England Unveil '90s-Inspired Nike Retro Shirt Ahead of World Cup

England and Nike have unveiled a unique retro-inspired shirt ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, but the team will not wear it during the tournament. With the first game of this year's kick-off now just days away, the Three Lions have released the England Nike Energy Top.

Design and Features

Forming part of the new England Nike Energy Pack lifestyle collection, the blue shirt features '90s-inspired details, including oversized Nike branding and an all-over graphic print with England iconography similar to the latest World Cup strips. It is designed with Nike Dri-FIT technology and a relaxed retro fit, which Nike says 'brings vintage football culture into the modern day'.

Pricing and Discount

The Energy Top usually costs £69.99 when purchased directly from retailers like Fanatics or the England Official Store. However, fans can save more than £16 off the price. By signing up for a free TopCashback account, shoppers receive a £15 welcome bonus and cashback when shopping at the England store. Combining these offers reduces the effective price to £53.77 after cashback, a total discount of £16.22 or roughly 23% off the usual price.

Fan Reactions

Reactions to the Energy Top have been mixed. Some fans praised it on social media, with one writing: 'Beautiful kit. The best so far.' Others were more critical, commenting: 'The state of that.' Another fan noted: 'The sizing feels really great. Above all, the colour is incredibly beautiful.'
