Fashion Meets Fitness: Frank Adams Blends Performance and Style with Remi Drake

In the world where fashion meets fitness, Frank Adams is redefining the game. As a former college and professional football player turned coach and fashion entrepreneur, he brings a unique blend of discipline, performance, and style to his brand, Remi Drake. With a philosophy rooted in resilience and faith, he's proving that success on the field can translate seamlessly into success in the fashion world.

From Football to Fitness Philosophy

The journey began on the football field, where his tenacity as a 5’9”, 175-pound athlete earned him MVP titles on both special teams and defense in college, as well as a coveted shot at the NFL. That same tenacity now drives his coaching philosophy.

“If you want to be great, you have to own your development,” he explains. “I don’t accept excuses, only solutions. I had to outwork, outthink, and out-execute my competition every day. That’s the mentality I bring to my coaching.”

This mindset is captured in his motto: “If you can’t run, you can’t play.” Speed and agility are key, he says, calling them the "power of quickness" and "the art of adaptability." For him, these attributes are non-negotiable in building athletic excellence. Whether coaching aspiring athletes or training established professionals, he emphasizes the importance of physical preparation, mental toughness, and an unwavering commitment to improvement.

Faith, Family, and Fashion

Dedication to faith and family sparked the creation of his clothing line, Remi Drake. Inspired by his sons, Antonio Deshawn Hopkins and Remington Drakeford-Scott Adams, the brand embodies spiritual values and a commitment to leaving a meaningful legacy. Signature pieces like "I Am," "God’s The Plug," and "God Over Errbody" are not just clothing—they're statements of purpose. Each design reflects a deep belief in perseverance, self-empowerment, and spirituality.

“Remi Drake is about intertwining faith, family, and athletic passion,” he explains. “It’s about more than just looking good—it’s about standing for something."

Rooted in his upbringing and core values, the brand draws from experiences growing up in Gastonia, North Carolina. Family remains a powerful influence on his work, and he continues to build Remi Drake with the hope of creating a lasting legacy for future generations.

Fashion with Function

As athleisure continues to dominate fashion trends, performance and style play key roles in the design process.

“Athleisure isn’t just for athletes anymore,” he points out. “People want comfort and functionality in their everyday wear. That’s what Remi Drake is all about—balancing performance fabrics with aesthetics and luxury."

The brand reflects an understanding that modern lifestyles are increasingly active and casual. By blending sleek designs with functionality, Remi Drake offers versatile pieces that allow wearers to move seamlessly from the gym to social outings. Performance fabrics, breathable materials, and tailored fits ensure that every item is designed for both comfort and durability. This thoughtful approach speaks to those who demand more from their wardrobe—whether they’re athletes, fashion lovers, or individuals striving to live healthier lives.

Star Power and Future Growth

Looking ahead, the vision for Remi Drake includes expansion into mentorship programs, community initiatives, and partnerships with other brands. Building a strong presence within the fashion and athletic communities will lay the foundation for positive change.

In addition to growing the brand, there are big aspirations to see high-profile figures wearing the designs. Names like Justin Fields, DL Warfield, and T.I. are on the list of ideal ambassadors who embody the Remi Drake lifestyle. Each represents the blend of drive, confidence, and resilience that defines the brand.

With an unwavering commitment to blending fashion, fitness, and faith, Remi Drake is more than just clothing—it’s a movement. Combining his experiences as an athlete, coach, and designer, the brand founder is shaping a new standard where performance meets style, and purpose meets passion. As he puts it, "It’s not just about what you wear—it’s about what you stand for."
