Nike Scorpion KO 2002 Equipo del Fuego Vintage Football Artwork
Bring a piece of early-2000s football advertising history into your collection with this striking Equipo del Fuego artwork from Nike's legendary 2002 Scorpion KO Secret Tournament campaign.
Featuring Hernán Crespo, Claudio López and Gaizka Mendieta, the fictional Equipo del Fuego team combined South American attacking talent with Spanish midfield creativity.
Presented in a vibrant bright blue colour scheme, the artwork features bold stencil imagery, Nike branding and the unmistakable Scorpion KO emblem that became associated with the campaign.
Launched around the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea and Japan, Nike's Secret Tournament brought together international football stars in an imagined underground competition. Its dramatic advertising, memorable team identities and street-inspired artwork helped make it one of the most recognisable football marketing campaigns of its era.
This artwork features spray-painted stencil imagery on paper, with visible overspray, variations in paint coverage and glossy black detailing. Its distinctive physical texture gives the piece an individual character beyond that of a conventional commercially printed poster.
Acquired from a private collection of early-2000s advertising memorabilia, this artwork is believed to originate from the original Scorpion KO campaign period. Its individual production history has not been independently authenticated.
An eye-catching collectible for fans of vintage Nike Football, international football history and the bold visual culture of the early 2000s.
