WHY PARK TENNIS CHOSE IT

Tennis apparel is good at looking welcoming. Making the game accessible takes more than an outfit. AJ Athletic says 20% of its profits support AJ Tennis Academy, the youth nonprofit its founder Tolu Adeleye helped build around clinics and mentoring. That link between what players wear and who gets to play is why we chose it. Court style is better when it remembers the court.

THE BRAND STORY

Apparel linked to the next generation of players.

WHO IT’S FOR

Players drawn to court clothing with a specific youth-access mission and an off-court life.

AJ Athletic identifies Tolu Adeleye as its founder. Adeleye helped establish AJ Tennis Academy International in 2015 with Justin Jennings and other board members. The Minneapolis-based nonprofit describes youth tennis clinics, coaching, and mentoring as part of its work.

The apparel brand says 20% of its profits support the Academy. Its collection spans on-court pieces and everyday clothing. A collaboration with Lagos artist Olayinka Oderinde gave the Clinic Tee a graphic tied to Nigerian cultural motifs and the brand's youth tennis mission.
