For Summer 2017, Urban Outfitters will be delivering a new Umbro collection throughout select locations and online.
To promote the collection, Umbro and Urban Outfitters launched a lookbook that highlights some of the pieces that are offered. Included in the shots are branded pullovers, hoodies, tees, tank tops, shorts, and jersey-style ensembles that take inspiration from 90s basketball apparel. Although many of the images show the different athletic pieces paired together, other ensembles feature elements of business attire and other contrasting styles. With these unconventional pairs promoted throughout the lookbook, the retro athletic pieces are made to stand out even more.
Consumers who are interested in the new Umbro collection can find the exclusive release from Urban Outfitters for a limited time only.
