Through the launch of the third kit, Adidas displays its inclination to dominate the lifestyle and sportswear sections of the fashion industry.

In the clip shared online, Martin Odegaard wore the jersey with gingham patterned pants and a green-hued printed hoodie, while Saliba paired the jersey with a button-up shirt and suit. Leah on the other hand styled it with shorts and a muted orange blazer.
In the press release, the apparel designer of Adidas, Inigo Turner shed light on his inspiration behind the kit and said:
“Given the depth of Arsenal’s kit archive, looking to the past is always an inspiring place to start when designing something for the supporters of today. The iconic green away shirt from the 1982/83 season was a one-off and the modern-day expression of the classic blends fashion and football seamlessly.”
Turner continued:
“As these worlds continue to collide, we’ve looked to create a kit that is first and foremost, primed for performance offering the best for the athlete, while also being an eye-catching fashion statement that supporters are proud to wear at matches and away from the stadium.”
