Nike and Travis Scott's Mad Maximus Took Over Coachella

Your Weekly Digest of Soccer, Style, and Culture Across the CONCACAF Region

Welcome to Edition 37 of The Forty-One Life. This week, we’re outside—from the locker rooms of D.C. to the dust of the California desert. Washington Spirit and Dead Dirt dropped a capsule that taps into early 2000s DMV style, flipping Polo Rugby nostalgia into a bold new vision for women’s soccer fashion. We went inside Nike and Travis Scott’s Mad Maximus tournament at Coachella, where 1v1 street football took center stage. FIFA’s putting real money behind the game with a $1M legacy pledge to each Club World Cup host city, and KITH is rolling out its latest collab with adidas in true KITH fashion. All that, plus more.
