Adidas and Arsenal Football Club have paired up again with British designer Stella McCartney to create the club’s women’s team’s first-ever bespoke away kit and travel range.
The limited-edition collection, designed to support Arsenal Women both on and off the pitch, includes structured silhouettes in the form of a traditional performance jersey and shorts as well as travel wear pieces ranging from a full zip-up jacket with neon accents to track-style pants and an oversized T-shirt.
The shirt also features Adidas’ “AEROREADY” technology, which uses sweat-wicking and absorbent materials to keep players feeling dry. Key pieces are crafted with at least 47% recycled polyester and 100% organic cotton as part of the German sportswear giant’s ambition to help end plastic waste.

The Arsenal Women away kit will be debuted on pitch when the Gunners take on Manchester United on October 8 in the Barclays Women’s Super League. It will be the first time in the club’s history that their women’s team wear a separate kit; Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal Men will wear the gender-neutral jersey as a pre-match warm-up top ahead of their Premier League game against Manchester City on the same day.
The Stella McCartney range will be limited in quantity and available across adidas.com, in store, at Arsenal official club stores, Arsenal Direct and selected retailers from September 28.
Alessia Russo, who joined the club this summer before starring at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, had this to say:
“It’s been an exciting summer for me, both with the move to Arsenal and reaching the final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, and now we’re back. I am fully focused on my first season with the team.
“It’s so special to be marking this with a collection as playful and bold as this one. For me, football has always been about having fun and getting creative – it’s why I got into it as a young girl and it’s what inspires me today. I love that this collection represents that, and I can’t wait to wear the shirt with pride on match day.“
Stella McCartney said:
“Following the remarkable tournament in Australia, I’m so proud to continue the story with Arsenal by creating this bespoke capsule for the women’s team.
“Designing for a team that truly embodies what it takes to be an athlete and inspire the next generation of footballers has been incredibly special.
“I love that the away jersey taps into the exciting intersection of fashion and football through its elevated geometric print and captivating hues – with technical performance materials at the core. It’s important that both players and fans alike can playfully express themselves as they move on and off the pitch, and we hope this bold, new collection can play a part in that.“
