WHAT YOU DIDNT NOTICE IN THE VIDEO

While most people were glued to the screen, watching the amazing footwork of Cristiano Ronaldo. You missed what was in front of your eyes the whole time.

Featuring an ominous Greyscale construction, the silhouette was initially inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo’s exploits on the soccer field and ended up inspiring those as far removed from the pitch as possible with an eye for Nike Sportswear aesthetics. 

The sneaker is part Kobe 9 thanks to a high-arching ankle support and flyknit construction and part running silhouette with a Nike Free 5.0 outsole, but when paired together, what results is one of the cleaner lifestyle releases to date.

The Nike Free Mercurial Superfly was released on February 15th, 2015. But you were probably sleeping.

MBROIDERED THE COLLAB CONNOISSEUR

BY: KICKSINTHELOU

Federico Maccapani an Italian graphic designer born in Varese, known as @mbroidered on social media, displays his unique interest in urban street wear. Today's musicians, in his creative expression through graphic design.

Adding his own special twist on collaborations in various areas such as, soccer jerseys, footwear, & graphical artwork. Hopefully the proper light will shine on this talented mans work, given the opportunity to launch a full line of collaborations.

Lately in my opinion, the latest collabs have been quite boring and bland. I see more boutiques and department stores doing collabs, with no true inspiration or idea of raising the bar. An idea behind a collab, is two artist twist the normal and create something so different that it separates itself from the others.

The word Collaboration means, the action of working with someone to produce or create something. Not you create something and i’ll throw my logo on it and call it collaboration with a 50% price markup. A true collab takes a combination of two artist interpretation on one piece. With the finished product being one of a kind & unique. Not an artist and a hungry department store looking for an easy flip.  

The idea of camping out for a pair flip flops with a supreme logo slapped on it is fucking retarded. And don't get me started on those horrendous foamposites either. Im not knocking every collaboration Supreme has done, just a few in particular. 

If you really want to see what a true artist with taste looks like, go to mbroidered.com you wont be disappointed.
