From Franca to London, Estêvão has never been afraid to make the jump.
Raised in a city built on footwear and basketball, the 19-year-old was always going to find his way to Jordan. Even with the world at his feet and the Jumpman on his sneakers, Franca has never left him.
Days after he returned from Chelsea’s preseason tour, we caught up with Estêvão ahead of his biggest season yet. Wearing a one-of-one Jordan tracksuit designed by Javel Berlin and Sonny Bigland, the Brazilian opens up about the family who made every leap with him and the sacrifices that carried him from Franca to Palmeiras and his new home, Stamford Bridge.
He speaks, too, about adjusting to life in London and why, even now, LeBron James’s longevity continues to inspire him.
