Nivelcrack releases a collaboration dedicated to the Mate
More than a capsule, more than just a beverage
May 22nd, 2024
Nivelcrack, the creative studio based in Seoul specializing in the intersection of football and fashion, releases a capsule collection dedicated to mate. For the Albiceleste Selection, mate is more than just a beverage. It is an indispensable element during the pre-match rituals of the National Team and a source of inspiration for on-field performances. Additionally, it is a convivial way for the team to alleviate tension before and after matches. During the 2022 World Cup, the Argentine national football team brought along 500 kg of yerba mate to Qatar: images and videos of the players enjoying the beverage circulated worldwide, and mate gained even more popularity than it already had before the sporting event.
Nivelcrack's capsule collection includes tracksuits, shorts, t-shirts, and mate cups. All items are distinguished by artwork created by the Argentine artist Gordopelota. The cups feature the copy "Més que un cafe" in both white and black versions, while the tracksuit vaguely recalls the design of the pre-match tracksuits that Argentina will wear for the highly anticipated Copa América scheduled for June 21, 2024, complete with sky blue inserts that recall the details of adidas' Teamgeist template.
