Nike X2 Collection: Palace, Patta, Jacquemus, Slawn, PEACEMINUSONE

The world's biggest football tournament has always been about more than the matches.

It lives in packed city squares. In late-night watch parties. In shirts worn thousands of kilometres from the stadium itself. The game belongs to the players on the pitch, but it also belongs to the communities, creatives and cultures that carry football long after the final whistle.

Nike understands that better than anyone.

As national teams take centre stage this summer, Nike is making its presence felt everywhere football exists. Federation kits are defining the tournament on the pitch. The latest Mercurial Vapor 17 and Mercurial Superfly 11 continue to push performance forward. Off the pitch, however, Nike is telling a different story.

A story about culture. A story about identity. A story called X2.

What Is The Nike X2 Collection?

The Nike X2 Collection sits at the intersection of football, fashion, creativity and community.

Created in partnership with national federations, globally recognised collaborators and local youth organisations, X2 reimagines football culture through a distinctly local lens. Each collection begins with a federation identity before being interpreted by designers, artists and creatives who understand the culture surrounding the shirt.

The result is a series of limited capsule collections that feel equally at home in the stadium, on the street or anywhere football becomes part of everyday life.

Football Beyond The Pitch

Nike's federation kits have always represented national identity. X2 expands that idea.

Rather than focusing solely on performance, these collections explore what football means away from matchday. The game as community. The game as self-expression. The game as culture.

Each collaboration is paired with a youth organisation creating opportunities for the next generation of players and fans. Nike continues to invest in these organisations as part of a longer-term commitment to youth sport development.

England x Palace: The Three Lions Reimagined

Few brands understand the relationship between football and street culture quite like Palace.

For England, Palace draws inspiration from St George's Cross and the enduring identity of the Three Lions. The collection combines football heritage with Palace's unmistakable visual language, creating pieces that feel equally suited to Wembley, the local five-a-side cage or the city streets.

The collaboration honours Football Beyond Borders, a charity using football as a tool to support young people across England.

Like the national team itself, the collection balances tradition with a modern generation's view of football culture.

France x Jacquemus: Les Bleus Through A New Lens

French football has always carried a certain elegance. Jacquemus leans directly into that idea.

The France collection combines football and fashion through refined detailing, elevated styling and subtle references to the French tricolore. Vintage-inspired stripe treatments and clean execution create a collection that feels distinctly French without relying on obvious nostalgia.

It is football apparel viewed through the lens of one of modern fashion's most influential designers.

Netherlands x Patta: Oranje Meets Amsterdam Culture

If any collaborator feels naturally connected to football culture, it is Patta.

Born in Amsterdam and deeply rooted in community, Patta brings a uniquely Dutch perspective to Oranje. The collection incorporates symbols representing the diverse backgrounds of KNVB players alongside references tied to Dutch cities and communities.

The result is a celebration of modern Dutch identity.

Football remains the common language, but the collection recognises the many stories and cultures that contribute to it.

The partnership honours Favela Street and its mission to create positive opportunities for young people through football.

Nigeria x Slawn: Raw Creativity For The Super Eagles

Nigeria has consistently produced some of football's most iconic kits. Slawn brings that same fearless energy to X2.

Known for his expressive artistic style and hand-drawn visual language, Slawn reinterprets the Super Eagles through bold graphics inspired by Nigerian creativity and culture. The collection feels vibrant, unapologetic and impossible to ignore.

Exactly as it should. The collaboration supports the Bravehearts Ladies Foundation, continuing Nike's commitment to creating opportunities through sport.

South Korea x PEACEMINUSONE: Tradition Meets Modern Expression

Football gatherings have always been central to Korean sporting culture.

PEACEMINUSONE builds its collection around that idea.

Combining Korean Football Association references with details inspired by contemporary Korean workwear, the collection creates a bridge between tradition and modern design. Familiar PEACEMINUSONE motifs sit alongside federation-inspired graphics to create one of the most distinctive collections in the X2 lineup.

The collaboration honours We Meet Up, a community organisation helping create inclusive opportunities through sport.

Why Demand For Nike X2 Will Be Strong

The timing alone gives X2 enormous momentum.

Football is dominating global conversation. National teams are everywhere. Federation kits have become cultural products as much as sporting ones. X2 sits directly in that space.

The collections combine some of the most influential names in football, fashion, streetwear and contemporary design. Palace. Jacquemus. Patta. Slawn. PEACEMINUSONE.
