Exclusive: Nike to Increase Football Kit Prices

Footy Headlines can exclusively reveal that Nike is gearing up for a notable price hike on its football kits starting from the 2025-26 season.

Higher Nike Prices for Football Kits for 2025-26 Season: Significant Hike for Replica Fan Versions

The Nike 2025 kit price hike is the first major one since 2023 and will affect both the replica (fan) and authentic (player) versions of their kits, with the most substantial rise hitting the replica range.

As of now, Footy Headlines has only received confirmed information on Nike's U.S. pricing structure. The replica kit, often the go-to option for most fans due to its affordability, will see a price increase from the current 95 USD to 105 USD. Meanwhile, the authentic version, which players on the pitch almost identically wear, will increase from 170 USD to 175 USD.

This marks the biggest price jump for the replica shirts in years, and while the authentic version is also seeing an uptick, the replica's hike is particularly notable, especially for fans who prefer the more budget-friendly option.

The particular massive price increase for the replica becomes apparent when comparing the percentages - the replica goes up a huge 10.5 %, while the authentic just goes up 3%.

More Than Just Nike & U.S. Prices?

Currently, the confirmed prices apply to the U.S. market and to Nike only. It seems sure that some of these changes will carry over to other regions as well, such as Europe and Asia.

Meanwhile, we could well imagine that other big brands such as Adidas and Puma will increase prices as well. However, we cannot confirm anything as of today.
