Carribbean-Inspired Sporty Collections : honor oak

Arsenal FC works in collaboration with adidas on the new Honor Oak collection to highlight the Caribbean influence. The shoe is named after the area that both Ian Wright and David Rocastle grew up in.

Ian Wright speaks about the new shoe, “Rocky [David Rocastle] and I grew up together, playing football on our estate, before eventually playing together at Arsenal. We were best friends and 21 years since he left us, I still miss and think about him every day. Rocky is the reason our whole estate supported Arsenal and he taught me what it meant to be an Arsenal player. The adidas Honor Oak represents the start of the football journey we both went on, coming from the Honor Oak Estate in Brockley and playing out our dream of one day playing together as professionals. I’m so happy we got to make these shoes as another small way to keep Rocky’s legacy alive.”
