Bunyamin Aydin, founder and creative director, Les Benjamins, said of this opportunity of a lifetime, “I grew up with football back in Germany playing in Neuss at age 6. My parents would support me and watch all my training sessions. Coca-Cola x Les Benjamins is inspired by vintage advertising and the 70's & 80’s football era. Maradona, Pele and Beckenbauer are all icons that inspired me to design this collection. My signature carpet pattern, football culture and tailoring elements form the melting pot of a very unique offering.''
