As mentioned previously, Nike Sportswear is celebrating the 125th anniversary of the Arsenal football club with ‘Forever Forward,’ a film directed by Ryan Hopkinson.

After giving you a glimpse at the Umbro Archive Research Project Collection the other day, we can present today a great video, highlighting the collection and especially the thought of movement behind it, something designer Throup is best known for.

“Umbro dipped into their archives of English football tailoring heritage to build a seven piece lifestyle collection designed by Aitor Throup. Throup used the shape of a body in motion as his inspiration for the collection, creating each style on a bust form in a running position. All of the performance elements the brand is known for are kept firmly intact. There are seven pieces: the 1966 Jacket, Aztex Jersey, Diamond Tape Track Jacket, 1970 World Cup Jersey, Drill Top, Drill Pant and ‘Barcelona’ Short.”

The full collection is now also available from END. Check it out after the jump.

The Tiempo Legend IV Elite from Nike Football is the lightest Tiempo yet, weighing in at a full 20g lighter than its predecessor. With a commitment to innovation, the latest Tiempo features strong and soft premium leather and Flywire uppers, enhanced vamp stitching, a cushioned sockliner, a light carbon fiber plate and a rounded stud configuration. If the lines, craftsmanship and lineage of the Tiempo weren’t impressive enough, the vibrant orange of the tongue, heel graphic, stud tips and laces ensure the boots stand out.

“Celtic first wore yellow and black back in the late 1990s. Of course, that wasn’t very long ago, but if we dig a little deeper we’re reminded that the use of quartered panels on a team strip dates back to the team’s away kit of 1926/27. Take those two bits of club history in one shot and you’ve got the basic elements of the new Celtic third kit, unveiled by Nike just yesterday.”
