Hollywood Keepers turns goalkeeper flair into the bold new face of Nike Football style.

A New Era of Keeper Led Kit Culture

Nike is introducing Hollywood Keepers, a disruptive design statement. It kicks off its 2026 national team kit collections by putting goalkeepers front and center in the global football conversation.

Hollywood Keepers celebrates football’s past while setting the tone for the future of kit culture. It uses bold, expressive design to honor the players who guard the posts and often define the biggest moments.

The concept revives the daring flair and eccentric confidence of 1990s and early 2000s goalkeepers. It recasts their unforgettable attitude for a new generation of fans and athletes.

From 90s Keeper Chaos to Modern Drama

Hollywood Keepers channels the high drama and individuality of classic keepers. It translates these elements into designs as expressive as the athletes themselves.

The project arrives ahead of next summer’s biggest tournament. It frames Nike Football’s 2026 national team kits through the lens of goalkeeper style, rather than treating it as an afterthought.

The show-stopping approach first appears in the Hollywood Keepers sportswear collection. This off-pitch range pushes design beyond competition guidelines.

Being free from on-field regulations, these pieces experiment with color, prints, and storytelling. This signals the start of Nike’s wider federation kit program for 2026.

Sportswear That Expands Each Federation’s Story

Every Hollywood Keepers sportswear piece is an extension of what the goalkeepers will wear on the pitch in 2026. Themes from the future kits are dialed up here.

They take the narrative built around outfield players and multiply it with expressive drama.

Because this collection is not subject to match rules, it allows maximum creativity. For the first time, goalkeepers and their style lead the narrative.

This delivers the most extreme and exuberant expression of each federation’s identity.

Across eight select federations, the styles are anchored by:

  • A signature star motif inspired by classic goalkeeper jerseys

  • Bespoke all-over prints that turn each shirt into a unique canvas for national pride

Federation Highlights (U.S., England and Korea)

Hollywood Keepers gives each nation a distinct visual voice:

  • United States – Flashy details collide with reimagined stars and stripes, paying homage to the USMNT’s roots while giving the design a cinematic, showtime feel.

  • England – The iconic Three Lions are “unleashed” in a dominant, savage graphic treatment that stays true to English football heritage but ramps up its intensity.

  • Korea – The duality of Korean football culture appears through a layered peony print beneath a bold tiger pattern, accented with volt streaks that capture both grace and aggression.

These executions show how the keeper kit can become the boldest storytelling vehicle for each team.

Release Dates and Where to Buy

The Nike Hollywood Keepers sportswear collection will be available globally on December 8 at nike.com and select retail locations.

These lifestyle-led pieces arrive first, ahead of Nike’s new 2026 federation kits including the on-pitch Hollywood Keeper uniforms which will be unveiled closer to the tournament.

With Hollywood Keepers, Nike flips the script. The players in goal and the culture built around them finally get the starring role on the world’s biggest football stage.
