NBA Legend Scottie Pippen Ventures into Fashion with New Brand 'Unguarded'

Scottie Pippen Launches 'Unguarded', Blending Vintage Style with Modern Streetwear

Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen is looking for new ways to score off the court, as he is set to launch his new luxury clothing line 'Unguarded'. The Hall of Fame basketball player says the new apparel line will showcase refined pieces featuring "classic silhouettes with modern thinking.” 

Set to launch in mid 2025, Pippen’s latest endeavor was heavily influenced by acclaimed streetwear designer Cassius Smith, who was extensively involved in conceiving the clothing line’s core themes.

After 11 months of planning and execution, Pippen, who has been retired from basketball for over two decades, is eager to make his fashion debut. 

"With Unguarded, we’ve been able to elevate the basics and escape the typical streetwear stereotypes. It’s completely unexpected how incredible this line is."

The new clothing brand also highlights a family connection for the Pippen's, as Scottie's daughter, Sophia, flaunted a range of stylish looks alongside model Justice Harper in a recent photo shoot.

Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen

In the NBA, "Pip" wreaked havoc on both sides of the court, securing seven All-Star selections while helping to lead the Bulls to six NBA championships alongside Michael Jordan. As a defender, Pippen was heralded for his creativity and tenacity, something he hopes to carry with him into the world of fashion.

Although Pippen was known particularly for his defense, the 10x All-Defensive Team member was also nearly "unguardable" for much of his career. He averaged 20 points and 6 assists per game over a nine-year span, earning himself the nickname "Robin", to Jordan's "Batman".

Pippen's son, Scottie Pippen Jr., has followed in his father's footsteps and is now a professional basketball player for the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies.

If Pippen’s fashion sense is anywhere near the level of his basketball prowess, Unguarded should be a major success!
