This is about a month old but i enjoyed these Umbro competition entries. “After thousands of entries, here at Umbro we can unveil the finalists in our competition to customise the sole on a pair of Specialis. The response we had was amazing, with a fantastic range of designs from different ages and different countries around the world. These are the final 14, chosen from the thousands of different designs by a team of judges which included Umbro designers Stuart Semple and Stewart Scott-Curran, and Esquire’s art director David McKendrick. Initially we planned to have 11 winners, but the points system used by the judges to pick their favourites meant that we ended up with four designs tied in 11th place!”

England recently launched their new football kits designed by underground fashion darling, Aitor Throup for Umbro (love the new site). The ultra sleek, super refined, minimal get-up are so well designed that all sports teams should take note. Be sure to check out the well developed ad campaign that have Englanders of all-sorts wearing the new digs. More images after the break.
