Lorenz.OG x BEAMS Japan x Umbro Unite for ‘The 12th Man’
This November, London’s own Lorenz.OG steps onto new ground with BEAMS Japan and Umbro for a deeply personal, Japan-exclusive collaboration titled ‘The 12th Man’. Running from November 7th–9th, 2025, the limited capsule launches exclusively in Tokyo, bridging Italian football heritage with spiritual symbolism and modern design precision.
A Closer Look at the Lorenz.OG x BEAMS Japan x Umbro ‘The 12th Man’ Capsule…
At its core, The 12th Man is a love letter – to football, faith, and the shared energy between the stands and the sky. Lorenz.OG, known for transforming sneaker culture with his ethereal gradient treatments, channels the same creative spirit into this collaboration, reimagining Umbro’s timeless silhouettes through a uniquely personal lens.
The capsule includes three jerseys, three tracksuits, and one quarter-zip, each detailed with reflective 3M embroidery and signature Umbro craftsmanship. The colour palette blends Lorenz.OG’s dusk-inspired gradients with the heritage tones of SS Lazio, forming what he calls “a dialogue between nostalgia and light – between the terraces and the transcendental.”
For Lorenz.OG, this collection extends far beyond fabric and fit. The number 12 – emblazoned throughout the capsule – stands as a bridge between the divine and the devoted. In football, the “12th man” represents the fans – the unseen energy that turns a match into a movement. In sacred tradition, twelve carries spiritual weight: unity, faith, and divine order.
The 12th Man draws these parallels beautifully, transforming each garment into a meditation on belonging – to a team, a cause, or something greater. From the subtle glow of 3M detailing to the crest of St. Michael the Archangel, every thread echoes reverence: for the game, the culture, and the communities that sustain them.

As curators of the project, BEAMS Japan brings its signature balance of global taste and local craftsmanship. The collaboration lands exclusively in Tokyo, reflecting BEAMS’ ability to turn limited releases into cultural moments. Each item is Japan-only – a rarity that enhances its aura of exclusivity while honouring the shared craftsmanship and design language that connects London, Rome, and Tokyo.
The Lorenz.OG x BEAMS Japan x Umbro ‘The 12th Man’ collection will release exclusively through a BEAMS Tokyo pop-up from November 7th–9th, 2025.
