After several weeks of hype, Phoenix Suns star, Kelly Oubre Jr. finally announced a popup store for this new clothing brand, Valley Boyz, and fans are ready to give him all their money.

It’s here. It’s finally here. While some fans may have been biting their fingernails in anticipation of the Phoenix Suns’ new Nike Statement Edition uniforms, many others have been painting their fingernails in anticipation for Kelly Oubre Jr.’s new Valley Boyz branding clothing.

Alas, the wait is no more.

Oubre revealed via Twitter on Monday the Valley Boyz popup store will debut at Manor in Central Phoenix, roughly at the corner of Central Avenue and Camelback Road, on Saturday, October 19, at 3:00 p.m.

As of now, that is all the information that has been divulged about the shop itself. Oubre has been #Shhh since the digital announcement.

3:00 p.m. seems like an odd time to open a clothing store, but it will certainly give fans enough time to line up around the building.

Usually, clothing popup stores stay open for a few weeks. There has been no word if this is a one-day operation or if Manor plans to keep this operational as long as there is merch to be sold. My guess is the latter.

The NBA small forward and notable fashionista first hinted at the idea of a Valley Boyz popup store on Twitter over a month ago pledging that all proceeds would benefit teammate Deandre Ayton‘s Bahamas hurricane relief fund run by UNICEF.

Oubre kept his promise and included this donation tagline in his promotional graphic. That means if you were on the fence about whether or not to spring for a (probably) overpriced sweatshirt to sport in the desert, then the fact that proceeds go toward Bahamas hurricane relief might help.

If you want to completely skip the middleman, you can still goto suns.com/relief to give directly.

But what about the merch itself? What kind of threads will adorn the hangers of Manor on Saturday?

Oubre stated at Phoenix Suns Media Day that there will be, “a lot of nice, dope stuff coming.”

dark. Next. The Suns might be planning a copycat offense

If the Western bandit skull logo is any indication, he is right. Combine that bone-faced outlaw with a lasso script font and you start to get a feel about what to expect.

Whether the look has wide-spread appeal or not, look for Phoenix Suns fans and style-lovers alike will treat their wallet like a pistol in a modern-day quick draw to see who can get their money out the fastest.
