A single drop falls from the Umbro logo—an emblem of transformation. APPLY PRESSURE unites two worlds, merging Rains’ refined minimalism with Umbro’s storied sports heritage to create a new uniform for the modern fan. This collaboration reinterprets archival Umbro designs through a sleek, urban lens, evolving the concept of what a football-inspired wardrobe can be. The result is a collection that balances sport and street, tradition and innovation.
Engineered for both form and function, every piece reflects Rains’ signature commitment to performance fabrics. Garments are cut from lightweight, waterproof PU and windproof, UV-resistant textiles, ensuring protection without compromising style. These materials are shaped into clean, urban silhouettes that echo Umbro’s unmistakable sportswear aesthetic. Designed to move effortlessly from pitch-side to city streets, the collection speaks to those who appreciate versatility and subtle sophistication.
Football culture remains at the heart of the collaboration. “Football design for the minimalist,” says Philip Lotko, Rains’ Co-Founder. “The kits we grew up with are there, in the details, the colors, and even the textures. But we made them ours.” Each design nods to Umbro’s legendary past—whether through the sharp collar of the 90s Drill training top, the exposed stitching of the Umbro Fusion, or textures reminiscent of classic footballs.
Summary:
Rains x Umbro’s Apply Pressure fuses minimalist urban design with Umbro’s iconic football heritage. Using waterproof and windproof technical fabrics, the collection reimagines classic Umbro pieces with sleek silhouettes and subtle detailing. From collared training tops to stitching inspired by vintage kits, it’s a refined, functional evolution of football style—crafted for the city as much as the game.
