I really like it …separately. I’m sure the dark shorts will grow on me though.
niche but maybe someone will understand, lol: The launch reminds me of the ASICS collab with P Andrade in 2024.

This one was published in late April, and is more Gotham-centric (understandable) but a couple interesting tidbits nonetheless.
Some quotes:
> The team knew Reiten’s contract expired in the summer. They took advantage of their trip to London in January for the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup to meet her — or “the moment we were allowed to, by the rules,” as Yael Averbuch West, Gotham’s general manager and head of soccer operations, told The Athletic.
> Averbuch West on Wednesday declined to specify with reporters any details of Reiten’s contract, but said she is among several Gotham players who qualify for HIP.
> At first, the plan was for Reiten to join the NWSL team over the summer. But as Gotham’s needs changed, so did the team’s urgency to have her in the U.S.
The most above-board interpretation is that the club were going to let her leave on a free anyways, but Gotham wanted her early, so they worked out the formal loan. I'd guess, however, one only had to look at her fall/winter deployment to push her up the top of list of players to pursue.
