It's a London thing

Kitted out head-to-toe in Nike gear from Air Max 97 Silver Bullets to Flyknit Racers, it’s clear to see that these four Chelsea Academy players know how to keep on top of their style game. Ike Ugbo, Mason Mount, Trevoh Chabolah and Dujon Sterling have three things in common, they all won the FA Youth Championship, grew up on the streets of London and are proud to be labelled Nike athletes. Keen to find out more about the ones to watch this season, we headed to their local hangout just off Harrow Road, W2 for an exclusive shoot, and of course to get the lowdown on their street style, sneaker collection and evolving skills on the pitch – and the dancefloor.
