Sport Takes Center Stage In Fine Art

…Travis’ next frontier? Soccer.  Combining a timeless shoe like the cult favorite Total 90 soccer boot with Cactus Jack and we’ve got a classic on our hands. Time to load up the SNKRS app in 2025.

All the homies have been playing golf since COVID. That growth has developed a huge demand for content, and the YouTube subs are BOOMING for creators. 

We love the NBA Cup around here, colorful courts and all. But it’s not reaching international soccer cup diehard status. Maybe it adopts other soccer cup tenets like incorporating teams from other countries? KD vs. Olympiacos would be must-see tv, maybe even in Piraeus.

Cole Palmer and Kobbie Mainoo are England’s new kids on the block. Through their rise at rival teams and on The Three Lions, the two Mancunian friends grace the cover of GQ’s Men Of The Year Issue in some very dapper Burberry suits.

Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson will consume all the headlines, but don’t sleep on the co-main event.We’ve got our eyes on Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano, who had the greatest woman’s fight ever two years ago. This rematch will be the best matchup Friday night.

Sports fans and art lovers are having a collective moment right now. This time, it goes beyond a fashion brand linking with a sports league, or an artist name dropping an athlete on a song.

There are some incredible art exhibits across the country right now catered around sports. These showcases span from San Francisco to Miami, where the universal themes around sports resonate to a broader audience to provide a powerful message.

There’s currently over 200 artworks and design objects on display at the San Francisco MoMA. Its exhibit, Get in The Game: Sports, Art, Culture, analyzes the role athletes play in American society. It even got Paige Bueckers, who was perpetually outside this offseason, to record a dope promo as she dribbled around the museum.

Bueckers isn’t the only athlete to have a crossover event at a museum. Hockey phenom Connor Bedard recreated the scene from “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” for Chicago Magazine at the Art Institute of Chicago, and it’s tastefully done.

If nostalgia is more of your flavor, get ready to feel like a kid in the 90s again. Post House’s latest exhibit, Just Frame It: How Nike Turned Sports Stars into Superheros, has all of the popular posters from 30 years ago on display in New York City. Here’s hoping I can find my old Michael Jordan and Stone Cold Steve Austin posters on the wall again.

And Florida is all the way in with The Norton Museum of Art’s, Strike Fast, Dance Lightly: Artists on Boxing, that features work from Jean-Michel Basquiat and drawings by Muhammad Ali in West Palm Beach. And for the Art Basel regulars, OG4ever’s gallery in Wynwood will pay tribute to the beautiful game with Sport = Art.

The growth of women’s sports can’t stop, and it won’t stop. It’s expanding beyond the leagues we’ve come to grow and love, like basketball and soccer, and providing opportunities for more female athletes than ever before to continue their careers after college.

From 2025, there will be an all-new Women’s Lacrosse League in partnership with the Premier Lacrosse League. The news was so massive that the representatives of the PLL and soon-to-be formed WLL rang the Closing Bell in Times Square!

Then, we go from the field to the ice, where the Professional Women’s Hockey League just wrapped up its inaugural season this year, and you’ll soon be able to play with all six PWHL teams on NHL 25. EA Sports will incorporate the league in an update next month, and they plan to do player face scans once the rosters are finalized for the upcoming season.

There will soon be THREE professional women’s volleyball leagues in America. We already have the Pro Volleyball Federation and Athletes Unlimited, but now League One Volleyball will enter the fold with $60 million in funding for the six-team league. We can’t get enough volleyball games in our life, and thankfully the sport is expanding beyond college and the Olympics for these talented athletes.

Investment in women’s sports isn’t just happening in America. There’s $500 million in private money pouring in for a women’s cricket league in India, currently in its second season. 

England has completely restructured its women's soccer leagues due to the growing demand. With more fans in attendance and its current league rights agreement expiring after this season, more money will continue to flow into the Women’s Super League and Women’s Championship to attract the best players in the world.

We salute these trailblazers for living out their dreams, and breaking glass ceilings for the next generation.
