Rising soccer star Cavan Sullivan is making waves both on and off the field. At just 15 years old, the Philadelphia Union midfielder has already secured his place in Major League Soccer history as the youngest player to start a game. Now, Sullivan is adding another impressive feat to his resume by partnering with iconic American retailer Aéropostale.
The young athlete’s natural style and youthful energy fit perfectly with the brand’s ethos, making him the ideal ambassador for their latest collection.
Sullivan’s journey to fashion stardom mirrors his rapid rise in professional football. After turning pro at the tender age of 14, he has quickly become a household name in American soccer circles. His talent on the pitch is undeniable, with impressive performances in both the MLS and the developmental MLS Next Pro league.
In the Aéropostale partnership, Sullivan models a range of trendy yet comfortable pieces. From relaxed-fit baggy jeans to versatile varsity jackets, the collection embodies the casual-cool aesthetic that resonates with today’s youth. Sullivan’s effortless ability to transition from the football field to fashion campaigns demonstrates his multifaceted appeal.
In an exclusive interview with ESPN, Sullivan shared his thoughts on the collaboration: “Teaming up with Aéropostale feels like a natural fit. Their clothes are exactly what I’d wear hanging out with friends or heading to practice. It’s great to represent a brand that gets my style both on and off the field.“
This partnership also represents Aéropostale’s continued resurgence in the competitive teen retail market. After facing financial challenges in 2016, the brand has successfully repositioned itself under new ownership, attracting young talent like Sullivan to increase its relevance among Gen Z consumers.
With a reported $500,000 annual contract and a possible future move to Manchester City, Sullivan’s star is undoubtedly on the rise. His Aéropostale ambassadorship adds another dimension to his growing public profile and solidifies his status as a multi-talented phenomenon.
