With less than 100 days to go until the 2024 Olympics begin, Gauchoworld were invited by Nike to join them in a celebration of Air technology that's been propelling some of the world’s most elite talent for the best part of half a century. With the event being situated a stone’s throw from the Pompidou centre – that served as inspiration for Tinker Hatfield’s redesign of the Nike Air range nine years from its inception – a few large orange statues featuring some of Nike’s most revered talent marked what was one of the most anticipated events on the Nike cultural calendar.

In the last decade, the ascendance of Paris Saint Germain has been the most clear example of what it means to be more than a football club. As a club with glorious domestic history, situated in one of the most prominent fashion capitals of the world, they’ve always generated appeal beyond the pitch.

However, when David Beckham swapped Manchester for Madrid 20 years ago, the landscape for a professional footballer, even an esteemed one like himself, was a whole lot different.

Good Spirit are rolling back the good times with their latest shirt drop, inspired by the ecstasy of winning trophies as a youngster.

Hector Bellerin moved to London to join Arsenal at the tender age of 16, but it’s back home in Barcelona where his appreciation for fashion was really born.
