Lyle & Scott x Diadora. Young Live Forever.

There are journeys you remember forever. The walk home from school. The walk to the match. Two rites of passage wrapped in football, friendship, and finding your identity. That’s the story behind the Lyle & Scott x Diadora collaboration. Shot by legendary British photographer Gavin Watson, the collection is a love letter to terrace culture and youthful rebellion.

Both brands know the pitch. Diadora’s legacy is built on football boots and speed. Ours is rooted in the terraces, pubs before kick-off, side streets after full-time, our eagle logo stitched into memory. Together, we bring that history into the present with a collection that’s nostalgic, raw, and unmistakably real.

“Gavin’s lens captures it perfectly. Black-and-white film. Unscripted moments. School blazers are worn loose over track tops. Trainers scuffed from goalpost scrambles—that unmistakable mix of uniform and individuality, kids finding their crew, their look, their voice.”

The capsule takes on the theme of the ‘Walk Home from School’, that sacred hour where rules fade and identity forms. It’s where cliques are forged, first kisses fumbled, and style begins to take shape. It’s where you unpick your uniform, roll your waistband, pull on your favourite jacket, and suddenly become someone else.

There are parallels with football, too. Leaving a stadium is much like leaving school. Your team’s colours replace your tie. Your chants become your voice. Adults and kids alike are caught in the same wave of freedom, shedding the weight of the week.

Across 14 pieces, the Lyle & Scott x Diadora collection pulls from both archives. Full shell suits in navy and burgundy. Three-quarter zips with bold chest graphics. Tees and sweats with dual-brand iconography. And four standout pairs of trainers that nod to '90s street style and terrace wear.

This isn’t just about retro revival. It’s about moments. The post-bell adrenaline. The matchday high. The defiant confidence of being seen in something new. It’s about how fashion becomes a memory, how what you wore on a Tuesday in year 10 still lingers, how your matchday jacket tells a story long after the final whistle.

Watson’s documentarian style elevates it all. The shots feel lifted from lived experience. There’s grit in the backgrounds and honesty in the styling. It’s not about polish, it’s about presence. Real places. Real kids. Real culture.

The collection is a time capsule and a statement piece. A reflection of where we’ve been and where we’re headed. Because some things don’t need to be reinvented, they just need to be worn the right way.
