Annual footwear, music, art, and lifestyle festival Sole DXB has partnered with Kappa to create a limited-edition football kit collection featuring jerseys, shorts, tracksuits, and socks.
Following a two-year hiatus, sneaker and hip-hop festival Sole DXB is set to make a triumphant return. For those that aren’t familiar, it’s a three-night event developed by Sole featuring live music performances, workshops, discussions, sports tournaments, film screenings and more, hosted in Dubai. The last one back in 2019 boasted an impressive footfall of over 36,000 attendees, with 100+ performances from the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Stormzy and Petra Collins. Quite the event by all accounts. And with the World Cup shining a spotlight on football culture in the Middle East, Sole has taken the opportunity to team up with Italian sportswear brand, Kappa, to create a limited-edition football kit collection to promote the event.
The collection features several retro-fuelled kits, all arriving in core colourings with standout sublimated designs and delicious collars. All boast a specially produced Sole crest, with the wording ‘Sole DXB’ taking up residence in the sponsor slots. The kits are also supported by a brown and gold tracksuit that follows suit with one of the shirts.
Annoyingly, if you’re not heading to the festival then you’re unlikely to be able to top any of this collection as it will be sold exclusively at Sole DXB as a nod to the festival’s first-ever community football cup, taking place on-site throughout the weekend.
