There isn’t a day that goes by without a celebrity releasing a new brand collab, but 2024 is an Olympics year — so we’re getting the best in athletic talent and style teaming up for some seriously eye-catching drops. Since the games began on Friday, July 26, Paris has seen a never-ending conga line of athlete-fronted collabs and “spotted using this sunscreen”-type sightings, with new official Team USA collections releasing faster than you can say “red, white, and blue.”

Brands are moving as quick as the 100m dash to put their best foot forward in the Olympics merch market, and while some go for the gold, others are decidedly flops. But the best Olympic games collaborations have something for everyone, whether you want to wear something festive to a viewing party, or you’re a stay-at-home sports fan whose patriotic spirit only springs up every four years. There’s a whole host of summer Olympic capsules and sport collaborations, from Team USA member Suni Lee’s LoveShackFancy’s flag-inspired dresses, to Skims outfitting Olympians with comfort-first swimsuits, bras, underwear, and more. But there’s also Olympian-beloved skincare and recovery tools that’ll get you match-ready, even if you’re not a superstar athlete.

As the athletes step out on the court, track, and field in their crisp, new uniforms, you too at home can manifest gold medal style — read on for the most best Olympic collaborations we’ve spotted so far.

What Are the Best Olympics Fashion and Merch Collaborations?

While brands like Nike are the sponsor for Team USA’s competition uniforms, and Skims has partnered with the team to provide loungewear and underwear for rest days in the Olympic Village, some athletes have direct brand partnerships for the Paris games. So if you see them repping a certain sneaker or pair of press-ons, don’t be surprised, but we’ve combed through what the athletes are repping this year to find the brands worth buying from.
