Palace Skateboards has confirmed the full product details for its "Three Lions by Palace" Nike X2 collaboration ahead of the June 12 drop. The confirmed pieces reveal how Palace has navigated the England brief: performance pieces that stay close to the national team's visual identity, outerwear that pulls decisively into Palace's own colorway territory, and a Cryoshot in grainy black leather that sits squarely in the London label's material language.

The material and colorway decisions tell the collection's story more clearly than any single piece. Grainy black leather on the Cryoshot is a Palace call, not an England one. The texture reads worn-in and tactile, closer to the brand's skating heritage than to the polished end of football fashion. It functions as the collection's lifestyle anchor, the piece that signals where Palace's identity begins and the England brief ends.

The Anthem Jacket in Silver follows the same logic. Standard England palette runs red and white; Silver sits outside that entirely, marking the outerwear as a Palace colorway applied to a football garment format rather than a football colorway applied to a Palace silhouette. The Applique Varsity Jacket, built in leather and wool with chenille patches, occupies similar territory. The Solo Swoosh Track Jacket and matching Track Pant bring the collection's coordinated set, built in lightweight smooth woven material with Palace's singular Swoosh branding.

The performance pieces run the balance the other way. St. George Jerseys sit at the heart of the England reference, carrying the cross-inspired design language the collection was built around. The Warm-up and Drill Tops in Grey/Infrared do something more interesting: Grey with Infrared accents is a combination that has appeared in Palace's Nike work before, giving the drill tops a colorway that honors football training kit culture while pulling it through a palette that is recognizably Palace. 

The Palace Skateboards Nike England X2 collection drops June 12 at 11:00 a.m. BST in the UK, Europe and US, followed by the Japan, Korea, China, and Australia drops on June 13 at 11:00 a.m. via the Palace webstore and Palace stores.
