As Things Stand

🇪🇸 vs 🇮🇹 Spain tops Italy in much anticipated match. Spain look to be firing on all cylinders so far. The big story is their two young wingers who are creating danger every time they get the ball: 21 year old Nico Williams and 16 year old Lamine Yamal
🇩🇰 vs 🏴 Disappointing match for England. A tie that feels like a loss. England have arguably the most talented squad in the Euros, but so far, they haven’t been able to get things going. A lot of talk has been made about the fact that Cole Palmer, the Premier League young player of the year winner, hasn’t played a single minute. The squad could definitely use his creativity out on the field, because right now they’re playing flat.
🇩🇪 vs 🇭🇺 Germany is on autopilot. And that’s not a bad thing. Germany is a well oiled machine, that looks very comfortable when they play, not letting the fact that they are hosting this tournament get to them.

He is Jose Mourinho

👟🦓🐐 We think this is a special one. Renowned football manager José Mourinho, currently at the helm of Fenerbahce, has surprised fans and fashion enthusiasts alike with his latest venture into the world of fashion. Mourinho has teamed up with Adidas and JJJJound for a fresh new collaboration just in time for the summer heat. Seeing Mourinho in this stylish campaign might have been unexpected, but it highlights his versatility and broad appeal. Known for his tactical prowess and charismatic personality on the football pitch, Mourinho is now making waves in the fashion world. His involvement adds a unique and authentic touch to the collection, bridging the gap between sports and lifestyle fashion.
In the latest ad campaign for JJJJound’s Adidas Samba collaboration, Mourinho is seen embracing the simple pleasures of life. The campaign features him sipping espresso, relaxing at a street cafe, enjoying a pastry while reading the newspaper, and holding a football—all in classic, leisurely style.
Flat-soled or "terrace" Adidas models have always been popular for their stylish and versatile look, especially in suede. This latest iteration is no exception and is expected to be a hit among both sneaker enthusiasts and those new to the JJJJound brand.
🌐💸 Take the ball home, and the 3 points. The collection, titled "José Mourinho for JJJJound & Adidas Originals," draws inspiration from football’s heritage and off-pitch looks. The new collection will be available on June 25th on JJJJound.com and on June 27th through wider distribution channels. The highlight of this collaboration is the latest version of the JJJJound x Adidas Samba. The sneaker features a tan suede upper with brown stripes and a gum sole, offering a fresh yet nostalgic take on the classic design. Priced at $160, this release is more accessible compared to the previous pairs, which retailed at $250.
