The iconic Brazilian brand Havaianas meets KidSuper’s creative world in a four-piece collection that brings football, art and fashion together.
LONDON, 3rd September 2026 — Following the second chapter of their partnership in Brazil, Havaianas and Brooklyn-based creative label KidSuper officially unveil their anticipated collaboration, bringing together Brazilian football culture, art and fashion through the creative spirit of futebol arte.
Launching globally at Havaianas stores on September 8, the collection features four designs that bring KidSuper founder and artist Colm Dillane’s creative world to Havaianas’ iconic silhouette. Rooted in a shared understanding of football that goes beyond the game itself, the partnership connects Havaianas’ Brazilian roots with KidSuper’s longstanding relationship with sport, art and self-expression.
The latest episode of this story took place in São Paulo, where Havaianas and KidSuper restored a public football court. The space was transformed with original artwork by Colm, based on an artwork also created for one of the Havaianas styles in the collection. The restored court later became the setting for the campaign, shot during Dillane’s time in the city and bringing the collection back to the place where this chapter of the partnership began.
For Dillane, the project also builds on a personal relationship with Brazil. A passionate football fan and former player, he previously lived in the country and spent time at Esporte Clube Vitória, in Bahia. His connection to Brazil, the Portuguese language and Brazilian football culture became part of the creative exchange behind the partnership. “Havaianas is such a Brazilian icon, and for me that made it a really exciting canvas to play with. We took this shared love of football and brought it into the KidSuper world through color, art and a little bit of the unexpected. The result feels like both brands, which is always what you want from a collaboration”, said Colm Dillane, founder of KidSuper.
Across the collection, three printed styles feature original artwork by Dillane, exploring color, movement and the expressive characters that are part of the KidSuper universe. The standout design is the Havaianas Top Turf Pitch, first unveiled during KidSuper’s FW26 runway show at Paris Men’s Fashion Week. Entirely covered in green velvet, the style recreates the look and feel of a football pitch underfoot, transforming the classic Havaianas silhouette through an unexpected material while connecting directly to the futebol arte inspiration behind the partnership. The four designs are finished with exclusive co-branded details and collectible packaging, featuring a custom card with four metallic pins for personalization, along with a KidSuper-branded gym sack.
Bringing together Havaianas’ Brazilian roots and KidSuper’s creative world, the collaboration celebrates a shared connection to football, art and self-expression. The Havaianas x KidSuper collection launches globally at Havaianas stores on September 8, 2026, but it will be available earlier through select KITH locations in Los Angeles, New York, Paris and the UK, as well as at KidSuper stores.

About KidSuper
KidSuper was created by Colm Dillane.
Though best known for his offbeat, emotionally charged clothing, Dillane uses KidSuper as an umbrella for everything he creates: paintings, music, films, performances, and whatever else feels honest in the moment. It’s less a brand than a living, breathing studio space in Brooklyn where experimentation is the only constant.
Dillane’s approach is joyfully chaotic, deeply personal, and rooted in the belief that creativity should never be siloed. At KidSuper, fashion coexists with comedy shows, theater plays, music videos, soccer games, and gallery installations. It’s all part of the same conversation; one driven by curiosity, friendship, and an unshakeable sense of possibility.
“When you are little, you believe you can do anything and that everything is possible – you’re young and you’re free” Dillane says. That sense of wide-eyed enthusiasm, the kind usually reserved for kids with big dreams and no backup plan, remains the heart of the project. The name itself nods to that: a reminder that when you’re young, the world still feels limitless. KidSuper tries to hold onto that feeling.
