While buzz words about the fashion of football may fly around, the evidence as to how one game has embraced another is there to see. As Nike brought their Phantom Tournament final to South London, the people of Peckham and from all over showed the genuine crossover where style and the sport mix. Picking out some of the strongest looks, enjoy a rundown from sneakers to sandals that had swoosh dreams all over.
Largely, the much talked about football / fashion crossover has eluded to the fact that football shirts have popped up in unsuspecting places. This may well be the case and of course, it's something we're very much into, but it should also be recognised that this crossover doesn't always have to be so obvious. The Nike Phantom boot is said to usher in a new era for the creative player, one who does it on the pitch as much as off it. With that in mind and taking the time to represent those who construct a good look, pick out those perfect matching pieces and still enjoy the big time football party, here's just a handful that stopped into Peckham as Nike packed the house with a Phantom Edge.
Well worn as we head into the weekend, the party in Peckham brought out some strong spots. Good germs for a good game - consider it some weekend purchasing inspiration. You can see more of what went down as the teams from the South were crowned champs in our round up here.
