The countdown to the 2026 World Cup has officially begun, and while the world is marking the moment with predictions and playlists, Nike has chosen the more stylish route. The sportswear giant has opened the door to nostalgia with a drop that feels like a love letter to ’90s football. The Hollywood Keepers collection is essentially goalkeeper chaos dressed up as streetwear, returning bold patterns and unapologetic colour to a sport that has slowly drifted toward uniform minimalism.
Eight countries get their shine: Brazil, Nigeria, France, England, South Korea, The Netherlands, Canada and the United States. Instead of sleek and quiet, Nike pulls from its own archives, resurrecting the star-covered, geometric, slightly eccentric visuals that once defined keeper kits. Think neon gradients, marbled palettes and shapes that look like they were drawn during the golden age of arcade games.
Goalkeeper jerseys have always lived in a world of their own. They were once the place where football design misbehaved in the best possible way, only to be muted over the years into safer templates. This new drop feels like Nike remembering that keepers used to dress like the sport’s most stylish rebels. And maybe it’s time they did again.
The Hollywood Keepers collection arrives globally on December 8, landing on the Nike website and select retailers.
