Now let’s go back to 2006. Jimmy Butler was a scoring machine as a senior at Tomball High School in Texas, where he averaged 19.9 points per game and was the team captain, long before he went on to become a six-time NBA All-Star. Even so, he was rated as a two-star prospect. He played at Tyler Community College before being noticed by Marquette.

Jimmy Butler was a scoring machine as a senior at Tomball High School in Texas, where he averaged 19.9 points per game and was the team captain, long before he went on to become a six-time NBA All-Star. Even so, he was rated as a two-star prospect. He played at Tyler Community College before being noticed by Marquette.
According to the legend, the same young athlete who was once ignored went on to excel in college and is now among the League’s most dominant players. Butler shows off his everlasting confidence and gritty playing style by sporting custom-made and personal varsity jackets from his high school and college for the entire season. Butler also wears that on his sleeve very literally. The Miami Heat player has worn these coats inside arena tunnels.
Butler has teamed up with TOP DRWR, a cutting edge platform that is the premier destination for all things high end fashion, to bring a distinctive experience to NBA fans and style icons even though the clothing is personally meaningful to Butler—his Tomball varsity jacket even features a captain patch as well as the year 2007 and his jersey number.
The inaugural reveal of TOP DRWR, which was co-founded by one of the illest musicians in the business, French Montana, will feature an auction of ten pieces from Butler’s personal collection, including both varsity jackets, a pair of Jordans, and more.
All of the pieces were chosen in collaboration with The Shop Miami by seasoned stylists Calyann Barnett and Khalilah Beavers. One of the most creative innovators in the NBA fashion industry is Barnett, who has collaborated with every player in the league, including Dwyane Wade. Then there is Khalilah Beavers, whose work has redefined style around the League and styled everyone from Jimmy Butler to Carmelo Anthony.
