Jimmy Butler is ramping up his preparations for the postseason as the Miami Heat strive to keep their spot as the third seed in the Eastern Conference. He is concentrating all of his concentration on the task at hand, and in the meantime, he is retraining and choosing his attire.

It all started in Chicago, early on in his career, when he began wearing cowboy boots to go to and from the stadium. He didn’t do this for ironic or trendy reasons; rather, he wore them simply because he liked the way they looked on him.

But for him, the change was less about the money and more about his own tastes and sense of style. He wanted to try something new. After that, the four-time NBA All-Star was seen having a good time with other NBA players during Paris Fashion Week, and he was profiled in vintage issues of magazines such as Vogue and GQ.
