Nike Reveal Full 2024 National Federation Kit Sets

Taking care of business in one hit, Nike has unveiled new 2024 home and away kits for its national federations. Each design pushed each federation colour palette in a unique direction while maintaining the country’s aesthetic identity. 

With Euro 2024 and Copa America on the horizon this year, brands have been rolling out their competing nations’ new kits, and next up is Nike. Infusing new energy into the colour of each kit, Nike’s design team took a prismatic approach to refreshing each colour scheme called “metaprism” – a method of augmenting traditional colours through the lens of light and movement.

Each kit is made with Dri-FIT ADV, Nike’s pinnacle standard for performance apparel. Through research conducted in the Nike Sport Research Lab (NSRL) and through data measured using advanced body-mapping technology, the 2024 Federation Kits provide mobility, breathability and venting exactly where it’s needed most. The technical innovation brought to the Global Football kits sets new standards in designing for precision-tuned athletic performance.
