4AD collaborated with New York brand Full Kit to create a World Cup–timed capsule of football jerseys and an accessory inspired by classic releases. The collection includes a Cocteau Twin’s “Heaven or Las Vegas” Scotland jersey, a Scott Walker–themed USA jersey, and a double-sided Colourbox and Air Miami scarf. The scarf references the World Cup anthems “The Official Colourbox World Cup Anthem” from 1986 and “World Cup Fever” from 1995. “World Cup Fever” was inspired by buying bright orange football cleats and coach’s shorts and wearing matching orange clothing at a show, when Esther Oliver named the feeling. The items are available through June 8 via the label’s website, and 4AD will donate funds to War Child.
"Just in time for the 2026 World Cup, 4AD has collaborated with New York brand Full Kit on a collection of football jerseys inspired by the label's classic releases. The capsule includes three garments: a Cocteau Twin's Heaven or Las Vegas Scotland jersey, a Scott Walker -themed USA jersey, and a Colourbox and Air Miami double-sided scarf that nods to their respective World Cup anthems, " The Official Colourbox World Cup Anthem" from 1986, and "World Cup Fever" from 1995. The items are available now through June 8 via the label's website."
"On how "World Cup Fever" came to be, Air Miami's Mark Robinson says, "One day, I bought football cleats and bright blinding orange polyester coach's shorts. At a show in North Carolina, I was sporting my new outfit, complete with a matching bright orange Teenbeat shirt. Esther Oliver came up to me and said, 'You've got World Cup fever.' That stuck and was the inspiration for the song.""
"As part of the release, 4AD will also donate funds to War Child, an organization supporting children affected by war."
