Los Angeles, California – 26 April 2010 – The dead pigeon people are at it again. Calle Republic has been focused on the game we all grew up playing: soccer in the street with trash can goals; games on the school basketball or tennis court; parking lot ball; etc. They tried to promote these games with giveaways and events. They are even working on a website called Calle Underground that will broker games. (Look for the announcement here when it is ready)
Over the past few years, they have watching the way people play, dress and live the street game. That is definitely influencing the way there gear has evolved. We hear rumors that they are creating a new “street” image that will be separated from both the grass pitch and indoor gear. We have seen some of of this in the fantastic Rilo street shoes (see the ASER review) and the new Smooth Criminal ball. The next step is clothes that are unique to the street look.
The marketing folks at most of the manufacturers usually make sure AVID Soccer knows about any big release. Calle has been holding this one very close to the vest. They wouldn’t even give us pictures for the big contest giveaway… until now.
Calle Republic Prize Package
We just received samples of the prize package that Calle is providing. It will be a custom package for the contest winner and includes some of their newest and hottest looks from their collection. They sent us a florescent green Smooth Criminal ball, ladies Lox v-neck, FTP and Antram tees for the guys, a new ball sack (our favorite light bag) and the Willow shorts. The ball and shorts are a complete departure from what Calle has done before. Look for reviews on ASER in the next few weeks.
