Nike Football has officially unveiled its 2025 National Team Kits, setting a new benchmark for performance, innovation, and sustainability in football apparel.
The new kits are designed not only to meet the demands of elite-level athletes, but also to reflect the culture and heritage of each participating country with a strong focus on elevating the women’s game.
At the core of the new design is Nike’s Dri-FIT ADV technology, a material innovation that helps regulate body temperature by moving sweat away from the skin to speed up evaporation.
For the 2025 collection, Nike took a data-driven design approach, using advanced 4D body-mapping technology and digital design tools to study movement patterns, especially those of women athletes.
This resulted in precise placement of mesh panels, ribbed textures, and stretch zones across the kits to enhance breathability, flexibility, and comfort where it's needed most.
One of the most notable design features is a new side panel structure that increases core flexibility and airflow.
Each kit’s national crest is now produced using Lite Flex technology, making it lighter and more breathable without compromising visual detail.
Beyond performance, Nike has also made major strides in sustainability. The iconic Swooshes and trims are made entirely from Nike Grind, a material made from recycled shoes, unsellable footwear, and manufacturing scraps. Nike also increased marker efficiency to 85%, meaning far less fabric is wasted during production.
Design-wise, the kits are meant to be more than uniforms. Each one is crafted to tell a story using colours, patterns and visual symbols to represent the culture, identity, and unity of each federation.
Nike says the new range celebrates both the diversity of the teams and the growing strength of women’s football around the world.
To complement the performance kits, Nike is also launching a National Federation Collection that includes lifestyle apparel, accessories, and fan gear. These items allow athletes and supporters alike to show their national pride in and out of stadiums.
The 2025 National Team Kits and the wider collection will be available soon on nike.com and through select retail partners globally.
