For Holiday 2014, Nike F.C. turns its focus toward Berlin, Germany — a breeding ground of young football stars who have taken their skills from the streets to glory at the world’s most celebrated tournament.
Here, Nike F.C. members Kevin-Prince Boateng, a notoriously combative midfielder, and his brother Jérôme, a rock-solid defender who recently wrote his name in the history books in Brasil, honed their skills on Berlin’s unforgiving battlegrounds.
The brothers say the experience gave them an edge that training on grass never could. Learning to play on Berlin’s harsh concrete pitches has pushed progress in German football, influencing every player with a will to win as solid as the surfaces they grew up playing on.
A new addition, the Nike F.C. Scarf, pays homage to the football supporter’s essential accessory while the Nike F.C. AW77 Crew’s bold stripe signifies the audacious German playing style.
Emblazoned with a series of stars, the Nike F.C. AW77 Hoodie and Nike F.C. Stars Top celebrate the climax of Europe’s premier club competition taking place in Berlin in 2015.
