LES BENJAMINS × SOCRATES

For the World Cup season, Les Benjamins and Socrates built something that sits at the intersection of football, culture, and craft. The new capsule collection draws from five football cultures — Turkey, France, Germany, Brazil, Mexico — and channels their energy into a single, considered design language.

The jerseys lead. Breathable mesh cuts that move between the pitch and the street, finished with gold foil prints and embroidery details that give the collection its distinct weight. This is performance and design treated as the same thing.

Running through it all is the halı saha — the carpet pitch. Anadolu geometry woven into polo shirt jacquard, traditional patterns remapped onto contemporary silhouettes. The Çintemani motif, a symbol of power and reign from Ottoman kaftans and tiles, becomes the collection's cultural anchor. Three stars on the crest for fifteen years of Les Benjamins. Number 10 on the back for football's most mythologised digit.

East and West. Past and present. The pitch and the pattern. Les Benjamins x Socrates finds where they meet.

Football as culture. Culture as craft. The pitch, the pattern, the jersey.
