Japanese music sensation Ado, at just 23 years old, has teamed up with adidas as the creative partner for the Japan National Football Team's 2026 jersey. She even penned the official anthem, "Kira," for the squad!
Now, adidas Japan has unveiled a special collaboration with the popular artist: the "Japan National Football Team 2026 Home Fan Jersey Ado Edition," alongside a full lineup of co-branded gear. Mark your calendars – it all drops on June 8, 2026!
The standard Japan National Team 2026 home jersey is built around the concept of "HORIZON." Its front features a multi-layered horizon graphic, symbolizing the skies and seas surrounding Japan, all while embodying the "SAMURAI BLUE" spirit. The back proudly displays the Japanese flag, a powerful reminder of the team's honor and determination as they represent their nation.
But the "Japan National Football Team 2026 Home Fan Jersey Ado Edition" takes it up a notch with some exclusive additions:
Ado's iconic "Blue Rose" emblem graces the front.
The back features a striking visual of Ado herself, rocking the Japan National Team jersey.
It's a truly unique design, crafted to hype up the Japan National Team like never before!
And that's not all! Fans attending Ado's upcoming Ado STADIUM LIVE 2026 "Ao" concerts will get a shot at snagging the "Ado STADIUM LIVE 2026 Limited Edition Jersey." This exclusive merch will only be available on-site at the July 4th and 5th shows. Full design details are set to drop via adidas' official social channels by late June.
Plus, an adidas x Ado collaboration short-sleeve T-shirt is slated for a mid-June release, with design specifics to be revealed around the same time.
To celebrate the release of "Kira," the official song for the Japan National Football Team, adidas is also running a special giveaway! Purchase any item from the adidas Japan National Team 2026 jersey collection and score an exclusive Ado collaboration gift.
