Having brought cheer to the basketball scene through a most recent PUMA Basketball collaboration in the summer, Chinatown Market have returned with another Smiley drop, this time on an allover globe print football.

The design, which is a real studio wall essential, features a map of the world and while you naturally wouldn't want it to give it a single scuff, the ball has been designed for gameplay in mind. In texture, weight and size - everything meets regulation as the LA based brand turn to football for their latest streetwear turned sports link up.

As well as the complete globe print, the large smiley emblem shines along side the Chinatown Market logo which sits comfortably on both sides of the ball in black. The ball is packaged in a designer-stamped box so all those premium touches are naturally taken care of with this release. An exclusive to Harvey Nichols online store, the 'Chinatown Market X Smiley Globe Print Soccer Ball' is priced at £50 GBP.

Dipping their toes into the football space for this drop, lets hope there's more game inspired pieces due soon.
