The Attaquer x Kappa Collaboration is Pretty Rad
Sometimes, the most unexpected pairings can yield truly remarkable results. Take, for instance, the unlikely combination of ice cream and fries at Maccas or the beloved duo Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street. On the surface, these pairings may seem mismatched, but somehow, they create something oh-so delicious.
Now, imagine blending two of the greatest sports on Earth: Cycling and Soccer. At first thought, you might assume that these two great pursuits wouldn’t mesh well together. However, that assumption couldn’t be further from the truth. Why? Because I’ve spent the last two hours engrossed in the captivating world of Radball, and I’m completely hooked.
What’s even more exciting is that Attaquer and Kappa have joined forces to celebrate this wonderful union. This Attaqa fusion blends technical and casual pieces, tapping into the rich heritage of Italian football, the golden age of Italian cycling during Kappa’s reign, and the cult following of Radball. So whether you love to compete on the pista or the pitch, the range appeals to fans of all three sports.
