We already showed you the football scarf that comes along with the latest issue of Arkitip. Issue no. 0055 is all about the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

“This special issue of Arkitip Magazine celebrates the world’s greatest sporting spectacle—the FIFA World Cup—seen through the eyes of New York City’s own Chinatown Soccer Club with support from official FIFA sponsor adidas.

Founded in 2002, the Chinatown Soccer Club is a crew of artists, photographers, designers, writers, skateboarders and like-minded creative individuals. This diverse collective, united by a passion for this beautiful game, converges on New York City’s Chinatown year-round in all weather and seasons for friendly morning matches before heading to work.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World Cup, the premier international football tournament. It is scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July 2010 in South Africa. The World Cup is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, where an estimated 715.1 million people watched the final match of the 2006 World Cup held in Germany. Italy’s team are defending champions.”

After several preview videos, we can finally give you a detailed look at the collaboration between Incase and Chinatown Soccer Club from New York.

“Through common friends, shared interests and a mutual respect for each others’ brands and beliefs, Incase has joined forces with the Chinatown Soccer Club to create the Incase | CSC Soccer Bag, available today in highly-limited edition. Designed to meet the group’s very particular needs–on the pitch, in the office and all points in between–the Incase | CSC Soccer Bag marries Incase’s signature industrial design aesthetic and device-driven functionality with ergonomic features and soccer-specific storage all in a durable, lightweight design.

The Incase | CSC Soccer Bag is a manifestation of the team’s creative professions and recreational passion for soccer. Combining the essential functions of a sport duffel bag with the best protective elements of an Incase backpack, the Incase | CSC Soccer Bag is a versatile, all-weather bag with exceptional functionality. The Incase | CSC Soccer Bag features durable and lightweight sailcloth construction for strength and tear resistance. A weatherproof padded notebook sleeve keeps essential technology guarded, while a removable shoe bag and waterproof soccer ball compartment secure game essentials. For easy transport, especially for those who commute via bike, the Incase | CSC Soccer Bag features padded shoulder straps and back panel for increased comfort and ergonomic support.”

To celebrate the NYC launch of their collaboration, Incase and the CSC will create a Clubhouse located across the street from the club’s home turf in the Lower East Side. Located at 195 Chrystie Street, the CSC’s temporary home will feature artifacts to showcase the club’s history ranging from photography to posters, jerseys and trophies and present the club’s positive interpretation of soccer and soccer culture. The Clubhouse will be open daily from 12 p.m. to 7 p.m. starting April 29 through May 2.
