Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Sneakers

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a FPS game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision. Serving as a reboot of the Modern Warfare sub-series, as well as the sixteenth overall installment in the COD series, it was released on October 25, 2019. This project is a tribute to the long-standing franchise.

Overview

Attempting to reflect the complexities of 2019 warfare is an compelling gambit, but it’s also a gamble. As as mainstream franchise with a reputation for run-n-gun immediate gameplay, this is a tough position from which to start discussing the complexities of war. And we have to say we really appreciate the effort that Infinity Ward & Co. have placed on this title, both in terms of story and technical evolution of the game which clearly steps up on graphics and realism. The game has hooked us for hundreds of hours already, and we’re still amused by the details such as the audio effects and the micro-movements when holding a weapon. That’s why we all agreed to work on a unique fashion item for this game.

Concept

After a couple of hours of brainstorming we decided to focus on a pair of sneakers “COD style”. The design should have been a combination of a military-grade gears together with the utilitarian trend that is taking fashion by storm.

And so our approach to this design was to infuse a few key elements to make these sneakers concept even more meaningful: a breathable and impermeable fabric like those you’ve seen before on Geox shoes, an easy-lock mechanism for the strings, a heavy duty shoe sole able to step on nails and spikes without making a dent, and a heel strap to further improve comfort and grip.

This is our first attempt on a sneaker design and we would love to hear your comments. So please do let us know your thoughts! And if you have your own sneaker design to show to the world, feel free to submit it to us.

AC Milan Streetwear Hoodie 2020

In 1899, two English expatriates—Herbert Kilpin and Alfred Edwards—founded Milan Foot-Ball and Cricket Club, known today around the world as A.C. Milan. We want to celebrate the 120th Anniversary with a limited edition design based on the legendary colors of the Italian club.

Overview

Here at SupeRanked we love football. And when it comes to think of a streetwear design based on a European club, our mind goes to what it has been nominated by the UEFA as one of the strongest equipo of all times: that AC Milan team that goes from 1988 to 1990. At that time Arrigo Sacchi was managing a perfect machine, sealed by an unparalleled showcase of talents (Baresi, Costacurta, Maldini, Tassotti) and made lethal by the greatest orange trio: Gullit, Van Basten, and Rijkaard.

Concept

This concept is a throwback tribute to that incredible era when Kappa was the sponsor. The Italian brand was already famous for experimenting with innovative designs, like it happened later on in the ’90s with a few other iconic kits supplied to Juventus FC.

With this in mind we’ve briefed a designer (and an AC fan) from Indonesia that knows those days very well, and together we’ve come up with this concept. We’re combining together the two souls of AC Milan: Rossonero stripes and classic white. But since we don’t want to mess up with tradition (i.e., the official kit) we’ve decided to go for a more playful project with a hoodie instead.

The badge (which was missing in some Kappa iterations from the ’80s) is reintroduced in our concept, along with San Giorgio’s cross and a higher percent of dark tones to provide better contrast.

AMD Threadripper T-Shirt

Are you guys as thrilled as we are for the new Threadripper 3000? That’s why we can’t stop thinking that Ryzen—and Threadripper, of course—are the coolest brands in the tech industry right now. I mean, 32 cores and 64 threads? That’s benchmark-licious! OK, we digress . . .

This is a different take on the design previously developed for our streetwear hoodie. We had fun creating the vectorial representation of a CPU and so we decided to propose it again with some minor amendments and stick it on the front of a T-shirt with a bit of an extra e-sports vibe. Basically, this is what we would love to wear if our hypothetical e-sports team was sponsored by AMD.

FC Juventus 2020 Yoga Kit

You can’t talk about AC Milan like in our previous concept without mentioning the all-time rivals of FC Juventus. The team located in Turin, also informally known as Juve, is one of the top ranking Italian football clubs. The Latin word Juventus means “youth”. The club also goes by several nicknames like the “The Old Lady”.

With an outstanding record of victories in Serie A, we wanted to celebrate the old lady by re-imagining their current design. It’s quite a controversial one actually, as it’s ditches the classic black/white stripes for a revolutionary half-and-half design with a hint of pink in the middle. According to the club, “the new kit is an invitation to fans to embrace a new thought”. And so we gave ourselves the challenge to work on this design and make it even more contemporary by applying it to a yoga kit for a “young lady” instead.

AC Milan 2020 Athleisure Outfit

While working at the previous concept for the AC Milan streetwear hoodie, we’ve been exploring quite a few directions and one of them had a more futuristic approach. The designer in this case took inspiration from videogames like Mirror’s Edge and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 as she was asking herself: “How would an AC Milan fan dress like in Night City?”. The result of this brainstorming is a quick sketch that falls somewhere in between.

Branding is more abstract in this concept, where the rossonero stripes are fading into a red and black fading bi-colored top combined with tight joggers. White elements from the Away Kit have been included. This is something that die-hard fans might not be able to fully endorse though. An example of how tricky it is to play with tradition would be the 2019-20 football jersey of Juventus FC which have been criticized by some for abandoning the iconic striped design.

About this concept:

  • Brand: Associazione Calcio Milan
  • Source of inspiration: athleisure & videogames
  • Designer: Andrea (Romania)

Could the future of athleisure for football teams go in this direction? We don’t know, but in the meantime we’d like to share this concept with you and definitely seek for your input. As always let us know what you think in the comments section down below, and don’t forget to rate this project.
