Paris Saint-Germain is a football club that knows its way around a collaboration. Perhaps more than any other club in recent history, PSG has found its way into the public consciousness through collabs as well as football.
With the PSG x Air Jordan 6 due to release on July 27, HYPEBEAST thinks now is a great time to look back through the archives and have the readers decide what was the football club’s best collab of all time.

The latest collab from the French football team is the Air Jordan 6. Part of an upcoming apparel collaboration, the shoe is undoubtedly the star of the show. Using a subtle black and grey colorway, there’s orange detailing to the heel tab and tongue fastening that makes sure this shoe stands out.
BAPE Capsule Collection
BAPE has collaborated with many a brand, but the PSG collab was still eye-catching enough to gain attention. Consisting of everything from jackets to face-masks, there’s truly something for everyone who’s into the Parisian’s team colors. If the clothing and accessories weren’t up your alley, there was even a football.
Andrew Skate Decks
Skateboards have long been a mantlepiece object for those who don’t skate and this collab with Miami-based retailer Andrew showcased why. Coming in three colorways, it’s the perfect piece to mount on the wall instead of skating on.
Edifice Capsule Collection (2018)
EDIFICE is something of an odd choice for a PSG collaboration, but the Japanese label actually played a formative part in the team’s push into fashion. First working together in 2015, this is the second range from the two, focusing on down to earth basics in this capsule drop.
Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG
The Air Jordan 1 still remains the grail model from Jordan Brand, so it’s no surprise that PSG would rework the famous shoe. The subtle shoe was accented with a striped red, white and black tongue label, also placed on the midsole.
Air Jordan 5 “Friends and Family”
PSG continued to work its way through the Air Jordan models, this time focusing on the Jordan V. A “Friends and Family” model, the shoe was announced by none other than Michael Jordan himself on Instagram. The stand-out details from the shoe included a monochrome color scheme and a translucent outsole that showcased the Paris Saint-Germain logo underneath.
The Shoe Gallery Nike Air Max ‘90
This time PSG teamed with the Shoe Gallery and Nike for a rework of the Air Max 90. The shoe was a more literal take on the team, using and navy and red colorway that recalled the club’s colors.
Colette Scarf

We know, it’s just a scarf. But the mere fact that it’s from the now-ceased colette means that it still retains cultural cache in a way that few scarves ever would.

EDIFICE
Going back to 2015, this ÉDIFICE collaboration was PSG testing the waters to see what they could do in the fashion arena. As far as the brand’s collaborations go, it was one of the simplest, consisting mostly of the team’s crest emblazoned on basic jersey pieces.
