Adidas Updates Material of Argentina Kit
- Material Change: The Argentine national team has switched back to a fabric similar to that used during 2018-2020 for its 2024 home kit due to issues with the newer material.
- Performance Issues: The previous kit material was considered to underperform in moisture wicking and movement support, leading Adidas to change the material for 2024-2025 club kits as well.
- Future Technology: Argentina's 2026 World Cup home kit, set to be released in November 2025, will feature Adidas' new Climacool+ technology, which will be worn in select matches.
For several years, we have been saying that Adidas' kit material is suboptimal, especially against Nike's Dri-Fit ADV technology. For 2026, Adidas will release a new kit fabric, called Climacool+, set to fix these problems - for the Argentine national team, it was apparently not early enough.
Adidas Faces Kit Material Issues? Argentina Reverts to Older Fabric
Huge thanks to Vietnamese kit experts Chuyện Áo Đấu for the great vs image.
For the latest matches, the Argentine national team has reverted to a different fabric than the regular kit. The Albiceleste has had the fabric of its current 2024 home kit changed to the same/a similar one as used during the 2018-2020 period.
Sources suggest that the previous material was deemed to underperform in terms of moisture wicking and movement support. Adidas already changed the material for the 2024-2025 club kits, possibly because of the problems.

Argentina will very soon receive its new 2026 World Cup home kit (November 2025), featuring the all-new Climacool+ technology. The updated shirts will be worn in a few select matches only.
