International sports ware giant, Adidas, has launched the Jamaica 2026 ‘Bob Marley’ capsule collection, paying tribute to the late reggae legend.

The collection includes 11 items featuring Rastafarian colours, ‘Football is Freedom’ slogans, and Bob Marley’s signature, with a standout purple for the track pants. 

The collection includes retro jerseys, graphic tees, track tops, shorts, track pants, and special edition Adidas Gazelle shoes.

In a tribute to the island’s most famous son and the spiritual home of reggae, Adidas has officially released a special Jamaica 2026 “Bob Marley” capsule collection. The Adidas Originals lifestyle collection arrives just ahead of the critical World Cup play-offs, where the ‘Reggae Boyz’ hope to secure their ticket to North America this summer for football’s global spectacle.

The new Adidas Jamaica 2026 Bob Marley Capsule collection is deeply rooted in the legacy of Bob Marley. It serves as a direct lifestyle companion to the Jamaica 2026 home and away kits, sharing a similar cultural DNA.

Notably, several items feature the slogan “Football is Freedom” alongside Bob Marley’s signature and likeness—a nod to his famous love for the beautiful game.

The capsule includes distinct items, ranging from apparel to footwear and accessories. It heavily utilises the traditional Rastafarian colours of green, yellow, and red, but also introduces a unique purple tone for the track pants. While the collection is available now, fans will be hoping to see it worn across North America this summer.

If Jamaica successfully navigates the upcoming play-offs, this collection will undoubtedly be the soundtrack to their 2026 World Cup campaign. For Sam Handy, GM at adidas Football, the collaboration with the Bob Marley Foundation was a chance to engage with history on an intimate level.

He describes the process of working through tour‑era photographs and garments alongside The Bob Marley Foundation as a privilege, one that inspired a range celebrating Marley’s music, his passion for football and the spirit of Jamaica. Cedella Marley, CEO of The Bob Marley Foundation, sees the collection as a landmark moment, bringing unity, pride and her father’s enduring belief in the strength of the Jamaican people onto the global stage.

For her, the ‘Bob Marley’ capsule is a cultural tribute—a salute to Marley’s legacy and an acknowledgement of the ongoing work The Bob Marley Foundation carries out for underserved communities across Jamaica. It’s a collection with purpose, pulse and presence.
