Sportswear giant Adidas is using its sponsorship of London EPL team Arsenal to tackle the very serious problem of knife crime among the city’s youth.
A new campaign fronted by Arsenal legend Ian Wright and actor Idris Elba and attempts to bring attention to the problem that’s reportedly seen 150 people die from knife wounds in the past 12 months alone!
