Lame? Adidas Originals Arsenal, Bayern, Juventus, Man Utd, Real Madrid, Ajax, Leeds & Celtic Essential 22-23 Collections Released
Out of nowhere, Adidas today launched a special basic retro collection for all of their biggest teams as well as a few more clubs. Introducing the Adidas Originals Essential 2022-2023 collection.
Adidas Originals Essential 2022-2023 Club Collection
As the name suggests, the Adidas Originals Essential collection is a no-nonsense pack. It has a clean and classic feel throughout. Oddly, all items of the Adidas Originals 22-23 Essential collection come without Three Stripes.
There are no Three Stripes
Indeed, each item is the same for each club, except for the colors and club logos.
Each team gets 5-7 items as part of the Adidas Originals Essential collection - a track jacket, hoodie, sweatshirt, track pants, and t-shirt was released for every club.
All logos, with a few exceptions (Bayern shorts...), are stitched. They appear to be the same as those featured on the replica kits.
The new Adidas Originals Essential collection also includes Adidas Samba shoes for the five Adidas Elite teams - Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Juventus.
We miss club-specific detailing
All in all, it might be one of the most boring and uninspired collections released by Adidas in the past few years. We miss bespoke detailing and other (small) elements that make the items unique for each club.

The cheapest item is the t-shirt (27 Euro), and the most expensive clothing item is the track jacket (80 Euro). For the Adidas Samba shoes, the Three Stripes want 88 Euro. Women's and Kids' sizes are available as well.
