Stone Island’s Spring/Summer 2025 campaign unites Nakata, Lee and Giggs, bringing the “COMMUNITY AS A FORM OF RESEARCH” collection to life
Former Japanese soccer player Hidetoshi Nakata appears alongside renowned director Spike Lee and rapper Giggs in Stone Island’s Spring/Summer 2025 campaign. Under the theme “Community as a Form of Research,” the collection features Stone Island’s signature, impeccably constructed jackets while reinforcing the brand’s commitment to research and innovation.
Nakata is showcased in the 4100022 Raso Gommato 3L Laser Camo field jacket—a four-pocket, military-inspired garment crafted from a waterproof and windproof membrane. Meanwhile, Giggs wears UV-reactive athletic apparel that shifts color in response to light and Lee sports a Metal Cover jacket featuring a silver polyurethane layer. Stone Island has long been a staple of soccer terrace fashion, celebrated for its daring aesthetics and technical innovation.
Nakata’s presence in the campaign underscores Stone Island’s longstanding ties to soccer culture. Before wrapping up his career with Bolton Wanderers under Sam Allardyce, the former Japan international played for Parma, Roma, Fiorentina and Bologna. He was one of Serie A’s most remarkable talents in the early 2000s.
