At Hampton Adams, our journey began with a simple yet powerful observation: the discomfort and inconvenience athletes faced with traditional sports tape. As athletes ourselves, we were frustrated by tape that was too stiff, difficult to tear, and left sticky residue. We saw an opportunity for improvement—a chance to create a product that would better meet the needs of those who push their limits every day. This small frustration sparked the creation of Hampton Adams.

In 2016, we took a bold step forward, launching Hampton Adams with just $700 in capital. Our vision was clear: to create sports tape that was easy to tear, skin-friendly, and high-performance. The response was immediate. In our first week on Amazon, we generated $1,500 in sales, and our initial stock sold out in no time. This success confirmed that we were on the right path, and athletes were hungry for products that truly addressed their needs.

We didn’t stop after our initial success. We listened closely to our customers and expanded our product line to include kinesiology tape, self-adhesive wraps, finger tape, and elastic bandages—each designed to meet the unique needs of athletes. We quickly realized that true innovation isn’t just about new ideas; it’s about listening to the customer and designing products that solve real problems.

In 2022, we seized the opportunity to showcase Hampton Adams on Shark Tank. During the pitch, we performed a dramatic demonstration of our tape lifting 45 pounds, illustrating its strength and durability. Although we didn’t secure an investment, the exposure from the show was invaluable. It solidified our belief that we were headed in the right direction and gave us the momentum to continue pushing Hampton Adams to new heights.
