Arsenal have stepped back into the fashion arena, this time joining forces with one of London’s most progressive design houses, A-COLD-WALL*, for a limited-edition 22-piece collection that redefines the intersection of football and fashion.
Marking A-COLD-WALL*’s first-ever collaboration with a football club — and Arsenal’s second independent streetwear collection — the drop channels a distinctly north London energy through a framework of industrial minimalism and heritage craftsmanship.
The lineup cuts across the full streetwear spectrum: jackets, tracksuits, trousers, caps, beanies, polos, tees, hoodies, and a range of accessories, from scarves and socks to an unexpected Gunnersaurus model reimagined through the A-COLD-WALL* lens, wearing the collaboration’s bespoke Derby kit.
The design language leans into garment-dyed finishes for a lived-in fade, while other pieces adopt layered dye sublimation prints and hi-build textural treatments, creating a tactile depth that’s as much art as apparel.
A-COLD-WALL*, led by Samuel Ross, has long been synonymous with architectural silhouettes and socio-industrial storytelling — elements that find a natural rhythm with Arsenal’s own working-class roots, forged in 1886 by munitions workers in Woolwich. The collaboration becomes a dialogue between craft and culture, reframing football heritage through the precision of modern design.
To bring the concept to life, the launch arrives with a campaign film set in north London — a visual exploration of two worlds colliding. Arsenal stars Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, Olivia Smith, Kyra Cooney-Cross and Taylor Hinds headline the motion piece, while Ethan Nwaneri and Katie McCabe front the stylised still campaign, merging performance and poise in true A-COLD-WALL* form.
Speaking on the collaboration, William Saliba said: “I’m a huge fan of this collection. We all enjoyed being in the shoot too and having the chance to be a part of this with so many of my friends and teammates was a fantastic experience. It’s another exciting moment for the Arsenal family and I hope the supporters love it as much as we do.”
A-COLD-WALL* framed the project as: “A collaboration rooted in Arsenal’s storied heritage deconstructed and recontextualised through the industrial lens of A-COLD-WALL*, this partnership sees traditional house codes reshaped with a contemporary edge.”
Last year, Arsenal made history by hosting London Fashion Week’s first runway show inside a football stadium — a move that cemented their standing at the intersection of sport and style. This new link-up with A-COLD-WALL* feels like the next evolution of that narrative: a collection that doesn’t just dress supporters, but redefines what it means to wear the badge in 2025.
The Arsenal x A-Cold-Wall* collaboration is limited edition and available in The Armoury, Arsenal Direct, a-cold-wall.com and selected global retailers.
