Kounde's choice of attire didn't go unnoticed as he confidently strode into Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys before Barcelona's thrilling 3-2 victory against Celta Vigo. The collaboration between Nigo, a fashion visionary, and the iconic Japanese national team's jersey was already a hit among football enthusiasts. However, with Diana Al Shammari's creative brilliance, the shirt became a true fashion statement, captivating every football fashionista.
While Kounde's choice in football attire raised some eyebrows among Barcelona fans, given the team's Nike affiliation, it's clear that his style transcends brand boundaries. The special edition Japan x Nigo shirt, inspired by traditional Japanese culture and craftsmanship, drew him in with its minimalistic and classical design. The combination of pale mauve and fresh green pays homage to the symbolic colors of cherry blossoms and the beloved seasonal confectionery, "Sakuramochi." Such attention to detail reflects Kounde's deep appreciation for Japan's rich cultural heritage.
To infuse more of Japan's essence into this ensemble, designer Shammari, who drew inspiration from broader Japanese culture, particularly during the spring season, symbolizing new beginnings. The square patterns adorning the back of the shirt pay tribute to a traditional Japanese embroidery technique known as Sashiko. Originally used during the Edo period (1603-1868) to strengthen and mend clothing, Sashiko adds an authentic touch to Kounde's ensemble.
Kounde's choice introduces the world of football fashion to the captivating technique of Sashiko, a fusion of traditional artistry and modern style. Now, you have the chance to incorporate this unique trend into your wardrobe with these exquisite pieces, which are being restocked for a limited time only.
