Beyond the Grid Vol. 08 - The Club That Made Miami Bearable (for me)

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve shared something here. I’ve been working, shooting, editing, staying close to the present instead of the past. This felt like the right moment to show a bit of that.

In a city that still doesn’t fully feel like home, Miami Racket Club has given me a reason to stay grounded, or at least to keep showing up.
It’s more than just tennis. It’s a place to move, sweat, focus, disappear for a bit, and belong, even on the days I don’t feel like I do.

Sibi clears the net like it’s nothing. I didn’t think he’d actually go for it, let alone make it look this easy.

It wasn’t a big campaign. Just a quiet morning on court with a few friends of the club, who also happen to be incredible players, to create some content. We started early, before the heat kicked in. Just a few shirts, a few hats, some product from our brand partners, and the rhythm of the game.

Between points and posture, this is the Miami Racket Club mood.

The edit is black and white, not how it’ll live on the brand’s feed, but how I wanted it to feel. Stripped of the vibrant colors in the outfits so the Miami Racket Club crest could stand out.
Not polished. Just honest.

Some of what you see is in the shop now, most of it can’t be bought.

Some of the hats you see here are part of the current collection, others were one-offs or shoot-day stand-ins. The shirts are available now, along with our four current hats: black, navy, maroon, and a members-only green.

More soon. But for now, here’s something current.
Thanks for being here.
