Nike 2026 World Cup Collab - England, South Korea, Canada, USA, Netherlands, Nigeria & France
The Swoosh is teaming up with seven of the most influential streetwear brands, designers, and artists on the planet. Each collaborator has been paired with their home country’s football federation to release a highly bespoke capsule collection.
Patta x Netherlands & Virgil Abloh Archive x USA
Every single collaboration will include custom matchday apparel as well as a special colorway of the new Nike Cryo Shot silhouette - a footwear model heavily inspired by iconic retro football boots from Nike's archive.
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.

Turkey 2026 World Cup Pre-Match Shirt Revealed - Streamlined Nike Template for Smaller Nations
Nike's preparations for the 2026 World Cup are being finalized with the reveal of the new Turkey pre-match shirt.
Rather than receiving a bespoke design, the new Nike Turkey 2026 World Cup pre-match jersey utilizes a highly visible, streamlined template that the American sportswear brand will be rolling out across its wider portfolio of sponsored national federations.
The defining feature of the Turkey 2026 pre-match shirt is its bold, all-over geometric graphic. The template consists of tightly packed, wavy zig-zag lines that warp and curve to create a dynamic optical illusion across the entire torso and sleeves. For the Turkish national team, this busy pattern is executed in vibrant, contrasting shades of red and dark orange.
Nike is applying this exact same streamlined template to several other national teams, simply adjusting the color palettes to suit each country. European sides like Norway and Finland, alongside South American heavyweights Uruguay, will all sport identical pre-match designs featuring their respective national colors applied to the same wavy graphic.
