Ronnie Fieg has taken to Instagram to tease us with his KITH adidas Football World Cup 2018 fashion collection – his third collaboration with adidas so far.

Repping USA, pieces from the collection feature splashes of red, white, blue, gold. The pack consists of a USA stars and stripes and track jacket, a full gold jersey kit, and a pair of UltraBOOST sneakers boasting red, white, and blue stripes, and a scarf to top it all off.

Details of the KITH adidas Football World Cup 2018 are still unreleased, so stay tuned for updates.

What we’d cop: The complete full white tracksuit and the red track jacket for rotation (after all, the World Cup is a month long).

Kim Jones Nike World Cup 2018 Collection

This year, Kim Jones has jumped on the bandwagon and designed a World Cup 2018 collection. The collection sees retro and traditional pieces being reworked into new cuts, mainly inspired by the London punk style circa ’70s and ’80s.

“I was inspired by the idea of DIY of the time – cutting up and putting things back together – to create something new,” said Jones of the collection.

The sneakers of the collection are worth paying special attention to: the designer combines elements of the iconic Mercurial football boot along with three of his favourite Nike shoes: the Footscape, the Vandal, and the Air Max 97. The resulting sneaker, delivered in monochrome colorways, is utterly sleek and hardly short on style.

The collection was released on June 7 at select global retailers and online at Nike.com.

What we’d cop: The black-out sneakers.

Nike International Flag Pack

The Nike International Flag Pack is set to drop on June 14 in the United States. Keep a lookout here for more details on this drop, and whether or not a wider release will be made available.

The FIFA World Cup 2018 collection will be available from June 15 to July 15 in select LV stores. Though release details are still unconfirmed, Singapore should be seeing an in-store release mid-June. Stay tuned for more updates.
