Umbro has launched a limited edition lifestyle capsule collection to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its iconic football boot, the Speciali.

The Speciali has stayed true to Umbro’s football boot ethos throughout its 20 years with style, fit and comfort being at the very core of its design. These attributes that the Speciali has built its status upon, including the premium soft leather, have gone into creating the five-piece limited edition Speciali 92 range.

Speciali 92 is a crafted, premium leather range, which celebrates the iconic past of the Speciali boot through Umbro’s contemporary English football tailoring lens.

The hero piece within the range is Umbro’s classic silhouette, the Anthem Jacket, which has been put through a Speciali filter, offering a fusion of two iconic pieces of sportswear. The jacket is crafted from soft leather and the lining features a digital print, which details key Speciali moments. The Anthem Jacket is available in limited numbers of only 92.

Furthermore the collection includes the Milton lifestyle shoe, limited to 1992 pairs. The Speciali ’92 Pro Boot is aesthetically inspired by the original 1992 Speciali and has been brought up to date with modern innovations for today’s game. A soft leather weekend bag and a leather ball, both made in limited numbers of 92, make up the five-piece collection.
