Fronted by Endrick and Bukayo Saka, the latest collaboration blends thermoreactive materials, football performance, and Stone Island's signature approach to textile innovation.

Stone Island and New Balance aren't interested in nostalgia. Their latest Summer '026 capsule looks forward, built around thermoreactive materials, engineered jacquards, and technical fabrics that shift with light, movement, and temperature.
The collection brings together two brands that approach innovation differently but arrive at the same destination. For Stone Island, that means decades of textile experimentation and material research. For New Balance, it's a performance-driven legacy rooted in sport. The result is a capsule that feels equally at home on the pitch and on the street.

A palette of juniper green and ivory white runs throughout the collection, linking everything from football boots and apparel to accessories and equipment.
At the center of the on-pitch offering is the Furon Elite FG V9. The boot features a one-piece mesh upper and a thermoreactive graphic that changes with body temperature, a direct extension of Stone Island's ongoing fascination with materials that transform. Alongside it sits the Tekela Elite Low FG V5, designed for control and touch, with semi-transparent green studs, navy detailing, and a chrome-finished heel that rewards a closer look.
The football kit follows the same approach. Made from 100 percent recycled polyester jacquard, the jersey, shorts, and socks combine the identities of both brands through a custom double-stripe motif inspired by '90s football culture. A matching 32-panel football with a micro-textured surface completes the performance side of the collection.

Off the pitch, the collaboration continues through a lineup that leans heavily into Stone Island's textile expertise. The standout is the Nylon Prismatico-TC hooded jacket, a lightweight fabric bonded to a finely grooved polyurethane film that creates a distinctive liquid-like effect across the surface. The material traces its roots back to Stone Island's iconic Mussola Prismatica, one of the brand's most recognizable fabric innovations.
Elsewhere, a reversible ripstop track jacket, garment-dyed fleece pieces, and T-shirts build out a wardrobe designed to move easily between training ground and city streets.
Footwear remains a key focus beyond football. The ABZORB 1890 reinterprets a New Balance sole unit from 2002 through a contemporary lens, pairing mesh uppers with seamless synthetic overlays and reflective details that reinforce the collection's technical mindset.

Photographed and directed by Bolade Banjo, the campaign stars Endrick and Bukayo Saka as they move between training sessions and urban environments in Lyon and London. It's a fitting backdrop for a collection that refuses to separate sport from everyday life.
More than a football capsule, Summer '026 is a showcase of what happens when performance design and material innovation are treated as the same conversation.
