Based in Kansas City USA, Stephen is the creative director for the soccer lifestyle brand - States Soccer. He fell in love with the beautiful game playing Fifa in high school and never would have dreamed the love for the sport would turn into a career. He is newer to the collecting game with just around 20 shirts to my name. Soccer is growing like never before in the US and I am so excited to be a part of it.

GOAT. Authentic Cristiano Ronaldo long sleeve. They don't make em this iconic anymore. Baggie shirt, cut socks, and Mercurial Vapors dancing around the ball. A true grail.
Park Ji-sung player issue training top from the golden-era for United. This shirt was the luckiest eBay find and is my favorite item in my collection.
Ryan Yates. Somewhat in protest of the Super League, and somewhat as an excuse to watch more soccer a group of us decided we would support a Championship club. We landed on Nottingham Forest. A club with a rich history and with current room to improve.
A soccer jersey designed by two of the world's most influential creators, Virgil Abloh and Kim Jones. This jersey is often overshadowed by the hype
brand that is Off-White, but at its core, I see something inspiring.
Match Worn Matt Besler USMNT shirt. Friend and business partner Matt Besler wore this shirt during the 3-0 victory over Nicaragua in the 2017 Gold Cup. This jersey, amongst a closet full of Matt's kit, informed our inaugural line for States Soccer.
