Art of Defence – Nico Schlotterbeck’s “Inspired by” range

Under the motto “Art of Defense,” the collection perfectly captures what Nico Schlotterbeck stands for on the pitch.

For over four years, he has been a mainstay in Dortmund’s defense, and now he is also making his artistic mark beyond the grass. What becomes visible on the pitch in uncompromising tackles, demanding headers, and game-opening passes is reflected in the styles of his own collection through hand-drawn match scenes, heat maps, and other details.

A collection with its own signature style

The “Art of Defense” pieces are deliberately rooted in a fashion and streetwear context. The collection presents itself as an independent brand with artistic ambition and a pared-down, urban aesthetic.

The line includes a premium tracksuit, a black T-shirt for adults and children, a white T-shirt, a cap, and slides as a standout piece. They are among Nico’s favorite shoes off the pitch and were therefore included in the collection as a personal statement.

All the other pieces also pick up on the “Art of Defense” theme and express Nico’s personality as well as his distinctive style of play through their details and design.

The new “Art of Defense – Inspired by Nico Schlotterbeck” collection is now available in the BVB online shop – only while supplies last.
