After a competition around the world, 44 countries sent their representatives to Brazil to the final of Red Bull Street Style on November 18, on a stage mounted in Sao Paulo in Pacaembu Gym, had Momentum World Wide as the event organizer. It was really an incredible spectacle. 16 finalists will play in pairs, they will show their skills with the ball. The players were gradually removed and the last dispute was between Arnaud Garnier and Yosuke Yokota, the two performances were impeccable. The suspense did last till the last moment. Nobody did take a risk for the winner, the two players were qualified for the first place. The jury, Edgar Davids, Bebeto, Falcon and Crazy Legs, was divided, but they analyzed the four queries (control, creativity, style and performance), and chose the French Arnaud Garnier, known as Séan, the first world champion of Street Style Soccer. The Brazilian representative Murilo Pitol conquered the 3rd place, a memorable night not to be forgotten.

Após uma árdua disputa que rodou o mundo, 44 países enviaram seus representantes ao Brasil para a final do Red Bull Street Style, que aconteceu dia 18 de novembro, numa arena montada no ginásio do Pacaembu, em São Paulo, a organização do evento ficou a cargo da Momentum World Wide. Foi realmente um espetáculo impressionante. No total, 16 finalistas se enfrentaram em duplas, mostrando suas habilidades com a bola. Pouco a pouco, os participantes foram sendo eliminados e a última disputa da noite foi entre Arnaud Garnier e Yosuke Yokota, em duas apresentações impecáveis. O suspense perdurou até o último segundo. Ninguém arriscava um palpite para o vencedor, uma vez que os dois estavam altamente qualificados a ocupar o primeiro lugar. O júri, formado por Edgar Davids, Bebeto, Falcão e Crazy Legs, mostrou-se dividido, mas, após análise dos quatro quesitos (controle, criatividade, estilo e performance), acabou elegendo o francês Arnaud Garnier, conhecido como Séan, o primeiro campeão mundial de Street Style Soccer.
