Adidas x Pharrell 'Human Race' Football Kits Released - Arsenal, Bayern, Juventus, Manchester United & Real Madrid - To be Worn In-Match(!)
Oct 23, 2020, by Pat
Adidas has just presented the outstanding Pharrell Williams "Humanrace" football shirts. The full kits are now available to buy, including shorts, socks and kids' versions.
Some of these kits will actually be worn in-match - more details on that at the bottom!
The accompanying boots, worn by Paul Pogba last weekend, have also been launched officially.
Each jersey is unified by the hand-painted aesthetic, which was central to the process led by Pharrell, with the iconic shirts redesigned in a traditional artistic format. Starting out on a simple cotton t-shirt, the reverse engineered design process was centred around a raw, human and expressive hand-drawn technique on a simple piece of canvas. All intricate details are reimagined in paint format, from club crest to partner logos, to create a look unified by style. From there, Pharrell worked collaboratively with the adidas design team to create elite performance jerseys, featuring the very best in adidas technology.
Designed by hand, for the @humanrace.
