Former Super Eagles’ captain, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha led two current members of the ream – Samuel Chukwueze and Toku Arokodare – as models during the launch of new ‘collocation kit’ by Nike.
Sports247 gathered that the American sports kit makers rolled out the red carpet in grand style, with Okocha, Chukwueze and Arokodare joined in the ceremony by some musicians, actors and other stars of showbusiness.
Joining the three football stars was London-based artist, Slawn, who played a key role in unveiling the highly-anticipated 2026 collaboration kits during a campaign line-up that was tagged an absolute cultural reset.
Though organisers pointed out that the new kit were general designs, not basically for the Super Eagles, they still acknowledged the status of Nigeria’s football national team as one of the highly esteemed users of Nike’s brands.
A promotional report for the event noted in part, “The collection brings together an incredible mix of Nigerian icons.
We’re talking football legends Jay Jay Okocha, Tolu Arokodare, and Samuel Chukwueze, alongside veteran actress, Patience Ozokwo, whilst musical trailblazers, Kida Kudz and DEELA anchor the streetwear aesthetic.
“The collection itself translates Slawn’s signature graffiti style straight onto athletic staples, giving classic fan gear a complete rethink.
The standout piece is a white relaxed-fit graphic t-shirt that features a vibrant, spray-gradient lime green bottom half.
“The chest is stamped with the official Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) crest and bold, puffy script lettering that reads ‘NAIJA’ – a detail mirrored perfectly on the matching white fleece drawstring shorts.
“With the models rocking coordinated green manicured nails and graphic print trainers against Slawn’s iconic black-and-white doodle backdrops, the visuals feel less like a standard jersey launch and more like a complete lifestyle movement.”
