Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs, found himself in the midst of a surprising controversy recently. During a photoshoot for the team, Mahomes opted to wear a pair of white Crocs with his suit, causing a stir among fans and critics alike. The Chiefs even took to Instagram to share a Reel of the photoshoot, where they playfully questioned Mahomes’ fashion choice.
In the Reel, Mahomes is seen alongside his teammates, all dressed in sophisticated suits, as they prepare for the upcoming playoffs. However, Mahomes stood out with his choice of footwear – a pair of white Crocs clogs. The confusion was palpable as one of his teammates asked, “What do you want me to do with these shoes?” and Mahomes himself admitted, “I don’t even know what shoes I have.”
Thankfully, the situation was resolved later in the clip when Mahomes swapped his Crocs for a pair of shiny black loafers. Meanwhile, his teammate Travis Kelce opted for sneakers to complement his suit. However, the Reel ended with a close-up shot of Mahomes standing barefoot on a photo backdrop while his discarded Crocs remained in the foreground.
Brittany Mahomes Weighs In
While many fans found humor in Mahomes’ unexpected fashion statement, his wife Brittany took to Instagram to express her disapproval. Commenting on the post, she humorously stated, “I definitely put shoes in there… come onnnnn, @patrickmahomes.” Brittany’s comment resonated with fans, with one remarking, “Every wife knows this.”
Despite the criticism, some fans defended Mahomes’ choice of footwear. One fan even proclaimed, “You ain’t rocking if you’re not crocing! I love the white crocs.” Another supporter proudly admitted to being a fellow Crocs enthusiast, stating, “I only wear crocs too; I keep a pair in my trunk.” It seems that unconventional fashion choices can still find a place among certain individuals.
While Patrick Mahomes might receive occasional backlash for his fashion choices, his wife Brittany is known for her stylish outfits. She often accompanies him to his games and outings, even forming a friendship with pop sensation Taylor Swift. Just recently, the couple sported matching custom red puffer jackets with their respective jersey numbers for a game. With their fashion-forward mindset, it makes one wonder if matching Crocs could be in their future.
Patrick Mahomes faced criticism for his decision to wear Crocs to a photoshoot. While opinions varied, it is clear that Mahomes is not afraid to embrace his own unique style. Whether it’s fancy loafers or casual clogs, he proves that fashion can be subjective, and individuality should be celebrated.
