Stone Island x New Balance Explore Football Culture for Summer 2026

Stone Island and New Balance have unveiled the latest chapter of their ongoing partnership, this time turning their focus towards football culture through a full on and off-pitch capsule.

Drawing from 1990s football references, the collection blends Stone Island’s material-led experimentation with New Balance’s performance background, spanning kit, footwear, apparel and accessories. Rather than leaning into nostalgia directly, the release reframes terrace and training-ground aesthetics through a more technical, contemporary lens.

The on-pitch offering includes a football jersey and shorts developed in engineered jacquard, featuring combined Stone Island and New Balance insignia, alongside performance socks and a thermally bonded Pro Football designed for enhanced flight and reduced water absorption.

Off the pitch, the capsule centres on the STONE ISLAND | NEW BALANCE ABZORB 1890, a hybrid silhouette combining archival running references with technical updates. Elsewhere, treated fabrics and functional construction define the apparel, particularly through the Nylon Prismatico-TC jacket, whose liquid-like surface nods to Stone Island’s long-standing textile innovation.

The campaign stars Endrick and Bukayo Saka, photographed by Bolade Banjo, reinforcing the collection’s balance between performance, football identity and contemporary streetwear. Take a look below.
