adidas Originals x Manchester United x The Stone Roses
adidas Originals connects Manchester United and The Stone Roses in a collaboration that brings together football, music history, and British subculture.
The collaboration between adidas Originals, Manchester United FC, and The Stone Roses brings together three titans of British culture. The collection blends football tradition, music history, and streetwear aesthetics, drawing on visual elements closely associated with the Madchester era and the band's iconic artwork. The collaboration includes several pieces, such as sneakers, a jersey, and a track top, reflecting their shared Manchester origins.
Manchester as a common origin
Both Manchester United and The Stone Roses are almost unrivaled in representing the cultural identity of the city of Manchester. While the club is known worldwide for its football history, the band shaped the British indie and Madchester scene of the late 80s and early 90s with their sound and visual style. adidas Originals takes up this connection and translates it into a collection that unites sport, music, and street culture.
Inspired by The Stone Roses Artwork
A central design element of the collection are graphic details reminiscent of the band's well-known artwork, designed by guitarist John Squire. Color gradients, splatter optics, and characteristic patterns pick up on the visual language of early Stone Roses releases and combine them with classic adidas and Manchester United elements. This creates a look that is both nostalgic and modern.
Football, Music and adidas Originals
With several pieces, including sneakers, a jersey, and a track top, adidas Originals presents a collection that consciously blurs the boundaries between football, music, and streetwear. The combination of club history, band references, and Originals design makes the collaboration a special release for fans of British culture as well as lovers of classic adidas silhouettes.
