Colm Dillane, better known by his creative moniker KidSuper, spent his childhood traversing cities from New York to Chicago, Mexico, and Wisconsin. The son of a soccer‑enthusiast, he inherited a lifelong passion for the sport that would later become a cornerstone of his artistic identity.
After earning a degree from New York University, Dillane launched his eponymous label, using the KidSuper name to fuse streetwear aesthetics with high‑concept design. The brand quickly became a platform for experimental collaborations, but soccer remained a constant thread in his work.
In 2017 he transformed the roof of his Brooklyn studio into a makeshift pitch, a space where he could experiment with the rhythm of the game. From that improvisation emerged KidSuper Samba AC, a youth soccer club in Harlem that marries Brazilian‑style play with art and fashion, turning the neighborhood into a living gallery of movement and color.
A limited‑edition collaboration
Now the designer is taking that vision beyond the streets. In partnership with Bank of America and Complex, KidSuper is releasing a limited‑edition soccer jersey that aims to broaden access to the sport across America. The piece, available through the Complex Shop, features artwork that reflects the club’s cultural mash‑up and Dillane’s signature visual language.
The jersey’s design is more than a garment; it is a statement that soccer speaks a universal language without words. By embedding the club’s ethos into the fabric, Dillane hopes to invite new audiences to experience the game’s communal spirit, regardless of background or skill level.
Fans can purchase the exclusive jersey on Complex’s online store, where the collaboration’s story is documented alongside behind‑the‑scenes insights. The release marks a convergence of sport, art, and finance, illustrating how creative enterprises can leverage partnerships to champion inclusivity.
