Designing for Performance
Phil McCartney, Nike’s chief innovation, design and product officer, said the company worked with athletes, coaches, and football federations to understand how uniforms affect the game. The uniforms are designed to keep players cool and dry, with features such as mesh stitching and thermal regulation.
The World Cup kits also incorporate symbols of national pride, such as France’s rooster emblem and the U.S. flag’s red and white stripes. The designs aim to connect fans with their teams and celebrate national identity.
