AFCON 2025
Nike has officially unveiled its highly anticipated Super Eagles ‘26 Collab Kit collection in partnership with British-Nigerian artist Olaolu Slawn, combining contemporary street art with Nigerian football culture in a bold new campaign.
The collection, tagged “GO SLAWN OR GO HOME,” features Slawn and members of his family wearing the matching kits against one of his signature graffiti-inspired walls, showing the energetic and visual style that has made the artist one of the most recognisable African creatives in global fashion and art.
The new designs incorporate bold black-and-white patterns, dripping lime green details, spray-paint-inspired graphics, “NAIJA” lettering, and the classic 1945 Nigeria federation crest, creating a streetwear-inspired interpretation of the Super Eagles identity.
Beyond the pitch, the collaboration is being positioned as a wider cultural statement rather than just a football kit release, especially as Nigeria looks ahead following the Super Eagles’ failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The special-edition collection includes limited Super Eagles kits, hoodies, t-shirts, woven jackets, matching family-style outfits, and Slawn-designed Cryo Shot boots and sneakers.
The project forms part of Nike’s broader multi-artist collaboration campaign for the 2026 football cycle, with Slawn leading Nigeria’s creative direction.
Several Nigerian celebrities and football figures also featured in the campaign, including Super Eagles legend Jay-Jay Okocha, winger Samuel Chukwueze, veteran actress Patience Ozokwor, musician Kida Kudz and creative personality DEELA.
The collection is already available for early access through Slawn’s official platforms, while the full release is expected to launch globally on Nike’s SNKRS app and selected retailers later this summer.
Slawn, who has built a reputation for his provocative and unconventional street art, previously collaborated on sneaker projects including reinterpretations of the Air Max 90. His latest partnership with Nike further strengthens his growing influence at the intersection of African art, fashion, and global sports culture.
The unveiling has already generated strong reactions online, with many fans describing the collection as a bold celebration of Nigerian creativity and identity on the global stage.
