Jeremy Sochan effect: Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama’s shows off purple hairdo

Jeremy Sochan enthusiastically showed off Victor Wembanyama’s freshly dyed purple hair in a recent Instagram post.

San Antonio Spurs international phenom Victor Wembanyama may be one of the most intriguing names in the Association, but there’s plenty that remains to be seen. Will he run away with the Rookie of the Year Award? Is he perhaps receiving too much hype too soon? Ultimately, we don’t know what Wembanyama will look like when he finally steps onto an NBA court this fall. Literally.

According to a recent post on Instagram by his new teammate Jeremy Sochan, Wembanyama may be sporting a surprising hair style in that time. In the video in question, Wembanyama is rocking a bleached head of hair with streaks of purple and turquoise. In the video, Wembanyama beams as Sochan shows off his new style.

Sochan himself has made a point to keep his hair style constantly evolving. He went with a bright green hairdo when the Spurs played down in Mexico City, Mexico. He had streaks of blue in his hair when he represented San Antonio at the 2023 Rising Stars Challenge as part of All-Star Weekend. And here Sochan can be seen rocking a similar bleached hair look.
