The launch of the Under Armour Pride 2020 collection arrives vibrantly and celebrates the LGBTQ+ community. The collection is full of sporty apparel and footwear designs that highlight a bright tie-dye print in a colorful manner to reference the Pride flag.
The original flag was complete in 1978 by artist and activist Gilbert Baker as he tie-dyed the flag alongside a group of volunteers. The capsule features 17 items in total and is made up of tees, hoodies, headbands, socks, backpacks, and more. The sneakers include the bright HOVR Phantom 1 Slip don ein a laceless enclosure. It is also detailed with a blue heel counter which nods to the EuroPride parade in Greece, which has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
