What happened. Nico Schlotterbeck has launched his own fashion collection, with the 'Art of Defense' range now available through Borussia Dortmund's official fan shop. The designs draw on his playing style, featuring hand-drawn game scenes, heat maps and his trademark diagonal passes.

• The line includes a tracksuit, black T-shirts for adults and children, a white T-shirt, cap and flip-flops.
• Schlotterbeck has been at Dortmund since summer 2022 and signed a new contract until 2031.
• The launch comes days after his comeback in Dortmund's 3-0 win over Paderborn.

“I missed it so much. It's definitely a kind of addiction we're chasing.”

— Nico Schlotterbeck

The collection cements Schlotterbeck's growing profile at Dortmund, where he is vice-captain and recently returned from a torn ligament.
