American tennis star Taylor Fritz is serving up more than just aces this summer. He has officially been named the face of the latest Palm Tree Crew x Head collection, a collaboration that blends elite tennis performance gear with relaxed lifestyle fashion. The highly anticipated collection will debut ahead of the 2025 US Open, where Fritz is expected to take the court sporting pieces from the line.
Palm Tree Crew, co-founded by DJ Kygo and Myles Shear, has quickly become a symbol of laid-back luxury, attracting celebrities, athletes, and fans alike. Known for its tropical aesthetic and strong crossover into the sports and fashion markets, the brand has partnered with Head, a global leader in tennis equipment, to launch a collection designed for high performance with a relaxed vibe.
This announcement further positions Fritz as a rising brand ambassador beyond the court marking another step in his evolution from elite athlete to international style icon.
Who Is Taylor Fritz and Why Was He Chosen?
Taylor Fritz has emerged as one of the top American men’s tennis players over the last five years. Ranked consistently within the ATP Top 10, the 27-year-old from California has not only claimed titles but also earned a reputation for his cool demeanor and distinctive style on and off the court.
His Southern California roots, calm personality, and growing global recognition made him a perfect match for the Palm Tree Crew lifestyle. The brand’s identity relaxed, beachy, yet performance-driven aligns with Fritz’s image and personal values. His fan base also skews younger, with a strong presence on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok, offering the ideal demographic for the brand’s new tennis-lifestyle hybrid approach.
Palm Tree Crew co-founder Myles Shear said the partnership with Fritz was a “natural fit,” adding that “Taylor embodies the spirit of the Palm Tree Crew focused, fun, and full of positive energy.”
