English sportswear label Umbro has partnered with UK-based streetwear brand Addict to launch a limited-edition collection titled the 'Umbro x Addcit' capsule. The collection expertly blends streetwear styles with performance-focused athletic wear material to deliver five unique pieces.
Specific items included in this collaborative capsule include a coach jacket, a football jersey (in a home and away variation), swimming trunks, and a bucket hat. As a whole, the collection utilizes vibrant color schemes, multicolored patterns, and camo designs. In addition, each piece comes dressed with both brands' logo prints and decals. Lastly, all of the items have been made from recycled polyesters and, therefore, serve to support both labels' commitment to sustainability.
Interested consumers can find the entire collection available to purchase on Umbro's UK website.
