Some relationships run deeper than football. In Manchester, few hit harder than United and the Stone Roses. Now, adidas are tapping straight back into that cultural bloodstream, unveiling the latest Manchester United x The Stone Roses collection. This is a drop that lives at the crossroads of football, music, and pure style.
For over 20 years, This Is The One has echoed around Old Trafford on matchdays as tradition before kick off. It’s more than a song, it’s a ritual. A signal of belief, unity, and what it means to pull on red. That same energy runs through this new collection, drawing directly from The Stone Roses’ unmistakable visual world and translating it through adidas Original’s lens.
Lemon iconography, nods to John Squire’s iconic I Wanna Be Adored artwork, and subtle references only those who know will catch, all woven into a range that respects the past without getting stuck in it.
Speaking on the drop, adidas Design Director Inigo Turner summed it up with “The Stone Roses and Manchester United represent two global movements born in Manchester that went on to shape youth culture far beyond the city. This collection honours that shared history—blending iconic artwork, football heritage and adidas Originals style in a way that feels authentic and deeply rooted in Manchester’s identity.”
Front and centre is the Man U x Stone Roses jersey. A proper statement piece. The all-over graphic pulls straight from the band’s iconic artwork, wrapped around a clean, slim silhouette with a V-neck finish. Crafted in jacquard fabric, it’s built for everyday wear, whether that’s matchday or city streets. A long-sleeve version pushes things further, landing as a collector level crossover between football shit and cultural artefact, finished with retro Trefoil branding to seal the Originals DNA.
Beyond the jerseys, the collection leans heavily into terrace culture. Th Manchester United Stone Roses track top and pants rework classic Three Stripe shapes with bold prints and heritage detailing, while the jacket brings engineered jacquard fabric and subtle lemon hits into a refined, street ready layer.
And it wouldn’t be a full collection without footwear. A black ZX 600 alongside two Tobacco silhouettes enter the range, all featuring suede uppers and gum rubber outsoles. Instantly gives a timeless look. And then accessories including a scarf and bucket hat complete the looks.
