To celebrate this year’s World Cup, Fred Perry have created a range of polos representing 12 of the top teams. “Each shirt is based on the classic Authentic fit silhouette, and features an oversized Laurel on the chest with the Country’s name, as it appears on the national strip, written below. The tipping on each shirt represents the colours in the national team kit, so whether you are a fan of the team or not, these polos perfectly fuse team colours with Fred Perry’s famous polo.” On pre-order at End, shipping first week of May.

The latest item to be revealed in Nike Sportswear’s impressive line up of World Cup 2010 products is a canvas Sweet Classic High. Paying tribute to Brazil, the sneaker is adorned both inside and out with imagery from Brazilian artist Nunca. Interestingly, the sneaker lacks both a Swoosh and the tell-tale Sweet Classic foxing stripe, bringing forth a distinctly different look than we’re used to seeing on this silo.

adidas has recently added two Sambas to the swelling range of World Cup 2010 product (though most of what we’ve seen so far has been from the Swoosh). The indoor footie sneakers come in basic leather color ups – black on white for the US and red on gum for Germany. Each shoe also includes a country-specific lace jewel. You can find them at HUF.

Following yesterday’s World Cup madness in London, Beinghunted has a great new feature on the “Brazil Black Pack” from Nike Sportswear.

Changing Brasil’s signature yellow to black – leaving only the crest in its traditional color – is a rather bold move. But an intentional one, of course. As a 5-time international football champion, Brasil’s team is well respected, even feared as a tough opponent. While on the field this toughness is evident through the team’s gameplay, before and after it will be the color scheme of this new capsule collection of jerseys, soft- and hardshells: The Brasil Black Pack!

Of a number of quality pieces, our favorite is the M-65 jacket pictured above. Limited quantities of these items will be available to the public at select retailers. Stay tuned for more.

Soccer is a big subject this year, wit the Euro Cup coming up in little time. Nike has already released a bunch of sneakers with the soccer theme and here is another one. Even though Brazil is not taking part in the Euro Cup this summer, they are still one of the most celebrated teams in the world and they sponsored by Nike, thus they now get their own Dunk Hi.
The Dunk comes in the taditional Brazilian colors – yellow/green on white base with a bit of patent leather around the toe box.
These are now available at The Darkside Initiative in San Francisco.
