Renowned New York streetwear label Kith has joined forces with adidas Football once more to unveil their 2025 Fall collection—a daring blend of football performance and urban style.

Released under the Kith Football Club insignia, this collection showcases jerseys, coordinating shorts, zip-ups, and track-inspired outerwear. The designs creatively intertwine football history with city fashion, featuring flame motifs as a nod to the 1998 World Cup, pinstripes enhanced with dual branding, and jacquard color-blocking for a contemporary twist.

In a first for the collaboration, denim makes its debut in the form of jackets and pants, available in both blue and black washes. These pieces are accented with Adi-break panels and performance enhancements. The capsule is rounded out with accessories like co-branded trucker hats, a flame-adorned tote bag, and a trio of fully printed soccer balls.

The footwear selection is equally compelling. The Supernova Indoor is back in styles with suede, nubuck ponyhair, and denim finishes. The Predator Sala, a classic from 1994, is reimagined in luxurious glove leather, while the Koresco National returns in fresh leather and suede color options.

Leading the campaign are football stars Paul Pogba and Paulo Dybala. Both are World Cup champions and style icons, embodying the collection’s seamless blend of football heritage and lifestyle fashion.

The Kith x adidas Football Fall 2025 collection is available from September 19 via Kith’s online and in-person stores.

Phil Jones, a former Premier League standout, has successfully completed a significant academic milestone, earning a Diploma in Sport Directorship from the PFA Business School.

The ex-Manchester United defender, who ended his professional playing career last year at 32, proudly received his diploma during a recent ceremony. Donning a cap and gown, Jones took to Instagram to share his accomplishment and hinted at his future endeavors in sports management.

“I’ve completed the Global Sporting Directors course at @thepfabusiness,” he announced on social media. “This builds on my coaching qualifications and current Pro Licence as my career journey progresses.”

Warm congratulations flooded in from former colleagues and friends, including Manchester United and England veterans such as Antonio Valencia and Kyle Walker. Benni McCarthy and Sam Allardyce, the latter having given Jones his initial professional opportunity at Blackburn Rovers, also sent their best wishes.

Jones was joined by other well-known figures in the football world among the recent graduates, marking a significant step for many transitioning from the pitch to roles in sport leadership.

Former Newcastle and Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul and West Brom stalwart Kyle Bartley also earned diplomas in Sport Directorship, while Premier League winner Danny Simpson completed a diploma in Football Psychology, Emotional Intelligence & Leadership.

There were current stars too: Newcastle’s Yoane Wissa and five-time Premier League champion Ilkay Gündogan were both part of the latest intake.

As for Jones, with Manchester United in deep crisis on and off the pitch, some fans will be wondering if a future role back at Old Trafford might just be on the horizon.

Jamie Vardy’s illustrious career at Leicester City concluded last season, but the 38-year-old football icon is already capturing attention in Italy, having joined Serie A team Cremonese.

Vardy inked a one-year contract with the recently promoted club, featuring an option to extend for an additional year. The transition seems to be a success so far, as Cremonese remains unbeaten and currently holds the third spot in the standings. Vardy has already made his debut, and it appears he and his wife, Rebekah, along with their two children, are embracing the Italian lifestyle.

The family has purchased a £2 million villa in Salò, a town known historically as the headquarters of Benito Mussolini during World War II. Interestingly, it is also the hometown of Vardy’s new teammate, Romano Mussolini, who is the great-grandson of the infamous dictator.

As they settle into their new environment, the Vardys are immersing themselves in Italian culture by taking language lessons. Jamie is reportedly enjoying learning some of the more expressive elements of the language.

“Jamie and Becky are already loving life in Italy and are doing everything they can to fit in smoothly. The entire family is taking Italian lessons, and Jamie has quickly picked up some of the more colorful swear words,” a source revealed to The Sun.

Apparently, his favourite so far is “Vaffanculo” – a not-so-polite phrase that loosely translates to “get lost.”

It fits perfectly with Vardy’s reputation: he’s previously said to have deliberately learned swear words in the languages of his Premier League opponents to wind them up during games. Now, it seems he’s bringing that cheeky skillset to Serie A – meaning Italian defenders might be getting more than just a headache from chasing him around.
