A Radical Canvas for the 2026 World Cup

The fusion of modern art and football culture reaches a fever pitch as the 2026 World Cup approaches. Nike has teamed up with Nigerian-born artist Slawn for a fresh collaborative sneaker: the Cryoshot Striker 1976. This unique silhouette draws inspiration from the historic 1976 Striker football boot, arriving as part of the “X2” capsule collection designed to fuel this summer’s global football energy.

About Slawn × Nike X2 Capsule Collection

The upper boasts a warm, natural-toned canvas material that serves as a pristine backdrop for Slawn’s signature, raw, hand-painted-style graffiti illustrations. Crisp white accents on the heel patch and tongue elevate the graphic’s dynamic motion, lending an effortless chic aesthetic to the overall look.

In a groundbreaking move, the innovative sole structure features the original soccer cleat studs entirely encased in a resin-clear outsole. This preservation allows the historic archive’s beautiful shape to shine through while delivering high-level durability and responsive cushioning optimized for everyday street wear. Alongside the footwear, the collection features co-branded apparel pieces utilizing the same distinct artwork. In terms of availability, this hyped drop arrived at select doors on 13th June 2026 and is scheduled to release on 16th June 2026. Be sure to check out this perfect intersection of contemporary art and World Cup fever.
