Rap Legend, Nas, has collaborated with UK-based brands Umbro and Nicholas Delay on a limited-edition soccer jersey celebrating the GRAMMY-Award winner’s impact on music and style over the three decades. The new jersey is in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Illmatic album, a cultural milestone, reflecting the grit, soul, and resilience of New York City.
Umbro’s deep connection to sport culture combines Daley’s heritage-inspired style in this limited-edition design. The design is imposed with Nas iconography resulting in a truly unique piece, paying homage to the spirit of Nas’ NYC upbringing and the influence of Illmatic.
Together this design blends British craftsmanship with streetwear sensibilities celebrating Nas’s multi-decade influence and seamlessly bridges sport, music, and fashion. Collaborating with Nicholas Daley to capture that essence in an Umbro shirt allows us to celebrate Nas’s legacy with a piece of sportswear that speaks to fans worldwide,’ states Umbro.
The Nas x Umbro x Nicholas Daley football Jersey is a wearable homage to an artist who has redefined storytelling in hip-hop and a testament to the lasting impact of Illmatic on global culture.
This limited-edition piece is now available on nicholasdaley.net.
