Palace x Nike Three Lions Capsule Releases June 12
Palace Skateboards and Nike have formalized a collaboration centered on England's national football identity, unveiling The Three Lions—a capsule spanning pre-match training gear and lifestyle staples. The collection launches June 12 for the England men's team, with a broader retail rollout scheduled for June 16.

The partnership marks a notable intersection between skateboard culture and football heritage, two spaces where Palace has demonstrated increasing fluency. Rather than a straightforward jersey drop, the London-based brand has constructed a full wardrobe framework that acknowledges both the ceremonial and functional dimensions of international football prep.
The lineup centers on heritage-inflected outerwear and technical pieces. A leather and wool varsity jacket anchors the collection, detailed with chenille embroidery patches that evoke classic British sportswear codes. Alongside this sits a silver anthem zip-up—the kind of piece designed for tunnel walks and pre-match rituals—rendered in a lightweight, performance-oriented fabric.
Performance jerseys take visual cues from the St. George's Cross, integrating the symbol into the garment's construction rather than applying it as surface ornament. This signals a design approach more considered than typical national team collaborations, where Palace's sensibility for detail and cultural specificity appears to have informed the technical requirements.
Release Strategy
The collection rolls out in two phases. The England men's team receives exclusive access on June 12, followed by wider availability at select retail partners on June 16. Nike.com will carry the full range, ensuring the capsule reaches the core audience of Palace enthusiasts and football-minded consumers.
Beyond the product itself, Palace has anchored the initiative to Football Beyond Borders, signaling that the collaboration carries social intent alongside commercial ambition—a distinction that elevates the project beyond a typical seasonal drop.
