Update - Monday, June 1, 2026: Nike has officially launched its ambitious 'X2' capsule collection ahead of the 2026 World Cup, bridging the gap between elite football performance and high-end streetwear. The project brings together seven national federations, seven visionary fashion collaborators, and seven youth community organizations.
Designed to celebrate global football culture both on and off the pitch, the expansive collection includes bespoke pre-match apparel, lifestyle clothing, and a highly innovative new line of street-ready footwear.
Nike 2026 World Cup Collab - 'X2' World Cup Streetwear Collection Featuring Seven Global Designers - England, South Korea, Canada, USA, Netherlands, Nigeria & France
The Nike X2 2026 World Cup collection provides each participating nation with a distinct design language tailored to its local culture. The United States teams up with V.A.A. to channel vintage Americana, heavily utilizing Virgil Abloh’s visual legacy to playfully reimagine the nostalgic aesthetics of the 1994 tournament. England’s collaboration with London skate brand Palace pays tribute to the St. George’s Cross on slim-fitting, sweat-wicking apparel, while France joins forces with Jacquemus to deliver refined, elegant tricolor stripe patterns. Canada rounds out the North American contingent by partnering with NOCTA for a streetwear-driven take on national heritage, incorporating elements of nature and the Canadian flag.
The global roster continues with the Netherlands pairing up with Patta to celebrate Dutch unity, mixing the classic States Lion with unique city-specific symbols and charms. Nigeria collaborates with artist Slawn, whose raw, hand-drawn style and unfiltered take on the Super Eagles' wings highlight the vibrancy of the nation's heritage. Finally, South Korea partners with PEACEMINUSONE, fusing modern Korean workwear detailing with the brand's iconic flower motif to represent generations of cultural gatherings.
A core element of the X2 project is its direct integration onto the pitch and its commitment to local communities. Each designer collaboration honors a specific youth sport organization, such as England's Football Beyond Borders, France's Sport dans la Ville, and the USA's Coalitions for Sport Equity. These community charities will receive massive global visibility, as their logos will be proudly displayed on the front of seven special pre-match jerseys that the national teams will wear during all of their upcoming international friendly matches.
Nike X2 Cyroshots Shoes
Beyond the apparel, Nike is introducing "Cryoshots," a brand-new footwear concept that transforms legendary football boots from the brand's vault into everyday sneakers.
By encasing the studs of iconic cleats - such as the Patta-designed Mercurial Vapor R9 and the V.A.A. Zoom M9 - within crystal-clear, flat outsoles, fans can comfortably wear classic football silhouettes on the street.
Here is the complete breakdown of the seven incredible collaborations coming for the 2026 World Cup:
G-Dragon x South Korea
K-pop icon and fashion visionary G-Dragon (the mind behind PEACEMINUSONE) is teaming up with the Korea Football Association. Known for his eclectic, boundary-pushing style and previous highly successful Nike Air Force 1 collaborations, expect this collection to perfectly bridge the gap between global K-pop culture and the dynamic identity of the South Korean national team.
Jacquemus x France
Taking Les Bleus into the realm of high fashion, Nike has tapped Parisian luxury label Jacquemus for the France collection. Founded by Simon Porte Jacquemus, the brand is famous for its chic, minimalist, and elegant aesthetic. We expect this to be the most sophisticated and premium offering of the entire 2026 lineup, blending French football heritage with runway-ready silhouettes.
NOCTA x Canada
With Canada serving as a co-host for the 2026 World Cup, Nike is bringing in the country's biggest global superstar: Drake. His Nike sub-label, NOCTA, will design the Canadian capsule. NOCTA is renowned for its aggressive, tech-fleece-heavy, and sporty streetwear aesthetics, which should translate incredibly well to modern matchday apparel and a retro-inspired Cryo Shot sneaker.
Palace x England
London-based skateboarding and streetwear heavyweight Palace will take the reins for the Three Lions. Palace is no stranger to football, having famously collaborated with Juventus in 2019. The Palace England 2026 World Cup jersey has been already leaked, and it's a standout piece.
Patta x Netherlands
Amsterdam's very own Patta is linking up with the KNVB for the Netherlands collection. Patta has a deeply ingrained connection to both football culture and Nike (specifically their legendary Air Max collaborations). Expect this capsule to heavily draw on Dutch street culture, hip-hop, and the iconic "Oranje" color palette.
Slawn x Nigeria
Nike's Nigeria drops are always the most highly anticipated. For this collection, Nike has partnered with London-based Nigerian artist Olaolu Slawn. Known for his chaotic, provocative, graffiti-style artwork, Slawn's signature aesthetic, combined with the vibrant energy of the Super Eagles, is guaranteed to produce one of the wildest and most sought-after kits of the year.
Virgil Abloh Archive x USA
In a beautiful and emotional tribute, Nike is collaborating with the Virgil Abloh Archive for the United States collection. The late Off-White founder had a profound love for football, previously releasing the iconic "Football, Mon Amour" collection with Nike in 2018.
The entire Nike X2 2026 World Cup collection will see a staggered launch, dropping at collaborator and federation stores on June 11, arriving at Dover Street Market locations on June 13, and releasing globally via Nike SNKRS on June 16.

Marathon Universitario 2026 Señor de los Milagros Kit Released
Peruvian champions Universitario de Deportes and Marathon Sports have officially unveiled a special-edition kit honoring the Señor de los Milagros (Lord of Miracles) for the second consecutive year. The commemorative release arrives just in time for October, the month traditionally associated with the religious devotion across Peru.
