Nike Teams Up With Slawn For Special-Edition Nigeria World Cup 2026 Third Kit

Nike has partnered with Nigerian-born, London-based artist Olaolu Slawn to create a special-edition Nigeria third kit as part of its 2026 World Cup collection.

The collaboration reimagines the Super Eagles’ visual identity through Slawn’s distinctive graffiti-inspired style, featuring bold “NAIJA” branding and hand-drawn graphics influenced by street culture and traditional Nigerian motifs. Combining performance and design, the jersey is constructed with Nike’s Aero-FIT technology for on-pitch functionality while embracing a strong lifestyle appeal.

The release forms part of Nike’s wider artist-led World Cup programme, which also includes collaborations with designers and creatives such as G-Dragon, Jacquemus, NOCTA, Palace, Patta and the Virgil Abloh Archive.

Alongside the jersey, the collection introduces the Slawn x Nike Cryoshot sneaker, a lifestyle silhouette inspired by the iconic 1998 Mercurial football boot and finished with matching graphic details. Together, the pieces highlight the growing intersection of football, fashion and contemporary art while celebrating Nigeria’s enduring influence on global culture.
