In the previous post we presented the England Team Kit designed by James Jarvis. The Brazil Kit comes as a collaboration by Nike Sportswear with local artist Nunca.
Inspired by Incan symbolism and a primitive style of graffiti called “Pixação,” Sao Paolo street artist Nunca crafted a unique Brazilian kit that connects the people of the favelas to the sport they hold dear. Five stars within the otherworldly, eye-like crest symbolize Brazil’s five championship wins, and Nunca’s hieroglyphic handwriting and pattern (lining the hoodie) connects the kit to the ancients in a modern way.
The Brazil Team Kit includes polo shirts, the AW77 hoodie, the Nike Air LunarLite Rejuven8 Mid, a Dunk Hi AC and more.
Detailed images of the Nike Sportswear x Nunca Brazil Team Kit follow after the jump.
