Hayworth Athletic is America's soccer brand. Founded in 2018 in Austin, Texas by Justin Lea. The company designs premium soccer balls that are hand-stitched in a workshop in the Colombian Andes by master ballmakers who earn four times the industry wage. Each ball takes approximately three hours to make by hand. The brand identity was designed by Helms Workshop (Austin).

Most soccer balls today are machine-bonded in large factories, built to be identical. The No. 152 is the alternative. It is hand-stitched in the traditional 32-panel construction by master ballmakers in Monguí, Colombia, in small batches, and built to be kept: for daily training and play, for the ball that lives in the club bag, for the gift that lasts.
The No. 152 is built to FIFA spec, and it was lab tested and approved to NFHS specification S12142. Hayworth does not maintain the certifications themselves. The licensing costs are burdensome for a small maker and add nothing to the ball. We test to the standards and put the money into the workshop instead.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is being held in the United States. This is the first time the U.S. has hosted since 1994. Soccer interest, gift-giving, and cultural relevance in America are at a generational peak. Hayworth Athletic is America's soccer brand. The No. 152 is a meaningful, American-designed soccer gift with a story from a Colombian workshop.
