me it’s also about being able to tie in where I come from and being able to support Australian brands," Green said.
"I really enjoy wearing their stuff and I think Earls is a great representation of that, what Lewi [Brown] has done with the brand is great, and he’s stayed with great pieces.
"You can see how dedicated he is to it and when someone works hard like that it’s hard to not want to back somebody and wear their stuff, at the end of the day I’m going to wear what I like."
But Green has been putting just as much thought into what he puts on on the court as he has off of it, with the 2024-25 season also seeing him leave Nike in favour of signing with Skechers, who have made a push into the basketball market.
Alongside names like Joel Embiid, Julius Randle, and Terance Mann, Green joined the Skechers family mid-way through the year, alternating between the brand's Nexus and Resagrip Low models.
He was even given a PE of the Nexus model, nicknamed the 'Greenie', featuring a distinct green and blue colour palette.
"Skechers have been amazing, since day one they’ve been all hands on board and they’ve really worked with me," Green said.
"Seeing the facilities and seeing the progress they’re going to take, with basketball and with every other sport, they’ve done an amazing job.
"We play a lot of games, so Skechers are very comfortable, and for me to be able to have a PE was very cool, and I wanted to bring something back to home - I’ve been called ‘Greenie’ since my soccer coach called me it so ‘Greenie’ has always been around I thought it would be a good idea, and tie in some light blue for Sydney."
While Charlotte ultimately missed the post-season, the last 12 months have proved that Green has what it takes to dominate at the highest level, both in terms of his basketball ability, as well as his personal style.
