Nike X2 Cryoshot: World Cup Sneaker Pack Release Details

Nike’s X2 World Cup rollout skips the traditional federation kit launch in favour of something entirely new: the Nike Cryoshot. Taking the “Boots Only Summer” trend to a whole new level, this latest model from the brand surrounds the usual studs with a crystal-clear TPU housing clip for everyday wear. To introduce the silhouette, the brand enlisted seven influential creatives, each tasked with reimagining an archival football boot for life beyond the pitch.
