The latest Daniel Arsham collaboration has roots in the team sport of football. Created in partnership with the International Champions Cup, the range spans 10 design objects that fall into the category of "custom relic collection and merchandise."
The International Champions Cup x Daniel Arsham collaboration will be released in installments through a temporary pop-up shop. The design-forward activation celebrates the summer tournament of the football organization. The objects on display take on the ubiquitous decaying aesthetic of Arsham's work. One of the sculptures that is showcased through this event is actually a "replica of the soccer ball Drake presented at the 2017 Manchester Derby ICC match."
Merchandise includes limited edition hoodies, jerseys, tees, scarves, and soccer balls.
