For Tyler Adams, sneakers are everything. Growing up in Wappinger, New York, on the eastern bank of the Hudson River, the 22-year-old first realized his deep connection with footwear on the playground during his time at elementary school over a decade ago. After switching allegiances from adidas to Nike early on, Adams grew a particular fondness of the epochal Jordan Brand a label he’s since based his shoe collection around.
Alongside his passion for sneakers, Adams’ career as a professional footballer flourished too. After joining New York Red Bulls‘ academy in 2011, Adams went on to make his first team appearance in a friendly match against the then Premier League champions Chelsea four years later, before making his United States Men’s National Team debut in 2017. Fast-forward to 2019 and Adams has switched the bright lights of New York City for Germany’s Bundesliga to join RB Leipzig.
