The capsule filters the [Three Lions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-sixty-fusion1) identity through Palace's streetwear lens, featuring pre-match shirts, silver anthem zip-up jackets, tonal grey tracksuits with infrared detailing and a leather varsity jacket with bold Palace branding and an enlarged Three Lions crest on the back. Founder Lev Tanju described the [England](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/admiral-sporting-goods) collaboration as a childhood dream, highlighting Palace's long-standing connection to football culture that predates any formal partnership. The collection launched exclusively on June 12 through palaceskateboards.com and Palace retail locations worldwide, with a wider release at select retailers on June 16. Palace shows how authentic ties to football culture can make brand collaborations feel more genuine and culturally relevant.
