SLAWN PAINTS TEN RONALDINHO JERSEYS FOR AUCTION

Ronaldinho signed on as Ravenna FC by Cipriani's ambassador in June 2026, and Slawn has spent the months since turning that one jersey into ten different objects instead of one. A new video from the artist, filmed by doctor.dior and captioned how to collab with Ronaldinho, walks through the process. Ten jerseys and two pairs of Nike R10 boots now carry Slawn's caricature figures over Ronaldinho's own signature, and every piece is heading to a charity auction instead of a store shelf.

Giorgio Mallone Built the Jersey Slawn Painted Over

Giorgio Mallone designed the original Ravenna FC by Cipriani ambassador jersey before Slawn ever touched it. That base kit carries the club's crest and colorway, the same shirt Ronaldinho wears in his official capacity for the Italian side. Slawn's London studio then took ten of those exact jerseys and individually reworked each one with his loose figurative linework, spray marks and painted figures, the same visual language that has already covered a Rolex case and a suitcase this year. No two of the ten read the same, which is the actual difference between a licensed print run and the capsule Ravenna FC and Cipriani commissioned.

Two Nike R10 Boots Joined the Same Capsule

Two pairs of Nike R10 boots got the same treatment, and the silhouette itself is already named for Ronaldinho. Repainting a boot built around one player's number and legacy is a tighter brief than a blank jersey, since the R10 carries Ronaldinho's own signature construction detail before an artist adds a second layer on top of it. The boots and jerseys together make up the full SLAWN Limited Edition Capsule, twelve wearable objects rebuilt as art pieces rather than merchandise, all produced out of Slawn's London studio and photographed and filmed for release the way a fashion lookbook would be, not a fan merch table.

Every Jersey Now Carries Two Signatures

Each of the ten jerseys is signed by both Slawn and Ronaldinho, a detail that pushes the pieces past customized fan gear into the collectible category Ravenna FC and Cipriani built the project around. Finally Offline reported in August that nobody outside Slawn's own account had confirmed the twelve collaborators behind his Rolex Multiverse project. Ronaldinho is now one of eleven names since confirmed publicly, alongside Mario Balotelli, Gunna and Lil Yachty, which makes the Ravenna capsule the second documented Slawn and Ronaldinho collaboration inside a single year.

New York Gets the Jersey Retail Never Will

One jersey from the ten skips the auction block entirely and goes on display at Casa Cipriani New York during the week of the 2026 World Cup final, set inside an installation built to run physically and digitally at once. Cipriani picked that placement on purpose, putting a Ravenna FC ambassador jersey in front of the highest attention week international football has all year, in the same city hosting the final. Nobody buys that jersey off a shelf. It sits in a room built for the one week football fans travel for, the same week the sport itself becomes the story.

This Capsule Moves Slower Than the Screenprint Dropping Five Days Later

The Ravenna capsule has no fixed release date attached to the MatchWornShirt auction, while Slawn's other current project runs on an exact clock. NERVOUS, his six colour screenprint with Opake, releases September 9 at 4pm UK time through Print Them All, numbered and hand signed the same way the Ravenna jerseys are. Running an open ended auction and a timed print drop in the same week is not new territory for him. He has moved between a Rimowa parody suitcase, a Michael Jackson oil painting and grillz turned fine art, all inside 2026, without slowing the pace on any single one.

Forget Retail. This One Goes to Auction.

MatchWornShirt handles the sale, and a portion of the proceeds goes to Street Soccer USA, a charity that uses the sport to work with people experiencing homelessness. That structure puts the jerseys closer to sports memorabilia philanthropy than a streetwear drop, the same territory Ravenna FC occupies as a club built around an ambassador role rather than a traditional academy pipeline. Slawn has also put his signature on a national kit for Nigeria's own World Cup cycle, running the same caricature style across two football institutions that share nothing else but the sport itself.

Ten jerseys, two boots, one auction house and a Casa Cipriani installation during World Cup week put this ahead of most artist merchandise this year, and the Rolex Multiverse connection means Ronaldinho and Slawn are now two collaborations deep in 2026. Watch MatchWornShirt for the bidding, not SNKRS. This one was never built to sell at retail.
