Chicagoland - Adidas US Denim Event

I was excited to help contribute to the recent @adidasfootball US Denim Event at @champssports It was a great weekend celebrating the relaunch of the 1994-style kit, giving a huge nod to the soccer community here in the city.

Chicago - Goru Kit Pop-Up

The Goru Kit pop-up was one of the best traveling displays I’ve seen in the city! Mitchell and Jeff were very helpful and knowledgeable. We talked about the unique specialties of the collection they had curated for Chicago. The display featured an impressive range of kits from Japan’s national teams as well as the J.League, but it also clearly had something for everyone.

Chicago Fire FC (Kit Hunt Pt.2) - Wicker Park

In this second and final installment of “Kit Hunt” I finally came across a great piece at Layers Vintage. I also wanted to highlight the impressive collection on display at Saturday’s Football, which they’ve been showcasing since the third kit event this past winter.

Chicago Fire FC (Kit Hunt Pt.1) - Wicker Park

Wicker Park has some of Chicago’s best vintage shops. In June, I organized a vintage market for my non-profit group, the Wicker Park Committee. While recruiting vendors for that event, I was fortunate to connect with so many people in the neighborhood who contribute to the independent business ecosystem—and I learned that many of them also have some incredible footy kits.
