Berlin was a soccer hotbed way before the Germans brought the World Cup home from Brazil this past summer.
Littered throughout the city are concrete pitches known as bolzplätze, where Nike F.C. members Kevin Prince Boateng and Jerome Boateng remember getting their competitive edge. According to the brothers, there's lessons to be learned on the concrete that grass could never teach. That's why Nike F.C. looked to the city of Berlin for its Holiday 2014 collection. Channeling the influence of the concrete pitch, pieces like the Nike F.C. AW77 Crew, Nike F.C. Scarf and the Nike F.C. Stars Top signify the audacious German playing style.
Get a brief look at Nike F.C.'s Holiday 2014 collection in the gallery above and head over to Nike to view the collection in its entirety.
