Inspired by the brand’s iconic Equipment era, adidas launches its latest Football Icons Collection, featuring throwback replica designs for some of its leading clubs and federations, including Ajax, Arsenal, Boca Juniors, CR Flamengo, FC Bayern, Juventus, Manchester United, Real Madrid and River Plate.
Back in late 2021 adidas turned the clock back to 2006 by tapping into the Teamgeist look for a new collection – a lifestyle capsule that brought back the iconic look for its A list teams. Now they follow a similar path, only this time its to bring back a look that was born in the 90s for its latest Football Icon Collection, which taps into the culture and style of that decade to give fans a throwback replica collection that perfectly blends current streetwear trends and football.
The collection, which features match jerseys, tops and shorts, sees a return for that big and bold Three Stripe branding, reviving past classics while also reimagining what some clubs might have looked like in the early 90’s had they worn The Three Stripes. Centralised branding, glossy finishing and laid-back, loose fits find the balance between instantly-iconic and immediately wearable.
