One of the highlights of the 2025 Oscars happened early with Adam Sandler making a cameo alongside host Conan O’Brien in an Aviator Nation Vail Zip Hoodie in Neon Blue hoodie.
While O’Brien poked and prodded Sandler over his outfit choice, the court-ready actor laughed as he rocked his baggy Adidas basketball shorts, Under Armour Curry 11 basketball shoes, and this neon blue zip-up hoodie that has stolen the show online.
Sandler has become an unconventional fashion icon in recent years for his careless style. “I like the way I look because I’m a good person,” he sarcastically said during the cameo that eventually saw him walk out of the awards. “I don’t care about what I wear, what I don’t wear. Did my snazzy gym shorts and fluffy sweatshirt offend you so much that you had to mock me in front of my peers? You’re all welcome to join me for a game of 5-on-5 basketball at Veteran Park tonight, midnight tip-off. The guy from Nosferatu is on my team. One more thing, Chalamet,” he continued.

Paige Mycoskie started the brand Aviator Nation in her garage in Venice Beach in 2006. It embodies a 1970s California style, and she has grown it to the point that there are 19 destination retail locations, including a flagship retail location in Haight Ashbury / San Francisco, CA (2015), Las Vegas, NV (2020), New York City (2023), and most recently, Nashville, TN (2024).
While Sandler is by definition an unfashionable guy, he’s made a pretty smart choice purchasing a hoodie from a brand like Aviator Nation. Every hoodie from the brand is handmade in California, and like Golden Goose Deluxe Brand sneakers, they’re distressed “to a degree of perfect imperfection,” to create a one-of-a-kind piece.
Sandler was wearing the Aviator Nation Vail Zip Hoodie in Neon Blue (SKU: HDPANZ/VL-NBLU-S) and at the time of publishing, it’s still available in the non-sale section of the brand’s website, linked below.
