Stay calm and carry on screaming

IF YOU don’t have a World Cup T-shirt in your team colours by now, shame on you! Fortunately, however, Adidas Originals tops representing the five front-runners – Brazil, Germany, Italy, Spain and Mexico – are available right around the corner. 

The shirts are embroidered with the country’s flag on the left breast and the overall colour pattern matches the uniform of your favourite squad. 

The Brazil tee is vibrant in yellow and grey with a green neckline, whereas the Germany shirt stays a little calmer in white with a black neckline, an ideal partner for blue jeans. 

The red Spain tee has blue and yellow tabs, Mexico is green and black with a print of a football pitch, and Italy has the three tones of the national flag and Adidas logos on the sleeves.

You can go for the Football Battle Pack, which comes with Adidas sneakers adapted to resemble jazzy soccer boots. Stan Smith tennis shoes carry a funky graphic design in black and white and Superstar 80s bear a portrait of Argentinean star Lionel Messi on the tongues. Samba Super has a wild print on the outsole covered with webbing, and Rivalry High leather sneakers are adorned with graphic prints and plastic tabs. 

There are Adidas Originals Concept Stores at Central World and Siam Center.
