Did adidas Already Win the World Cup?
Love football or hate it, the World Cup is coming and there’s nothing you can do about it. For those who hate it, unfortunately, this means that there’s no escape from the constant news and discussion of formations, injuries, success stories, and flops. For those who love it, you’re in for an excellent month of all the above. But, while we may be divided on the sport itself, we can all unite over the adidas World Cup collection.
From actual football kits to team-specific warm-up gear and even some exclusive Sambas, the adidas World Cup collection caters to all sides of football’s style spectrum. Alongside modern iterations, adidas treats us to a range of retro jerseys; while they might not be cut from lightweight, breathable fabrics, they go hard on the style front.
So, while you’ve still got time to stock up on memorabilia and apparel to show your support, hit our selection of the best bits from the adidas World Cup selection below.
Shop the best of the adidas World Cup collection below.
Mexico Icon Jersey
adidas' Icon jerseys are for those who want a trip down memory lane. There's no denying that we've lost something great in jersey design, so the Icon range is a treasure trove for style-forward supporters.
Germany Lifestyler Fleece Jacket
What we've been most struck by is that the adidas World Cup collection has many pieces that transcend their football roots. This fleece jacket, for example, is a great garment by itself, outside of football.
Samba Mexico Shoes
Probably our favorite piece from the whole collection, this Samba is an homage to Mexico and presents a perfect alternative to the sought-after Wales Bonner Samba.
Argentina Anthem Jacket
Argentina went big on the retro influences this year. This reversible jacket features one bold, graphic side, and a quieter side for those looking to keep it cool.
Germany Icon Jersey
Up there with the best of the best in the Icon range, this Germany jersey harks back to 1990 — an era that many would consider the golden age of football kits.
Argentina Home Jersey
We'll likely see some magic from a little fella called Messi wearing this top. It's a great option for those who want to live out their dream of being on the world stage with him because you can customize the piece with your own name and number.
Germany DNA T-Shirt
In contrast to the technical makeup of the above Argentina shirt, the Germany DNA T-Shirt is a more casual option that sides with daily wear rather than performance on the big day.
Mexico Home Shorts
In the arena of sports shorts, there's no argument that football shorts are the easiest to style day-to-day. While we are about to enter winter, there's nothing wrong with lining up a solid pair for when the sun's back out.
Sweden Home Jersey
Sweden didn't actually make it into the competition this year, but football loyalties don't die when winning prospects do. The Sweden kit is loud and proud.
Designed for Gameday Hoodie
When adidas says that this hoodie is designed for gameday, it means that it's technically perfectly designed to keep an athlete warm while never being too heavy. But, with a winter World Cup upcoming, it also makes it the ideal garment for gameday as a spectator.
