02 COLLECTION
Bringing together apparel, accessories, kit, and equipment for on and off the pitch, the collection draws on elements of 1990s soccer culture, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.
The collection also includes a limited-edition selection of apparel and accessories defined by treated surfaces and functional construction. Outerwear focuses on the Nylon Prismatico-TC hooded jacket, inspired by the iconic Mussola Prismatica and constructed from lightweight nylon tela bonded to a finely grooved polyurethane film, creating a liquid, three-dimensional appearance. The same fabric extends to the matching training bag.
The Soccer Kit includes a jersey and shorts developed in engineered jacquard with a bespoke artwork combining the Stone Island Compass, New Balance logo, and two-stripe motif. The offering is completed by the Pro Soccer Ball, designed with 32 thermally bonded panels and a micro-textured surface to optimize flight and minimize water uptake. Additional on-pitch pieces will be unveiled on June 4th.
Professional soccer players Endrick and Bukayo Saka wear the collaborative capsule, captured by photographer Bolade Banjo.
Purchases are accompanied by dedicated packaging created exclusively for the collaboration.
