Palace × Nike England Kit – Streetwear enters international football

The latest Palace Skateboards × Nike leak is one of the more exciting news stories in the world of sports and streetwear ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026™. London-based brand Palace, which has significantly expanded its partnership with Nike in recent seasons, is reportedly working on an official England kit—though so far, the project has mainly appeared in leaks as a pre-match inspired kit, rather than a typical matchday kit.

The design is expected to feature a graphic motif reminiscent of stained glass windows featuring St. George, the patron saint of England, a significant departure from the classic white jersey with a red cross and standard football design. The yoke will feature the Palace x Nike logo on the right chest, while the national team's Three Lions symbol will appear on the left. Matching shorts are also expected to incorporate this style, though details are still unofficial and based on leaks from Footy Headlines.

This is a new phase in the Palace and Nike partnership, which has previously presented football-inspired capsule collections (including the P90 capsule inspired by the iconic Total 90 line) and opened a shared culture and sporting venue in London, Manor Place – a hub combining skate, football and art.

In the context of global football, Nike has long been the official kit supplier to the England national team and many other national and club teams, so Palace’s entry into off-field or pre-match design adds a strong streetwear DNA to the classic football kits.

In short: it's not just another football shirt - it's a meeting of skateboarding culture, street fashion and national football , which shows how streetwear is increasingly penetrating the world of sports aesthetics.
