Quick Summary
Nigerian artist Slawn is joining Nike Football's 2026 FIFA World Cup build-up with a collaborative Cryoshot Striker 1976 tied to Nigeria's Super Eagles and the Bravehearts Ladies Foundation. Nike has been pairing collaborators with their home nations throughout its World Cup campaign, with Palace representing England and Patta taking on the Netherlands. Slawn's project slots Nigeria into that growing list with a capsule that connects football heritage, street culture, and community purpose.
The Cryoshot Striker 1976 silhouette draws its DNA from the Mercurial 98, Nike's first Made in Italy football boot, and nods to that lineage with a translucent sole unit that keeps the performance reference intact. Slawn's hand covers the rest of the shoe: a white base receives layers of black graffiti-inspired artwork that carries the raw, hand-drawn quality found throughout his broader body of work. The result lands somewhere between a football boot reissue and a street-ready canvas, holding both identities without compromising either. The capsule extends beyond footwear into shirts, sweats, and jackets, with all apparel proceeds benefiting the Bravehearts Ladies Foundation, a nonprofit supporting young female athletes across Sub-Saharan Africa.
The Slawn x Nike Cryoshot Striker 1976 "Natural/White-Black" is set to release first on June 13th, 2026 through Slawn's own retail partners and Dover Street Market, followed by a wider launch on June 16th, 2026 via the Nike SNKRS app and select retailers for a retail price of $210.
