Although Odegaard was still technically a Nike athlete until the end of 2025, indications of a shift were already evident.
Starting in early January 2026, Odegaard began training in prototype Adidas Predator 26 boots while continuing to wear his older Nike Mercurials in games, signaling the impending end of his Nike contract and the preparation for a new partnership.
By late March and early April, the news of his transition became public. Adidas introduced customised Predator 26 boots tailored for Odegaard, while the Norwegian outlet ABC Nyheter reported that he had “switched boot brands” after a lengthy association with Nike.
On April 1, Adidas and several UK outlets confirmed that he had entered into a new multi-year endorsement deal, positioning him as a Predator ambassador.
