He dresses up in the clothes, he sits courtside, he gets his drink, he gets ready to cheer on the team, and time and time again, the team disappoints him. That is the story of Timothée Chalamet being a New York Knicks superfan.
Last night, the Knicks played their fourth game against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, and lost 130-121, meaning the Pacers have now beat the Knicks three games to one.
For every single game, Timmy has been there, front and center, sporting his Knicks merch in frustration. His game day wardrobe has been somewhat of a revelation, and a confirmation to what we at Harper’s Bazaar had been noticing for some time: merch is hot right now.

The A Complete Unknown star’s fits have ranged from a striped bright orange bomber jacket and event brighter orange pants, to Knicks merch with jorts and work boots, and Chrome Hearts velvet tracksuit in the Knicks’s colors.

He’s showed out in Rick Owens high-top sneakers, but for the most part, he’s worn his chunky, tan Timberland boots stamped with Chrome Hearts cross patches in blue and orange all over. The custom boots were commissioned by the actor’s stylist, Taylor McNeill.

For last night’s game, Chalamet again wore his Timberlands, this time with baggy, washed-out blue jeans and a black hoodie that he layered under a vintage “Midnight Sun League Baseball” Avirex leather varsity jacket in navy and cream. Chalamet topped off the fit with a black backwards baseball, clear, alien-esque sunglasses with a pink tint, and a silver chain.

He again sat next to Ben Stiller (the two have become out favorite courtside duo), who stayed loyal to his black Knicks hoodie.
