Nike’s latest World Cup-themed collections have nothing to do with what happens on the pitch and everything to do with what happens around it.
“Tercer Tiempo F.C.” and “Amor & Furia” make the case that football culture in Mexico and Latin America has always been worth dressing for, not as a mere nod to the sport, but as a genuine expression of the communities that have built their lives around it.
The Tercer Tiempo F.C. collection takes its name from the informal “third half” of any match day in Mexico, the one that happens after the whistle. The gathering in the streets, the conversations afterward, the shared spaces where the game gets processed collectively. The collection’s color palette pulls from the Mexican flag, with pink accents borrowed from Mexico City’s iconic taxis. The apparel — jerseys, jackets, tees — anchors itself in the visual language of sonideros, the neighborhood block parties defined by raw energy and layered imagery. Phrases like “Amor que no se apaga” and “Sin Frío” run throughout the graphics.
The footwear lineup includes an iridescent Air Force 1, an Air Max 95, and a bubblegum pink and green Tiempo StreetGato, each dialed into the same color story as the rest of the collection. Shot in CDMX, the campaign feels lived-in because it is, you see street food carts, futsal courts, the casual chaos of a neighborhood that doesn’t need to perform for anyone.
Amor & Furia takes a broader approach geographically, drawing from football culture across Latin America and organizing itself around a central tension: the love and the fury that coexist in how the game is felt. The anchor piece is a statement jersey with all-over graphics, a number 10 appliqué and thorn-pattern crochet taping at the shoulders. The rest of the apparel includes graphic tees, a thorn-embellished Swoosh short and a cap referencing Brazilian crochet streetwear.
The sneakers — an Air Max Plus with a colorful retroreflection, another Tiempo StreetGato, and a Total 90 — land in a palette mixing earthy tones, acid colors, and metallic accents that feel pulled from the same visual system as the graphics, which themselves draw from posters, stickers, tattoos, and graffiti. The collection is bilingual by design, speaking to an audience whose relationship with football doesn’t sit neatly inside any single country’s borders.
The Nike Tercer Tiempo F.C. and Amor & Furia collections are available now via the Nike website, Foot Locker, Champs Sports, and select retailers throughout North America and Latin America. Check out the footwear lineup and collection lookbooks below.
