Honoring Icardi & Cruyff - 3 Unique Nike Brothers of the World Kits Released
Nike has created a unique collection of football kits as part of their Brothers of the World project to celebrate 40 years of Nike football shirt culture. Nike's jersey workshop for Milan Design Week was opened by Inter captain Mauro Icardi and Milanese trap star Sfera Ebbasta.
The special Nike jersey collection embraces the attitude of the founders of F.C. Internazionale - a team created by immigrants and misfits, united by their vision, their colours and their jersey. 110 years ago, the team was founded with these words: "This wonderful night bestows us with the colours of our crest: black and azure against a gilded backdrop of stars. It shall be called International, because we are brothers of the world."
2018 Nike Mauro Icardi Limited Edition Football Jersey
The Mauro Icardi Nike shirt is all about the player they call Maurito. The irreverent double Swoosh on the front of the shirt represents the reckless determination of this lethal striker. His record as a prolific attacker inspired the target symbol dominating the centre of the shirt. As a tribute to his beloved homeland, the outline of Argentina features down the side of the shirt, and the national flag is reinterpreted with a yellow sun on a blue background.
2018 Nike Sfera Ebbasta Limited Edition Football Jersey
This shirt celebrates Milan's own Sfera. With a colour scheme inspired by the cover of his latest album, Rockstar, Sfera's kit blends music and football. Referencing the lyrics to his biggest hit to date, the crest features a reinterpretation of Milan's iconic serpent, sitting atop a hypnotic spiral, symbolising how he alters the mind state of his listeners. To celebrate his label, the initials of Billion Headz Money Gang are emblazoned across the chest with a bright pop of colour. On the back, the same bright colours feature in the number, 18, a nod to the year Sfera has reached his biggest achievements - so far.
2018 Nike Slam Jam Limited Edition Football Jersey
This shirt's number 14 pays homage to the Dutch legend Johan Cruyff. He chose to wear the number, despite it normally being reserved for substitutes at the time. While the inspiration is Dutch, the shirt's colours come from Slam Jam: black, white and red.
