Soccer Bomb

Murakami Soccer Ball

Sports? Not exactly your thing.

Oh, sure, your hand-eye coordination is superb — when it comes to painting your toenails. And your ball-handling skills have garnered rave reviews. Just not in an athletic context.

The Murakami soccer ball was made for jocks like you. The latest from the (it would seem) endlessly fruitful alliance of Marc Jacobs, Louise Vuitton, and Takashi Murakami, it’s sporty equipment that even the most sedentary person can dig. The brightly colored flowers, anime-esque smiley faces, and snazzy metallic background would jazz up any soccer field, though we hardly think outdoors is its intended milieu. In fact, at $400, it’s really best kept somewhere indoors.

Which, fortuitously enough, is where all your strengths come into play too.
