NSS x Puma Vulcan Jersey
 
nss and PUMA present a unique jersey that unites two worlds that are distant - geographically - but close, celebrating the brotherhood between Naples and the Japanese city of Kagoshima. In a historical moment in which travel and contact with other cultures is temporarily impossible, the Volcano Shirt is a tool to travel with the mind through the universal language of football style. The point of contact is offered by nature, generating two volcanoes separated by 13 thousand kilometers but incredibly similar: Vesuvius and Sakurajima, two symbols that make their respective cities iconic.
 
The slopes of the two "twins" are the editorial set - inspired by the gorpcore trend - shot in parallel in Japan and Italy, the first step to build a positive narrative that starts from Naples and reaches all over the world. The shirt is in slick gray and is populated by references to the aesthetics of Japanese football jerseys. The all-over graphic that symbolizes the fire and magma of the volcanoes is inspired by the pattern of the PUMA jerseys of the Japanese national team of the 90s. The emblem that recalls the nature of the two mountains and the nss sports logo that gives the impression of shattering as the rocksafter an explosion. But it is the details that make the jersey unique: along the entire jersey there is a pattern with the names and coordinates of the volcanoes, in order to build an ideal geographical link between the two places.
