TEMPE, Arizona — Inspired by vibrant orange-and-purple Arizona sunsets and local Native American tribes, four local brands were able to put their work on display at an NFL retail pop-up shop providing a once-in-a-lifetime platform.
The NFL reached out to local artist Ashley Macias, Elias Jade with Elias Jade Not Afraid, Jeremy Davis with Manor and Jared Yazzie with OXDX to collaborate on a line of clothing and art featuring unique Arizona designs.
Last Wednesday at the Showcase Room in Tempe, the pop-up shop featured each brand and artist’s limited edition Super Bowl 57 products on display for fans in attendance to purchase.

The unique opportunity gave the local creatives a chance to showcase their work and provide a voice for the Phoenix community.
“The pop-up shop highlights a lot of diversity here in the community,” Macias said. “In a lot of ways we are not just here to share our art with the public, NFL, and people who would not have seen us otherwise but to use this platform to shed light on such a wonderful community.”
Macias used the opportunity to make four personalized prints that capture the events of the Super Bowl.
One of the more vibrant collections on display from Manor showcases the desert sunset colors with bright orange and purple illuminating the display. Jeremy Davis founded the company in 2016 and operates as an independent lifestyle brand for men, women and children. The name Manor came from the timeless aesthetic manors that can be seen down Central Avenue in Phoenix. “For them (NFL) to think about the locals and get in touch with the local creatives is awesome because this is a platform to tell our story to a much bigger audience,” Davis stated. The hardest part for Manor was the design process, which began in May with an additional three-month design process. Dealing with production is another problem as holidays and other variables can make a deadline hard to reach in the fashion industry. “It is amazing to be here now and finally celebrate all the hard work in this moment,” Davis said.
