Sportswear giant Adidas is making waves with the launch of the world’s first “functional football thobe.” Designed in collaboration with French-Malian photographer Emile Samory-Fofana, this innovative garment aims to bridge the gap between faith and football.
The traditional white thobe, typically worn for Friday prayers, gets a sporty makeover with the iconic Adidas logo on the chest and three stripes running down the sides. This unexpected partnership reflects the multifaceted role football plays in many cultures, often acting as a unifying force similar to religion and spirituality.
