Story

         Ampton Road is a tennis lifestyle brand focused on bringing more diversity and inclusion to the sport. We blend elements of athletics, nostalgia, heritage, travel, Japanese street style, Palm Springs chic, crate digging, punk rock and 90’s skate culture; all cloaked in a layer of approachability. Eclectically made and ethically produced, our brand is committed to creating the highest quality pieces, while also providing timeless additions to your wardrobe on and off the court.

Founded by Derrick Perry, the brand is rooted in his DNA as a creative and lover of tennis. Competitively ranked as a youth USTA player in Virginia, he was often the only player of color at these tournaments and events. Derrick traded in his racquet for a skateboard in high school and later found his passion as a DJ and filmmaker in NYC. After relocating to LA near a public park with tennis courts, he picked up a racquet again and an obsession was reignited.
