Liverpool to Wear Nike Kits Until 31 July, Adidas Deal Starts 1 August
- Nike Contract End Date: Liverpool is contractually obligated to wear Nike kits until July 31, 2025.
- Adidas Contract Start Date: Liverpool's new kit deal with Adidas officially begins on August 1, 2025.
- Adidas Kit Launch Delay: The launch of Liverpool's Adidas 2025-26 kits is delayed until at least August 1, 2025, due to the ongoing Nike contract.
Although Liverpool's blockbuster new kit supplier deal with Adidas has been announced for the 2025-26 season, the club is still contractually bound to Nike for a few more weeks. The club's current contract with Nike is valid until 31 July, 2025, with the new Adidas partnership officially kicking off on 1 August, 2025.
This was perfectly illustrated during the recent announcement of new signing Florian Wirtz.
Liverpool to Wear Nike Kits Until 31 July
During his official unveiling as a new Liverpool player, Florian Wirtz was pictured exclusively in Nike apparel.
He wore the Nike 2024-25 home kit for his official photos, as well as Nike training wear for his medical and first training sessions with his new club. This was because Liverpool’s contract with Nike is still in effect.
The current agreement legally obligates Liverpool and its players to use and promote Nike products in all official capacities until the very last day of July.
This means all pre-season training and any friendly matches played in July will still feature Nike kits.
This has a major implication for kit fans. Due to these contractual obligations, the highly anticipated Adidas Liverpool 2025-26 kits cannot be launched before 1 August, 2025.
Supporters will have to wait until at least that date for the official reveal of the new home, away, and third kits from Adidas.

Nike and Kids of Immigrants Goalkeeper Jersey + Total 90 Shoes Released
Nike and streetwear label Kids of Immigrants have officially unveiled a comprehensive collaborative capsule collection. This wider release expands significantly upon the retro football aesthetic, offering a full range of apparel, accessories, and highly unique modified footwear.
The undeniable centerpiece of the expanded collection is the introduction of two bespoke slip-on mules, which draw heavy inspiration from the iconic Nike Total 90 football boot. The mules arrive in two distinct colorways: a muted beige and olive green iteration featuring a speckled sole, alongside a darker, glossy black and rich brown patent leather version. Both pairs are unified by a striking red and yellow outlined Swoosh on the midfoot and tongue, matching the vibrant accents found on the collection's primary jersey.
Rounding out the collaborative effort is a selection of matching apparel and accessories designed to complete the capsule. The standout piece of these other items is a special 1990s keeper kit.
