The collection, inspired by football’s presence in everyday Brazilian life, stems from the understanding that being a fan goes far beyond the 90 minutes of a match. For New Balance, the club is an extension of the supporter’s identity, something lived daily both inside and outside the stadium. Based on this concept, the capsule was developed as a tribute to football culture and the São Paulo fan community, translating that passion into unisex, timeless pieces connected to today’s urban fashion.

Among the highlights of the collection are the black short-sleeve jersey and the white long-sleeve jersey, inspired by traditional vintage football shirts but reinterpreted with a modern approach and exclusive watermark details featuring the SPFC initials, reinforcing the capsule’s visual identity.

The collection also includes pieces such as a bomber jacket inspired by vintage college aesthetics, jerseys in different fits, including a cropped version, and a T-shirt with a print alluding to the tricolor supporters’ metro arrival, expanding the possibilities for wear and reinforcing the line’s lifestyle proposal. Each item was designed to move naturally between the stadium and everyday life, following football’s evolution as a cultural and aesthetic language.

“This Football Culture SPFC collection represents an even deeper dive into New Balance’s lifestyle territory within football and with the club. Our goal was to create pieces that reflect the pride of São Paulo supporters in a modern way, strongly connected to urban fashion. Here, we bring New Balance’s distinctive edge, offering a complete range of products for the fans while also delivering pieces designed for the expression of identity and belonging, bringing together sport, culture, and style,” says Leandro Moraes, brand director at Grupo DASS.

From the earliest research stages to the final conception of the pieces, the entire collection was developed over approximately 12 months. The process began with harmonizing the club’s historic codes with contemporary references from global streetwear, especially the blokecore movement, a trend that places football at the center of fashion and urban culture. Another central element of the capsule is its exclusive typography. The entire collection uses a blackletter aesthetic to reinterpret São Paulo FC’s visual identity, creating a signature that connects legacy, present, and future. The result is a bold and cosmopolitan graphic language, using club symbols in design elements that reinforce the collection’s fashion-driven angle.

Each piece carries carefully crafted special details, such as exclusive labels with the phrase “Hail the Tricolor Paulista!”, a direct reference to the history and heritage of the club anthem and the historic pride of being a São Paulo supporter. The club crest is present on most pieces, but it also makes room for a reinterpretation of the SPFC initials, which take center stage in different applications and finishes, creating a direct dialogue between tradition and modernity throughout the line.

The new Football Culture SPFC capsule by New Balance with São Paulo Futebol Clube will be launched this Monday, May 18, and will be available on the brand’s official website.
