Carolina Panthers rookie safety Zakee Wheatley made a strong style statement by stepping out in a luxury look anchored by a rhinestone-embellished T-shirt from Liem Homme. He paired the standout top with Louis Vuitton wide-leg branded denim jeans and a pair of Akomi Liputa boots, distinguished by their chunky black rubber soles and vibrant multicolored stacked laces.

Wheatley completed the outfit with a Humans At War With Peace “Jordan River” belt and a silver jean chain, adding streetwear-inspired details to the luxury-forward ensemble.

The Panthers selected the former Penn State standout in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft with the No. 151 overall pick, acquired through a trade with the Miami Dolphins.

At 6-foot-3 and 203 pounds, Wheatley entered the draft as one of the top defensive backs in the class. ESPN ranked him as the No. 7 safety available, and Carolina is adding a versatile, athletic defender with the potential to make an impact in its secondary.
