Created by Buenos Aires-based artist Malena Guerrieri in collaboration with SUDESTADA, this limited edition introduces curated color palettes, special leather remnants, and, for the first time, the option to create a Bespoke Ball with our team.
Each kit includes everything you need to assemble and hand stitch a fully functional N3 football using reclaimed Argentine leather sourced from the sample archives and production remnants of Malena's family tannery.
For this edition, we went back into the tannery archive to explore the football as a design object through color, material, and composition. Choose from six curated palettes, each bringing together different colors, textures, and references, or work with us to develop your own combination.
Only 90 Collector's Edition kits are available.
CHOOSE YOUR PALETTE
WILD EARTH : browns, warm neutrals, and animal prints mixed with unexpected pops of color.
PRIMARY: White grounded with bold accents of red, blue, yellow, and green.
SKY BLUE: Soft blue and white leather in fresh, tonal combinations.
COLOR MIX: Bold combinations of contrasting colors and graphic compositions.
PASTELS: A soft mix of blush, lilac, cream, and muted neutral leathers in contrasting textures.
METALLIC BERRY: Rich burgundy and purple leathers with contrasting accents and unexpected metallic finishes.
BESPOKE BALL: work directly with our team to create your own color combination. Choose your preferred colors and explore available leathers and special materials with us to create a ball that is entirely your own.
Because we work with tannery remnants, exact colors, tones, and textures vary from kit to kit. Each palette follows its own visual direction, but no two balls will be exactly alike.
