The Hype French Generation: Kevin N'Doram The Metz defender tells nss sports how much Nike and Abloh's philosophy influenced his style

Kevin N'Doram is another of those footballers who does not experience fashion as a side element: football goes first of all, but following one's passions is equally important. The 24-year-old defender on loan from Monaco is yet another promise that we insert among the "hype players of the French next generation"; we reached him to deepen the path that led him to be a trend-setter, through his own influences and his vision of the fashion industry:

''Fashion does not only mean dressing, nor does it represent a superficial side of my life or a simple passion; you can understand a lot about a person and his personality through an outfit''. Sacrosant words, but it is equally true that being a footballer can facilitate this process of approaching a passion that, at times, is far from accessible.

Just like Valentin Rozier, N'Doram also took inspiration from his colleagues, footballers with his same passion, but of whom he would not have known if it were not for the use of social media: ''My ''brother'' William Vainqueur - Toulouse midfielder, ex Roma - is one of those players who amazes me with his outfits, while Karim Bellarabi of Bayern Leverkusen did not think he was so stylish! I stumbled upon his Instagram profile and I didn't know his passion for the fashion world at all''.