The Universitario 2026 Señor de los Milagros shirt retains the club's iconic cream base color, pairing it with deep purple and radiant gold detailing. An intricate, tone-on-tone graphic pattern covers the front and sleeves, inspired by religious stained glass windows and the embroidery found on traditional garments. The club crest has been given an ornate overhaul, outlined in purple with an elaborate golden sunburst surrounding it, while a dedicated Lord of Miracles patch adorns the upper back.
One of the most notable design features is on the sleeve cuffs, where purple bands display the logos and numbers of all the cuadrillas, the brotherhood groups responsible for carrying the procession litter during celebrations. The collection includes short-sleeve, long-sleeve, and purple goalkeeper editions alongside matching pre-match apparel.
Racing Santander 26-27 Third Kit Released
Spanish club Real Racing Club de Santander has officially unveiled its new third kit for the 26-27 season. Designed and produced by local Cantabrian sports brand Austral, the new strip brings back a stealthy black look accented with the club's signature green detailing.
The Austral Racing Santander 26-27 third jersey has a predominantly black base adorned with a tonal graphic pattern inspired by the lábaro cántabro, rendered in varying intensities across the front. Vivid green accents trim the collar, sleeve cuffs, and lower hem, while the sponsors and Austral logo appear in crisp white alongside the full-color club crest. Green shorts and black socks with green turnovers complete the uniform.
As a special tribute to the fanbase, the interior of the shirt is sublimated with the names of all 18,804 club season ticket holders for the 26-27 campaign. The kit debuted with a limited initial release of 500 units on the club's online store before rolling out to the physical shop at El Sardinero.
Giugliano 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Italian Serie C club Giugliano Calcio 1928 and technical partner Legea have officially unveiled their new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. The Campania-based club, nicknamed the Tigrotti, continue their collaboration with the domestic sportswear brand for the upcoming league campaign.
The Legea Giugliano 26-27 home shirt embraces the club's traditional gialloblù identity with a classic horizontal striped design. Bold blue hoops run across the bright yellow torso, complemented by solid yellow sleeves, subtle blue trim on the cuffs, and a matching crew collar. The chest features the club's tiger crest alongside Legea branding and local principal sponsor graphics.
The Legea Giugliano 26-27 away shirt delivers an ornate design inspired by local classical architecture. Set on an off-white base, the jersey showcases subtle fresco-style illustrations in warm sand tones, highlighted by classical columns, intricate motifs, and the Roman numerals MCMXXVIII honoring the club's founding year of 1928. Matching sand-colored trim on the V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs rounds off the look.
Austria Lustenau Release Special-Edition 26-27 "Vintage" Kit
Austrian club SC Austria Lustenau has unveiled a special-edition jersey, dubbed the "Vintage" kit, created in collaboration with Italian brand Erreà. The limited-edition shirt was launched for the friendly match against German giants FC Schalke 04 at the Sun Minimeal Arena.
The Erreà Austria Lustenau 26-27 "Vintage" jersey comes in an off-white cream base adorned with a subtle all-over floral damask pattern. It is complemented by a dark green polo collar with dual gold pinstripes, an aesthetic echoed on the matching ribbed sleeve cuffs. To complete the clean retro look, the club crest, Erreà chest logo, and Sun Minimeal front sponsor are all rendered in monochrome dark green.
On the back, the retro styling continues with an elegant serif typeface in green for the player names and squad numbers. The release represents another custom design from Erreà in their first season outfitting the Austrian side, after taking over the club's technical contract ahead of the 26-27 campaign.
Betting Ban: Brazilian Club Vila Nova Announce BYD Main Shirt Sponsor Deal
Brazilian club Vila Nova FC has officially announced Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD as its new primary front-of-shirt sponsor. Described by the club as the largest commercial partnership in its history, the agreement places the BYD logo prominently on the chest of the team's Volt Sport kits through the end of 2026, with an option to extend into 2027.
The sponsorship is executed in collaboration with Saga, an authorized dealership network representing BYD in Brazil, whose small logo appears directly underneath the main BYD mark. The automotive manufacturer replaces previous shirt sponsor Bet da Sorte, following a wave of regulatory restrictions on betting companies operating in Brazilian football.
Currently fighting at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B table and chasing promotion to the top flight, Vila Nova is set to debut the redesigned shirts immediately. The landmark agreement secures vital financial stability for the club's promotion push while expanding BYD's growing footprint across South American football.
Legia Warsaw Release First Adidas Originals Collection in Decades
Legia Warsaw and Adidas have officially launched an all-new Originals lifestyle collection, marking the club's first dedicated project under the iconic Trefoil banner in decades. The retro-infused streetwear range draws heavily on vintage terrace fashion and archival sportswear aesthetics.
Rendered in Legia's traditional palette of green, white, and black, the drop includes classic full-zip track jackets, hoodies, track pants, and t-shirts. Every piece is detailed with Adidas' signature Trefoil logo and prominent Three Stripes down the sleeves and legs. Fans are also treated to two distinct badge options across the garments, with items arriving with either the club's modern crest or the iconic circular 'eLka' emblem.
The Adidas Originals Legia Warsaw collection is available now through the club's official online fan store and selected physical locations. Prices range from 259 PLN for t-shirts to 419 PLN (60-95 EUR) for the full-zip track tops.
