Not only has Nike tapped seven different collaborators and federations to roll out reimagined takes on Cryoshot lifestyle cleats, it’s also enlisting those same names for exclusive X2 capsule collections.
Below, with the 2026 FIFA World Cup now mere days away from kickoff, we take a closer look at what to expect. Meanwhile, for cleats-centered concerns, this is where you need to be. X2 collections are set to begin being rolled out to the public on June 11. See here for full release details.
Canada x NOCTA
Les Rouges by NOCTA, in honor of the Canadian Women & Sport nonprofit, sees the brand reimagining the team’s merch while keeping the country’s football culture at the forefront.
England x Palace
The Three Lions by Palace honors Football Beyond Borders with a design inspired by St. George’s Cross.
France x Jacquemus
Les Bleus by Jacquemus, which honors France’s youth-focused Sport dans la Ville organization, is an arguable standout from the larger X2 lineup.
Netherlands x Patta
Honoring Favela Street, Patta’s X2 contributions stand as a full-hearted celebration of the Netherlands.
Nigeria x Slawn
Marking another X2 standout, Slawn’s undeniable and inimitable touches are on full display here, all while honoring the Bravehearts Ladies Foundation in Edo.
South Korea x PEACEMINUSONE
We Meet Up, a nonprofit founded by retired women athletes aiming to continually improve the experiences of younger generations, gets honored with the Tigers of Asia by PEACEMINUSONE capsule.
United States x V.A.A.
The still-omnipresent visual legacy of the late Virgil Abloh is crucial here, with the mid-90s also serving as a key inspiration point. Stars & Stripes by V.A.A. (i.e. the Virgil Abloh Archive) honors the Coalitions for Sport Equity, which utilizes an expansive network to help ensure the needs of younger athletes remain at the heart of sports programs nationwide.
