With the World Cup on the horizon, adidas are setting the tone early with a run of lifestyle jerseys that are an instant must-have. The Three Stripes have taken inspiration from iconic retro kits to bring a new look for four of its leading federations: Mexico, Germany, Japan, and Argentina.
Pulling inspiration from iconic retro shirts, adidas reworks classic looks from four of its leading federations — Mexico, Germany, Japan and Argentina — and flips them into oversized, street-ready statements. Familiar colours, bold graphics, baggy fits… it’s a proper conversion of on-pitch DNA into everyday wear, blurring the line between football heritage and streetwear energy. These are Football shirts made for the streets, loaded with history, attitude, and undeniable style. This is how you rep your country in 2026 — and beyond.
The Bringback jerseys are built for lifestyle, arriving with oversized silhouettes, V-neck collars and knit constructions that feel more at home on the streets than under stadium floodlights. And because adidas didn’t have to play by modern kit rules, the designs go big. Bold. Baggy. Unfiltered. It’s a showcase of what’s possible when creativity gets the green light.
That’s what makes this collection such a strong alternative to traditional matchday attire. You can still rep your nation’s colours during the World Cup — and long after the final whistle — without feeling like you’ve just walked out of the tunnel. It’s football culture with street savvy, made for everyday rotation.
Argentina’s entry taps straight into nostalgia, drawing from the iconic 2006 World Cup kit — Messi’s first appearance on the world’s biggest stage. The standout detail? A giant number 19 emblazoned across the front, using the original 2006 World Cup font. Subtle nods meet unapologetic statement, and it works.
Germany’s jersey is arguably the boldest of the bunch. A mash-up of the unforgettable 1994 away kit and the 2006 Teamgeist template, it lands on a black base with geometric patterns tearing across the sleeves. It’s daring, disruptive, and easily one of the most adventurous designs adidas have ever produced for Die Mannschaft.
Japan’s offering is pure throwback magic. Inspired by the 1993 and 1998 kits, it arrives in electric blue with tribal flame graphics running straight down the centre. White curved chest lines, intricate sleeve patterns and black stripes combine to make this one of the standout pieces not just in the collection, but across recent lifestyle drops full stop.
Mexico round things off with a rich green base that pulls from multiple eras. “México” sits proudly across the chest in a classic Gothic font, while the collar features an Aztec-inspired pattern that roots the design firmly in heritage. It’s bold, cultural, and built to turn heads well beyond matchday.
