One thing to look out for is our partnership with the good guys over at FootyAddicts. FootyAddicts are a tight-knit group of guys that organise, and let you organise, football games. The concept is simple but the execution has been genius and much in the vein of the Playground philosophy.

Look out for some collaborative pro and some Playground sponsored/hosted events. Until then, check out some of their Tees which are now available in our online store and better yet, get on their site, find a game and get involved!

Here is a newly released video from two of our good friends, Ethan Altmann and Tom Folan who happen to be two of the best freestylers and coolest people you’ll come across anywhere.

Check out the video to see an awesome array of combo’s and lowers for days and see why they are both very much #PlaygroundLegends.

In a friendly game between Brazil and Romania, ‘El Fenomeno’ was given a 15 minute run out as a final bow for the iconic striker and the video shows some of his thoughts and preparations in the time leading up to the big game. An excellent effort from Nike as per usual and sure to strike a chord with anyone with a passion for football and grew up watching the formerly ubituitious icon and features cameo appearances from some of today’s superstars undoubtedly influenced by Ronaldo such as Neymar and Robinho. A true, and forever, Playground Legend. Salute.
