adidas Announce 'Newton Heath' Collaboration to Celebrate 140 Years of Manchester United

adidas and Manchester United have announced their recent collaboration over a new shoe designed to recognise the 140th anniversary of the club's founding.

The shoe is entitled 'Newton Heath', the original name of the club when it was founded back in 1878, before it was changed to its current form in 1902.

The limited edition cargo green shoe has a printed map of the Newton Heath area in each sole, showing the old location of the ground where the original team played, as well as the date and Red Devil icon embroidered on the heel.

A gold finish of 'Newton Heath' on the side of the shoe completes the look.
