Nike has just gone live with its latest football video campaign and like us, you probably missed a boat load of hidden gems. Filled to the brim with stars and athletes, we can’t blame you for not spotting the special edition Nike x PAISABOYS jersey that Mexico’s best striker Raúl Jiménez was wearing. If you did catch it, kudos to you.

To a lot on this side of the pond who might not have heard of the PAISABOYS before, they’re the UK equivalent of Ultralight London or Drama Calls if you’re up Norf.
Keeping it within the team’s traditional green, white and red colours, the collaborative details arrive via a custom Mexico spellout logo and light green thorn decals across the sleeves and bottom half.
Check out the other PAISABOYS collections and you’ll notice the thorn and barbed wire motif throughout, a symbol of sacrifice and perseverance, important traits within the immigrant experience and when pursuing greatness in sport.

Balanced between football and streetwear, the jersey is proudly worn by Raúl Jiménez in the ‘Rip The Script’, a bookmark moment for both brands and the striker himself. Having worked with other national icons like Canelo Álvarez in the past, as well as the recent Toma La Noche (Take The Night) Nike tournament they hosted, the PAISABOYS are collecting these moments like it’s nobody’s business.

If you’re after the Nike x PAISABOYS Mexico jersey yourself, then you’re in luck, as the special edition jersey will be available in limited quantities in Mexico and the United States through select retailers. No news of a UK has been announced just yet, so keep it locked to The Sole Supplier where we can keep you updated.
