New Balance and Korean design studio NivelCrack, have unveiled a limited edition Baiteze FC drop for the 2021/22 season.
Featuring an England lion and South Korean tiger across the designs, the ‘East meets West’ collection is inspired by unity across football’s global community and celebrates the coming together of two vibrant worlds - East London and West Seoul.
The ten-piece capsule includes a custom Baiteze football shirt, in a bold camouflage print in black and blue, alongside the squad’s signature orange tones.
A bespoke jacket, bucket hat, t-shirt, cap, jacket, hoodie, and sweatpants are also added to the collection, with each item created to express the feeling of togetherness and being part of a team.
Speaking on the reveal, Baiteze Director Ebenezer Gyamerah said:
“Baiteze FC is excited about the ‘East Meets West’ collaboration with Nivelcrack and the opportunity to celebrate two grassroots communities that continually push the boundaries of what it means to be part of a local team. The collection uses bespoke design to highlight the universal language of football and how it unites people the world over whether from London or Seoul”.
Founded in 2017, Baiteze Squad currently plays in the Essex Sunday Corinthian League, with matches taking place at Oakside Stadium.
The reveal coincides with New Balance’s renewal of its sponsorship of Baiteze FC for the 2021/22 season. The agreement will see the brand continue to provide the East London outfit with all technical wear, after a second successful season as grassroots football partner.
As part of the global collaboration, a limited number of products will be available from Baiteze and NivelCrack’s stores from 9AM BST on 1st October.
