adidas Launch The Glitch19 'Number' Skin

Keeping your personalisation options as spicy as a burrito, the next instalment of Glitch arrives in the shape of the Numberskin, launched by adidas with some big influence from the Mexico ’86 World Cup.

Launching off the back of the new Mexico 2019 home shirt that was revealed recently, adidas have decked out the latest Glitch skin with a stunning graphic that wraps around the entire upper. It takes influence directly from the “86” numbering font and official poster from the World Cup of that year, hosted in, you guessed it, Mexico.

The colouring for the latest Glitch skin is Mexico through and through, despite the new home shirt’s departure from the norm. The Numberskin uses the classic green, white and red of the Mexican flag effectively, fusing the trio of colours through the overlaying numerical design. The Three Stripes pop boldly in green on the sides of the boot while the heel of the soleplate transitions from green in the heel through black before returning to green in the toe area.

The new Glitch updates follows quickly on the heels of the ‘Absolute’ and ‘F50’ skins that were released last week. The Glitch silo continues to be an experimental platform where players can enjoy unparalleled adaptability for their style, allowing them to express their individuality in far more easy way than with any other silo.
