NIKE’S WORLD CUP SCULPTURE

“Dominating the Carlton Shopping Center in Johannesburg is ‘Ballman’, at least that is what the 3,000 football structure has become known as. Erected in what is not exactly the most visually appealing of shopping centers – we can only imagine this would be a whole lot more effective in Shepherd’s Bush’s beautiful Westfield – the structure, courtesy of Leicester’s Ratcliffe Fowler Design is nonetheless a reminder of just how dominated South African culture is currently by the beautiful game.” w/ photos.
