Celebrate Pride 2023 and allyship in sport with a brand new collaboration between adidas and South African designer Rich Mnisi—a unique collection inspired by the ethos ‘Let Love Be Your Legacy’. With a shared ambition to encourage and empower freedom of expression without bias in all spaces of sport and culture, the adidas x RICH MNISI vanity in FIFA 23 is inspired by a ‘love letter’ Mnisi wrote to his younger self—a rallying cry for active allyship to champion the LGBTQIA+ community. The collection’s colour palette is vibrant and the slogans ‘Love Unites’ and ‘Let Love Be Your Legacy’ printed on the fabric embolden its wearer to lead with love and uphold inclusive values.
The adidas x RICH MNISI collection will be available in FIFA 23 and wearable in-game across two game modes in VOLTA Football and FUT on May 15th.
Rich Mnisi is one of the African continent’s most prolific creative multi-hyphenates. The creative director and fashion designer grew up pop culture obsessed, with strong cultural roots of his own as a proud member of South Africa's Tsonga tribe and as a member of a family with inspiring matriarchs. This background has served as a key inspiration in his ever-contemporary work—Mnisi has cultivated a compelling and immediately recognisable visual language that effectively showcases his talent and sharp vision as a graphic surface and textile designer, storyteller, and creative director. There’s an inimitable spark in the vivid dreamscapes that each collection’s story comes from. His work style is as versatile as he is, allowing him to change mediums with ease and partner with others seamlessly.
