Legend At Play.

The tribute paddle, "Power Show," is made in collaboration with BOBBY JOSEPH and inspired by the legendary father of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti.

STORY:

Based entirely on an iconic image of the legend playing ping pong, BOBBY JOSEPH x round21 collaborate on a first-of-its-kind tribute to the optimism and energy that Kuti radiated into the world.

As part of the BOBBY JOSEPH POWER SHOW capsule, this special edition paddle reflects a fictional location, "Speedbird Racquet Club" that Bobby Joseph imagined as a stop on a fictional Fela Kuti “Power Show Ping Ping World Tour."

CREATIVE:

Sports enthusiast and creative forward thinker, BOBBY JOSEPH, has built his career generating ideas for some of the world’s leading brands.
