If you’ve not yet heard of Pelé Sports, it’s a great new sportswear brand that infuses everything that it designs with the ‘futebol bonito’ spirit of the great man himself. The company philosophy is to focus on footballers’ needs, whether they’re professional players, those who like a kick about with mates down the park, or fashion-conscious fans of the beautiful game – that’s why their range is split into three; Performance, Pelada (‘naked’ in Portuguese) and the Pelé story.

It’s a brand based around the pure joy of the game, a philosophy much the same as ours here at AFR. Put in their own words, Pelé Sports’ mantra is “high quality products that tell a story and help Pelé fulfil the goal of giving back to the game he loves”. We were lucky enough to try out some of the products from their ‘Pelada’ range, and we thought they were great.

The full zip track top was quality for wearing over your football gear when warming up or travelling to a game/training session. It’s pretty swish in plain black and looked good over loads of different-coloured clothes. It’s a classy look with some nice touches like the embroidered logos, sewed labels on the cuffs and detailed metal zip. Have a butchers at the close-up pictures for a detailed look. AFR thumbs-up!

We also really liked the Grand Master t-shirt. It felt casual enough to wear for a kick-around with mates but cool enough to wear out and about as well. The lettering on the front is made from lots of little football panel details which is a nice touch. Grandmaster Flash and Pelé is a great combo – wonder whether they’ll team up and release a Futebol Bonito-inspired music single… Click here to check out the whole Pelada range as well as all of Pelé Sports’ other products.
