Nike today unveiled its entire collection of footwear, apparel and
equipment innovation for players and fans, inspired by the upcoming
summer of football in Brasil.
All home and away kits for the ten federations that will wear Nike in
Brasil were showcased at an event in Madrid. The kits combine high-tech
innovation to keep players cool, such as laser-cut ventilation,
engineered mesh and Nike Dri-FIT technology. They are also
environmentally sustainable, with each kit made from fabric that comes
from recycled plastic bottles. Visually, each kit features cultural
design elements unique to each country.
Nike has also created a collection for players to wear throughout
various moments during the tournament. Dubbed the “athlete journey”
collection, and overseen by Martin Lotti, Creative Director for Nike
Football, outfits players all the way from warm-ups, anthems, playing
and training, to media appearances, travel and downtime in the training
camp.

Today at French Federation training ground Clairefontaine, the future of
French football — Raphaël Varane, Blaise Matuidi, Paul Pogba, Yohan
Cabaye and Mamadou Sakho — unveiled the new French national team away
kit for 2014, and made their own personal pledges to make their nation
proud this summer.
France will compete in Brasil this year in an away kit that combines
their inherent style and flair for fashion with the best in performance
innovation to produce an elegant new look.
The "Marinière," a classic French design motif, makes a subtle return to
the away jersey in the form of a tonal grey mariner stripe.
The jersey also features a new crest, inspired by the classic cockerel
worn by the French team in 1958. The symbol is enlarged, freed from its
badge and given the space to become the ultimate symbol of national
pride.
