It feels good to be an Arsenal Football Club fan at the moment. Mikel Arteta's squad is currently top of the Premier League table and it's won its first two games of the current UEFA Champions League tournament.
Off-the-pitch, North London's red-donning side continues to impress supporters and casuals alike with its variety of branded products. The club's official kit and gear manufacturer, Adidas, leads the charge, but Arsenal's in-house design team has also developed and launched numerous collections rooted in heritage. For its next endeavor, it seems the "Gunners'" creative department have tapped A-COLD-WALL* for a collaborative project.
Founded, but no longer led by Dr. Samuel Ross MBE, A-COLD-WALL* operates in the world of "British Industrial Sportswear," as stated on the brand's Instagram account. Over the last decade, the project has worked with Nike, Inc. on numerous occasions, creating what many consider the most-coveted Vomero 5 makeovers in the process. ACW*'s connection to the Swoosh, then, all but confirms that its linkup with Arsenal is not through Adidas Football or Adidas Originals.
According to the collaboration's official press release, "A-COLD-WALL* blends industrial and architectural influences throughout their collections, inspired by the legacy of national industry which draws parallels to the club’s own industrial roots dating back to 1886."
What's particularly telling about the imminent project's announcement video (starring William Saliba) is that the Arsenal logo featured in the clip dates back more than 45 years. The Cannon Crest was used by the club from 1967-77. The collaboration with A-COLD-WALL*, then, could blend modern performance and industrial aesthetics with vintage elements to create a collection that speaks to different eras of Ian Wright, Thierry Henry, and Cesc Fabregas' former club. All 22 items produced as part of the North London Exhibition Collection do just that, donning text and different dye styles to create something that feels old, but in a new way.
The full scope of the project is now available via Arsenal Direct, ACW* webstore and at the Armoury in Emirates Stadium.
