Ibrahima-Konaté on the cover of the sixth issue of Views Magazine.

While the World Cup commands everyone's attention, this sixth issue of  Views Magazine explores what football still reveals about us. Ibrahima Konaté, on the cover, tells a story about the making of heroes. A singular journey that becomes a collective epic, a story in which everyone can dream and project themselves.

But ultimately, which story do we choose to tell? For this issue, we collaborated with nss sports , a leading Italian media outlet covering sports and streetwear culture, to shift our perspective. From an Italian point of view, Zidane was initially reviled for his infamous headbutt, before becoming almost a national icon. The speeches remind us that before the stadiums, there is always a neighborhood pitch, children playing together. And twenty years after the 2006 final in Berlin, Marco Materazzi is there to remind us that football also writes its legends by accident.

Fashion, music, film, architecture… This issue pursues a single ambition: to forge connections where the world is fractured. To celebrate sport as one of the last spaces of universal communion.
