Chicago: Lend a Hand - Pop Up for the People @ PSA

I partnered with Favela FC and BYON to host a mutual aid event alongside PSA, and everyone came together to help make it a great success. Crossbar designed custom kits to commemorate the event, with proceeds going to ICIRR, and I feel incredibly privileged to have contributed a logo for this project.

I couldn’t help but take home the red special edition and am looking forward to wearing it in upcoming videos. It was a great opportunity for all of us to come together - eat some conchas, play what is now considered retro FIFA (a humbling reminder that I might be ancient, even by the longest and most legendary J-League careers), and actively do some good for the community.

Special thanks to Pablo at PSA - he’s doing some really great work, but what impressed me most was his commitment to helping others in the artist community through hosting events and workshops like his upcoming Brush Hour. PSA is a great space for creative people, located in Humboldt Park, an area where small businesses food, fashion, and the arts are really standing out right now.

Thank you to everyone who came out and took part in making the event a success. You continue to help build the soccer community in Chicago.
