There’s a certain poetry to the grind — the quiet resilience of those who move through the city, no matter the weather. It’s this rhythm, this culture of the outdoors, that shapes the new Umbro x Wasted capsule.
A collision of technical sportswear and skate-infused attitude, the Umbro x Wasted collection celebrates freedom of movement and the spirit of training outside, through sun, rain, snow or cold. Founded in 2012 by Xiang Fang Ye and Johann Liebel, Wasted Paris has carved out a cult following by pushing the edges of traditional streetwear. Deeply rooted in skate and youth subcultures, the brand thrives on rebellion and self-expression — a reflection of its community as much as its design ethos. With bold graphics and fearless silhouettes, Wasted continues to blur boundaries, turning streetwear into a collective movement.
Built to live beyond a single season, each piece adapts to its surroundings — comfort and function reimagined through a lens of raw, street-born creativity. At its core are the statement pieces: a nylon windbreaker and matching pants printed with full-scale scans of real denim. The result? A trompe-l’œil illusion that clashes early-2000s denim swagger with modern outdoor utility. It’s Beckham-era bravado, reengineered for the street.
Supporting the look, a boxy hoodie and straight jog pants channel lived-in ease — pieces that feel like they’ve already got stories to tell. Subtle detailing keeps things grounded: secure zip pockets, and a discreet Umbro diamond sitting under the arm — quiet flexes that nod to decades of sporting craft. Accessories complete the drop, from a classic supporter scarf to a champion-ring signet that riffs on American sports iconography, and a skate deck that loops the narrative back to Wasted’s skate DNA.
The Umbro x Wasted capsule is a meeting point between old-school football culture and new-wave street energy. Two worlds, one mindset: stay outside. Always moving. Always ready.
The Umbro x Wasted collection will be available from 17 October.
