{"product_id":"cape-verde-blue-shark-edition","title":"Cape Verde 'Blue Shark' Edition","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eTen islands. No mainland. An entire nation built on the Atlantic, where the water is not a border but a road. The Capverdian people are a diaspora people — more of them live abroad than at home, scattered across Portugal, the Netherlands, France, the United States — and they carry their islands with them in their music, their language, and in the nickname they gave their national football team: \u003cem\u003eOs Tubarões Azuis\u003c\/em\u003e. The Blue Sharks. The 'Blue Shark' Edition is built from that identity entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe base jersey sets the ocean in motion before the first stitch is placed. An all-over geometric pattern of three-dimensional triangular forms — deep royal blue on blue, pressing forward and back like the facets of moving water — covers the full body of the jersey in an architectural print that reads differently depending on the light. It is a fabric that already has something to say. The red trim at the collar and cuffs cuts through the blue with the precision of a flag — the colours of Cabo Verde exact, uncompromised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eOn the upper left chest, the Blue Shark arrives. The VOLTA atelier's most ambitious figurative embroidery to date: a full mascot patch worked in thread painting across multiple tones — steel grey, ocean blue, warm beige, deep red at the gum line — depicting the shark in the posture that every Capverdian football supporter recognises: arms crossed, grinning, entirely confident. The level of illustrative detail in this piece is without precedent in the VOLTA catalogue. The fins carry shading. The teeth are individually defined. The eyes have depth. This is not a logo reproduced in thread — it is a character, fully rendered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAt the lower right, the ocean makes its own statement. A hand-embroidered Atlantic wave rises from the hem in cream and powder blue thread — a full breaking curl, worked in the lineage of maritime illustration, with each layer of water articulated in fine parallel curves and the foam crest built up in raised cream stitch. The wave is large enough to read from a distance and precise enough to reward close examination. Between the shark and the wave, the jersey contains a complete visual argument: the animal that dominates the ocean, and the ocean itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis hand-embroidered Cape Verde concept jersey is the most technically diverse piece in the VOLTA catalogue — combining thread-painted illustrative embroidery with ukiyo-e inspired wave work on a geometric jacquard base. Each piece requires between 12 and 22 hours of atelier production and is hand-stitched in our Paris and Versailles ateliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe 'Blue Shark' Edition is a registered work of art, produced in a strictly limited run and supplied with a certificate of authenticity. Once the drop closes, it will not be restocked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Blue Shark' | \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cape Verde | \u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand embroidery | \u003cstrong\u003eAtelier:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paris \u0026amp; Versailles | \u003cstrong\u003eEdition size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limited | \u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free worldwide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eVOLTA creates art — we do not sell replicas.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VOLTA®","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":62599247757642,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":62599247790410,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":62599247823178,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":62599247855946,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL","offer_id":62599247888714,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/8610\/1578\/files\/cape-verde-blue-shark-edition-embroidered-concept-jersey-front-volta.webp?v=1783032863","url":"https:\/\/volta-official.com\/products\/cape-verde-blue-shark-edition","provider":"VOLTA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
