Young (at only 23 years old), dynamic and representative of a new pop culture sensibility in the world of association football, Paul Pogba has enraptured the sport at large with his on-field antics — picked up first by Manchester United and switching to Juventus, before controversially returning to Old Trafford for a record sum. Off the field, his electric persona and joie de vivre has won him legions of followers, as well as making him the face of his own hip-hop-inspired athleisure and footwear collection with adidas.

HYPEBEAST Magazine caught up with the Parisian native on the set of the photoshoot for his eponymous collection in Manchester to learn about what energizes him outside of soccer (the answer is music and dance, lots of it), and the crucial role that his older twin brothers Mathias and Florentin, also professional footballers, played in nurturing his phenomenal talent.
