Update:

When Paris Saint-Germain face Arsenal in Saturday’s Champions League final, they will once again do it with the Jumpman logo stitched across one of football’s most influential partnerships.

When did the PSG-Jordan partnership start?

What started in 2018 as an unusual crossover between soccer and basketball culture has become central to PSG’s identity.

Remember this launch?

One year after routing Inter Milan in the 2025 final, the Jordan connection is now bigger than ever.

PSG’s latest “Night Edition” jersey, unveiled this season with a futuristic black design inspired by Paris after dark, is the newest example. Nike described it as a tribute to the “innovative history” between PSG and Jordan, with chrome-style graphics reflecting the French capital at night.

What PSG-Jordan gear is available to buy?

Given the obvious impact, the collaboration moved beyond simple football kits. PSG and Jordan now sell premium streetwear collections including jackets, sneakers, travel bags and lifestyle apparel, often at luxury-level prices. Some official match jerseys retail around $165, while limited collections regularly sell out.

That exclusivity is clearly part of the appeal… for those that can afford it. For PSG, the Jordan brand opened the door to American culture and global fashion audiences. For Jordan, PSG became another entry point into elite European soccer.

If the Parisians beat Arsenal on May 30, the image of the Jumpman beside another Champions League trophy will only grow more iconic.
