KITH, Cactus Jack, and Reggae Rovers
Your Weekly Digest of Soccer, Style, and Culture Across the CONCACAF Region
Welcome to Edition 38 of The Forty-One Life. We’re back with another stacked week of culture, style, and stories rooted in the game. KITH and adidas Football just dropped their latest collab—premium textures, clean silhouettes, and football energy off the pitch. We pulled up for Weekend 2 of Nike x Cactus Jack’s Mad Maximus tournament at Coachella to catch more 1v1 madness in the desert. We also took a look at the deep, often overlooked history of soccer in New Orleans, and Episode 1 of the Reggae Rovers docuseries is officially live, spotlighting the Caribbean club that put the world on notice at TST.

Kith and adidas Football are back with a new drop that blends pitch-ready performance with off-field polish. The collection flips adidas staples using premium fabrics—think wool, leather, and heavyweight cotton. Highlights include custom “Keith” tees, monogrammed kits, nappa leather jackets, tailored suiting, and sport-inspired accessories. It’s football style, leveled up.

THE BEAUTIFUL GAME
Built from the Boot: A Brief History Of Soccer in New Orleans.

New Orleans has a deep sports history, is home to several professional teams, and has hosted the Super Bowl a joint-record 11 times. But when it comes to soccer, that history has been buried, leaving little room for growth. For a city that is the first documented site of soccer in America, it is disappointing that there is yet to be a professional soccer team in the city of New Orleans. However, there is still hope and faith for NOLA’s soccer community to grow in the future, and so Forty-One makes a case for why pro soccer needs New Orleans.
MOVES
WPSL PRO to launch as a Division II Women’s league
WPSL PRO is officially launching in 2026 as a second-division professional women’s soccer league in the U.S., sitting just below the NWSL and USL Super League. Backed by the Owners of Women’s Premier Soccer League, the new league will feature 10 to 12 teams in its first season and aims to expand professional opportunities for players while helping grow the women’s game across more cities. It’s a major move toward building a stronger, more connected soccer pyramid for women in the U.S.
