What's up, folks? Last month I told you that el Rubius had been showing off the Sporting shirt on his livestream, but today things have gone up a notch: MadKat, el Rubius's brand, and Siroko have just dropped a collab trainer. It's a special edition of the Siroko ONE Infinity high-tops, and this isn't a lazy «slap the logo on and call it a day» kind of deal: each foot tells a different story.
The concept revolves around the duality of Japanese culture: the left foot represents hell and the right one, heaven. On the right shoe, for example, the upper has cloud relief details and the outer lace comes with charms of an angel cat and tiny mouse heads. A total nod to the cheeky MadKat universe, the brand that's already done collections with Batman, Rick and Morty, the Ninja Turtles and Fast & Furious, and which announced in February it was closing its «first chapter» to kick off a new era.

That's the whole point of the Siroko ONE line: trainers are sold one at a time. You pick the design and size for your left foot, you pick the ones for your right, and you build your pair. Want a black left and white right? Go for it. Siroko even has a builder tool so you can see how it looks before you buy. Just make sure you understand that the price you see on the website is for ONE shoe: you'll need two to actually wear them.
There are four designs and each one comes in left and right versions, so that's eight trainers total:
You'll find them all, with updated pricing and direct links, on my Siroko ONE trainers page, along with the Infinity, Nomad, Trainer and Racer regulars.
Each shoe costs €59.95, so the pair comes to €119.90, then you apply the discount from the ELOPI23 code when you pay on siroko.com. Returns to your Siroko wallet are free, just in case you get the size wrong.
To clean them: soft cloth and mild soap, brush for the suede parts, and keep them away from the washing machine and tumble dryer.
They're on pre-order, with very limited units and a countdown timer on the Siroko website. If you fancy them, better not sleep on it – with el Rubius's pull, these are going to sell out fast.
Well, quite a bit: Siroko is the Gijón brand that kits out Real Sporting, the one behind the shirt we wear at El Molinón. Seeing our hometown brand doing things with the biggest Spanish-language content creator out there is brilliant. And Rubén, you know what's up: you've got the trainers, you've got the shirt... all you need now is to come down to El Molinón. 🔴⚪

Have your say, YouTube-comments style but at home. Be polite — decent folk read this.
