DROP // APR'26"

Some drops are just drops. This one feels different.

The April 2026 collection is one of the most varied we've put together — spanning four decades, six continents, and some of the most iconic names to ever pull on a shirt. Whether you're here for the legends, the deep cuts, or that one jersey you've been hunting for years, there's something in this drop that'll stop you mid-scroll.

Let's get into it.

The Headliners

Every drop has its centrepieces. This month, a few pieces immediately stand out.

The 2002/04 England #7 Beckham Away Jersey (M) L/S is the kind of kit that needs no introduction. The sash. The Beckham name. The era. This long-sleeve version is especially rare and sits at the intersection of football and pure cultural iconography.

Right alongside it is the 1998/99 PSG European Home Jersey (XL) L/S — one of those shirts that collectors quietly obsess over. Pre-Qatari investment, pre-Galácticos money, this is PSG as a pure Parisian football club. The long-sleeve cut makes it even more special.

And then there's the 2008/09 Barcelona #6 Xavi Home Jersey (L) L/S — a shirt from arguably the greatest club side ever assembled, worn by the man who made the whole machine tick. A long-sleeve Xavi Barcelona jersey doesn't come around often.

The Golden Generation Pieces

This drop is stacked with jerseys from the mid-2000s golden generation of world football, and that's not an accident — it's just where the best kits lived.

  • 2004/05 Argentina Home (L) — clean, classic, timeless

  • 2004/05 Portugal #20 DECO Away (L) — Deco at his peak, from Portugal's legendary Euro 2004 squad

  • 2004/05 AC Milan #13 NESTA Home (XL) — one of the greatest defenders of all time, in one of AC Milan's most elegant shirts

  • 2003/04 Italy #21 VIERI Home (L) L/S — a long-sleeve Azzurri classic for the purists

  • 2005/07 Germany Away (XL) — understated and sharp, from the era that rebuilt German football

  • 2004/06 Olympique Lyonnais #8 Juninho Home (XL) — Juninho Pernambucano. Lyon's seven-peat. A cult jersey if there ever was one

  • 2004/06 Man Utd #14 SMITH Home (XL) L/S — Alan Smith in a long-sleeve United shirt is peak mid-2000s Premier League

The Moments Jerseys

Some shirts aren't just kits — they're frozen moments in football history.

The 2011 Spain #7 David Villa Away (XL) represents the peak of tiki-taka Spain, the side that won everything. Villa was the goal scorer that era sometimes forgets, and this jersey is a reminder.

The 2014/15 Netherlands #9 V.Persie Home (L) takes you straight back to that diving header against Spain at the 2014 World Cup. You know the one.

The 2009/10 Liverpool #9 Torres Away (XL) captures Fernando Torres at the very end of his Anfield peak — still the Torres who made defenders look foolish, wearing one of Liverpool's sleekest away kits.

The 2002/03 France Away (M) is a post-1998 World Cup relic, quiet and understated — which somehow makes it more interesting.

The Club Deep Cuts

Beyond the internationals, the club selection this month is quietly exceptional.

  • 2006/08 Arsenal Home (S) and 2008/09 Arsenal Away (L) — back-to-back Gunners kits from the Wenger era

  • 2006/08 Chelsea #13 BALLACK Home (L) — Ballack at Chelsea is one of football's underrated chapters

  • 2007/08 Tottenham #10 KEANE Home (L) — Robbie Keane in a Spurs shirt, pure early-Premier League nostalgia

  • 2007/08 Barcelona GK Jersey (M) L/S — a long-sleeve Barça goalkeeper shirt from the season before Pep changed everything

  • 2010/11 Blackburn Rovers #12 PEDERSEN Home (L) — the definition of a cult classic

  • 2009/10 Real Madrid Home (M) — Galácticos 2.0, the season before Mourinho arrived

  • 2016/17 Real Madrid #7 RONALDO Home (L) — the year they won La Liga and the Champions League in the same season

  • 2017/18 Man Utd #6 POGBA Away (S) — the Pogba era is already vintage

  • 2018/19 AS Roma #34 KLUIVERT Third (L) — a bold Roma third kit with a name that carries serious heritage weight

  • 2022/23 Newcastle Away (L) — the Saudi era Newcastle, already becoming a collector's piece

  • 2024/25 Leeds United Third (L) — one of the freshest pieces in the drop

The Modern Icons

The drop also includes a few pieces from football's recent chapter.

The 2023/24 Al Nassr #7 RONALDO Third (S) is one of those jerseys that exists at a genuinely strange crossroads of football history — Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia is a moment that will be written about for decades. Whether you love it or hate it, this shirt is a document of the era.

The 2022/23 PSG #7 MBAPPÉ Away (L) represents what might be the last great chapter of Mbappé in Paris before the inevitable Real Madrid move. Another jersey that's already history.

The 2019/20 Liverpool #18 MINAMINO Home (S) is a nod to the Japanese market and to Liverpool's Champions League-winning squad — Minamino arrived just as that era was closing.

For the Local Faithful

Two pieces this month speak directly to the Hong Kong football community.

The 2017/18 HK Pegasus #22 C M WU Home (S) and 2013/14 South China #16 P CHAN Away (S) are exactly the kind of local gems that make a collection feel personal. These don't show up often, and when they do, they go fast.

One More

The 2011/12 Nagoya Grampus #35 T.TANAKA Home (L) rounds out a drop that genuinely has something for everyone — from J-League collectors to anyone who loves the visual language of Japanese football kits from that era.
