adidas is using FIFA World Cup 2026 to expand its footprint inside Nordstrom to 35 doors, testing whether an event-driven shop-in-shop model can convert tournament traffic into durable wholesale channel depth.
adidas has entered into a US retail partnership with Nordstrom around the FIFA World Cup 2026, rolling out branded product presentations across 35 stores in eight host-city markets, as well as online.
The rollout is anchored by a shop-in-shop,”adidas at The Corner”, at Nordstrom’s New York City flagship through July 26, and a dedicated pop-up at Nordstrom Downtown Seattle through July 20. In Seattle, Nordstrom is also sponsoring a free outdoor viewing site at Westlake Park during the city’s six World Cup match dates. Additional displays will run in 33 other locations, including Los Angeles, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Atlanta and Miami.

The assortment is grouped by national team and spans men’s, women’s and kids categories, combining FIFA-licensed jerseys with soccer-inspired footwear and apparel tied to World Cup colorways.
For adidas, the tie-up extends its tournament retail push into a premium department store channel, targeting consumers who buy athletic product as lifestyle.
Nordstrom will run weekly Thursday activations during the tournament, including gift-with-purchase offers, sweepstakes and a rotating “Archive Zone” featuring one adidas archival item linked to the country highlighted that week.
