UPDATE 6/4/26: Official imagery for the Virgil Abloh Archive x Nike Cryoshot has just dropped, giving us a complete look at the Virgil Abloh Archive x Nike USA “The Stars & Stripes” capsule as part of Nike’s X2 World Cup collection. Drawing inspiration from Americana archives and soccer stylings from 1994, while the Cryoshot itself references the Zoom M9 football trainer and celebrates Mia Hamm’ iconic 1999 Women’ World Cup victory with exclusive V. A.A. for Nike “MIA HAMM” branding. The official launch is set for June 11th at wholesale and federation retailers, followed by Dover Street Market on June 13th and SNKRS on June 16th.
Original Story 6/1/26:
The Virgil Abloh Archive continues to expand its Nike Cryoshot project with a Team USA release tied to one of Nike’s most important women’s soccer models.
This latest drop reworks the Nike Zoom M9, a cleat-style silhouette originally released in 1999 and closely linked to Mia Hamm. That connection feels intentional, especially after Hamm appeared alongside Travis Scott in the early hand-drawn teaser for the Cryoshot campaign.
The shoe keeps things fairly simple compared to other pieces in the collection. A mostly white upper gives the design a clean base, while Fire Red accents add just enough pop across the shoe. Oversized “AIR” branding brings in Virgil Abloh’s signature design language without making the pair feel overdone.
The apparel takes a much louder approach. Warm-up rugby tops feature a mix of patches, stamps, emblems, and bold sleeve graphics. VAA branding appears throughout, while an “ARCH” Swoosh lands on the chest for another archive-style detail.
The Virgil Abloh Archive x Nike Cryoshot Team USA collection will release first on June 11th through Virgil Abloh Archive and the USA National Team. A Dover Street Market launch follows on June 13th. A wider release through SNKRS and select retailers is scheduled for June 16th.
