As anticipation builds for FIFA World Cup 2026™, one of the most significant global sporting events in modern history, Nordstrom and adidas have joined forces to create a nationwide retail experience that captures the energy, style, and cultural influence of the tournament. Announced on June 4, 2026, the partnership marks a major moment for both brands as they celebrate the return of the FIFA World Cup to North America for the first time since 1994. Through an expansive retail footprint spanning 35 Nordstrom locations across the United States, the collaboration positions Nordstrom as a premier destination for World Cup-inspired fashion, footwear, and fan culture throughout the summer season.

At the center of the initiative is adidas at The Corner, an immersive retail installation located within the Nordstrom NYC Flagship at the iconic intersection of 57th Street and Broadway in New York City. Designed as a dynamic expression of the intersection between sport and fashion, the experience offers consumers access to an exclusive assortment of FIFA World Cup 2026 merchandise alongside adidas footwear, apparel, and accessories curated through a contemporary lifestyle lens. The activation reflects how soccer has evolved beyond the stadium, influencing fashion, music, design, and global culture in cities around the world.

The partnership extends well beyond New York. A dedicated adidas shop-in-shop has launched at Nordstrom Downtown Seattle, while 33 additional Nordstrom locations situated in FIFA World Cup host markets and match cities are featuring curated adidas presentations. These include major metropolitan areas such as Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. By activating stores in key host destinations, Nordstrom and adidas are creating a national celebration that mirrors the geographic reach and excitement surrounding the tournament itself.

The product assortment has been carefully developed to appeal to both passionate soccer supporters and style-conscious consumers. FIFA-branded jerseys sit alongside fashion-forward footwear and apparel that draw inspiration from the world’s most celebrated football nations. Adidas’s most recognizable silhouettes have been reimagined in World Cup-themed colorways, while the broader collection spans men’s, women’s, and children’s categories. The result is a versatile offering that allows customers to express their connection to the tournament whether they are attending matches, gathering with friends, or simply embracing the cultural moment unfolding across North America.

According to Tacey Powers, Executive Vice President and General Merchandise Manager of Shoes at Nordstrom, the FIFA World Cup represents a rare opportunity to bring people together through a shared global passion. The collaboration with adidas reflects both companies’ commitment to blending sport and style while creating immersive experiences that resonate with modern consumers. Through carefully curated products and interactive retail environments, the partnership aims to capture the excitement surrounding one of the largest sporting events on the planet.

Beginning immediately, visitors to the Nordstrom NYC Flagship can experience adidas at The Corner, which will remain open through July 26. The installation features a country-focused presentation of the World Cup assortment, showcasing products organized around participating nations and styled in a way that reflects the growing relationship between athletic culture and luxury fashion. The space serves as both a shopping destination and a cultural hub, bringing together fans, fashion enthusiasts, and tourists visiting New York City during the summer season.

Throughout the tournament period, the activation will feature weekly customer experiences on Thursdays, including exclusive gifts with purchase, special giveaways, and sweepstakes. In addition, the Archive Zone will highlight historic adidas pieces connected to featured countries, offering visitors a deeper look into the brand’s long-standing relationship with football culture and international competition.

On the West Coast, Nordstrom Downtown Seattle serves as another major hub for the partnership. Running through July 20, the Seattle activation offers shoppers a dedicated adidas retail experience featuring curated products and exclusive presentations. Beyond the store environment, Nordstrom is partnering with the Seattle Host Committee to support Summer of Sports at Westlake Park. This free public destination will welcome residents and visitors for outdoor match viewings, food and beverage experiences, and community celebrations. Nordstrom’s VIP hospitality area will provide a premium viewing experience for all six FIFA World Cup matches scheduled in Seattle.
