A digital representation of what’s going to happen tomorrow.
The 32 bit mesh. 1,000 available, each with 180 hand stitched Italian leather panels. 9am CST.
32 Bit Mesh drops in one week.
Introducing…. the 32 Bit Mesh. Available next week.
180 hand-stitched polygons form an intricate mesh. A shape that’s easy to construct in a digital world, but much harder in our physical reality.
Look closer, and you’ll find a classic 32 panel ball ⚽️ hiding inside of it. The trick is to look for the cluster of triangles that combine to make a pentagon. Then you can adjust your eyes and reveal the 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons.
Only 1,000 made, individually numbered. Drops December 4th at 9am CST. Ships in time for Christmas.

A few months ago an agency I hadn't heard of reached out and asked if I could send them some balls to include in a photoshoot. Apparently the shoot involved some pro players, but it was a top secret project and they couldn't tell me much more about it than that.
Today I started getting tagged in the announcement of the EAFC 25 cover, and to my shock, I see 2 of my balls in the picture! 🤯
