Manchester is as famous for football as it is for being birthplace of legendary bands, and Adidas is bringing the two together with its latest drop: a collaboration between the Stone Roses and Manchester United.
The collection includes jackets, jerseys, and sneakers, and prices range from $45 for the scarf to $120 for the jerseys and shoes. The pieces feature the splatter-paint motif from the Stone Roses’ eponymous debut album, in addition to the football club’s crest.
The connection between the Stone Roses and United runs deep, as “This Is The One” has long served as the team’s walk-on song at Old Trafford. The team also recently paid tribute to Stone Roses’ late bassist Gary Mounfield, better known as Mani, with jackets featuring “Mani 1962-2025” ahead of Sunday’s road win against Arsenal.
The Stone Roses were founded in 1983, and comprised Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani, and Alan “Reni” Wren. The band only released two albums, their self-titled debut and 1994’s Second Coming, but they were a hugely influential force in the “Madchester” scene, which also included acts like James and the Happy Mondays.
The scene’s influence led to the later success of bands like Oasis, who also got soccer-inspired jerseys from Adidas ahead of the band’s reunion tour that kicked off last year. The Stone Roses last performed together in 2017 and officially broke up for a second time in 2019.
