Italian artist Simone Legno collaborates with all sorts of companies to get Tokidoki, his interpretation of Japanese pop culture, out in the world. And collectors are buying it, from his bag lines with LeSport Sac, the cosmetics line with SmashBox to the various products with Hello Kitty. For the sportier set, Tokidoki recently released a limited-edition soccer ball with Mikasa. Only 1,000 balls were made, all of which meet FIFA regulations and are covered with various skull, star and heart designs. Ooh and aah at it’s cuteness, but the $150 price tag may discourage kicking that Tokidoki-Mikasa creation around in the yard.
