Here’s something you don’t see often ever. A collaboration between a professional American athlete, a European Football Club and a shoe company. If you know me at all, you probably know these are three of my favorite things. So, check this shit out.
Following the highly anticipated US Tour of the English Premier League’s Chelsea Football Club to the US for “friendly” matches in summer 2009, one loyal, yet unexpected, fan’s enthusiasm has spurred the creation of a limited-edition shoe to celebrate the camaraderie of sport. Long standing CFC fan, NBA All-Star Kevin Garnett was the inspiration behind the new CFC-themed adidas TS Commander LT.
Boston-based trend retailer, Bodega, will offer an exclusive CFC tribute package consisting of the TS Commander LT x KG x CFC, a CFC Bodega team scarf and CFC replica jersey featuring Garnett’s name and number on the back. The package will be sold exclusively at Bodega for $275 starting August 29th.
I can’t help but be a little bummed that I cannot participate in the release of this kit as I wouldn’t be caught dead in Chelsea gear. Go Devils.
