The summer 2024 sports landscape has been dominated by major soccer events including UEFA Euro 2024, Copa América 2024 and the Paris Olympics. Concurrently, one of the hottest footwear trends of the moment has been the Adidas Samba and other terrace shoe styles, which have become staples in streetwear. With soccer fever at an all-time high, it’s no surprise that the influence of the sport has permeated the fashion world—not only with traditional soccer jerseys but also with curve-conscious, shirred upcycled jerseys.
Designer Conner Ives, known for repurposing vintage garments, including soccer jerseys, stands out when documenting the rise of shirred jerseys. His work epitomizes a unique style that resonates with both fashion enthusiasts and sports fans alike.
Additional designers who have embraced the trend include New York-based Recovered by Mia Miranda Marquez (who’s also dipped into the basketball space) and London-based Kitten Studio are two additional brands embracing the moment.
