Nike, Jacquemus and the French National Team: the 2026 event collection

It’s the unexpected crossover shaking up the fashion world and the football scene on the eve of the 2026 World Cup. Nike, historic supplier of the French Football Federation (FFF), has teamed up with prodigy designer Simon Porte Jacquemus to unveil an exclusive capsule collection dedicated to the French National Team.

How does this collaboration succeed in boldly blending luxury streetwear with French sporting heritage? A breakdown of an already iconic collection.

A nostalgic inspiration: the 90s revisited

This unprecedented collaboration is part of the Nike X2 program, an initiative aimed at connecting national federations with designers and associations (here, Sport dans la Ville).

To imagine the Blues’ wardrobe, Jacquemus didn’t look far: he dived back into his own childhood memories. The collection’s aesthetic is a true tribute to 1990s football culture. Drawing inspiration from an old Nike tracksuit from his youth, the designer infuses his legendary minimalism into retro and technical cuts.

Key pieces of the France x Jacquemus collection

The strength of this capsule lies in its ability to offer high-performance clothing for athletes while maintaining a resolutely "Couture" look. Here are the essentials:

The Anthem jacket: minimalist elegance... and an optical illusion

The centerpiece of the wardrobe, the France Jacquemus Anthem jacket stands out for its bright whiteness. The details are subtle: the Nike Swoosh, the French National Team rooster, and the Jacquemus logo are embroidered tone-on-tone. However, the jacket went viral on social media for a funny reason: the thin tricolor band (blue, white, red) running along the sleeves visually recalls Adidas’ "three stripes," the historic rival. An unintentional nod that sparked a lot of reactions!

The pre-match jersey: pinstripes and technicality

Designed with Nike’s Dri-FIT technology for optimal sweat wicking, the pre-match and goalkeeper jerseys feature fine vertical blue and white stripes (pinstripes). A design both vintage and ultra-elegant, perfect for the stadium and the street.

The Cryoshot sneaker: the legendary Tiempo R10 reinvented

On the sneaker side, Jacquemus hits hard by revisiting the Tiempo R10, Ronaldinho’s legendary shoe. Renamed Cryoshot, this premium white leather version incorporates the original studs into a transparent outsole. The football shoe thus becomes a sharp lifestyle sneaker.

Prices and release dates: where to buy the collection?

Highly anticipated by sneaker, fashion, and football fans, the collection benefited from a strategic launch:

• June 11, 2026: Early release on Jacquemus’ online store and official FFF networks.
• June 16, 2026: Worldwide launch on the Nike SNKRS app and selected retailers.

Pricing:

• Pre-match jersey: €70
• Anthem jacket: €110
• Cryoshot sneakers: €200

The collab in brief

With this collaboration, Nike and Jacquemus prove that the football jersey is no longer just for the stands. By revisiting the 90s aesthetic with the elegance of French haute couture, this French National Team 2026 capsule establishes itself as a must-have for all lovers of beautiful play and fashion.
