Faves is a platform that connects athletes with brands and consumers by curating athlete-selected product recommendations and enabling commerce and partnerships. Faves operates a roster of 900+ athletes across many sports, promotes athlete 'faves' (shopable collections like 'Max's faves'), and positions itself as a marketplace and influencer marketing network that helps athletes monetize their influence, connect with fans, and allows brands to build, scale, and partner with athlete voices. The site highlights performance, health and wellness products, and claims a network reach of 12M+ and 1M+ fans shopping. Faves also provides opportunities for brands to apply to partner and for athletes to join the roster.
