Nike 2026 Kit Prices
Meanwhile, Adidas and Puma have kept their retail prices in Europe - Adidas and Puma replica kits cost you €100, authentic €150. This means that Adidas and Puma kits are priced differently (and lower) from Nike for the first time in several years.
According to La Source Parisienne, Kappa and Mizuno are also preparing similar adjustments as prices continue to climb across the industry. The move aligns with Nike’s broader strategy to tighten margins and reduce discounting.
