Nigerian streetwear label Nine has unveiled a new drop, and even from a single look, the direction is immediately clear: playful, nostalgic, and rooted in that effortless Lagos cool.
The set you shared pairs a reimagined Brazil-inspired yellow jersey with deep-green shorts covered in an all-over “SIX” monogram, a graphic treatment that feels both sporty and mischievous. The jersey leans into classic football aesthetics but with Nine’s understated tweaks, while the shorts introduce a bolder, more expressive energy.
Beyond this look, the collection also includes blue plaid designs, expanding the drop into something more textured and versatile. Nine has always had a way of tapping into youth culture, pulling from football culture, street uniformity, and playful graphics, and this release sits comfortably in that lineage.
It’s streetwear that feels lived-in, familiar, and distinctly Nigerian, but with enough personality to stand out anywhere.
