Nike and Palace have joined forces for a collaboration that has the streets talking. While the product drop grabbed the initial headlines, the creation of a South East London community hub has become the real story.
The VERSUS team breaks down why this is a true example of what good brand partnership in football looks like — exploring its social impact and what it means for both Nike and Palace.
We also unpack the growing discourse around Mary Earps ahead of her new book launch — and why some of the narratives surrounding it might be more harmful than they seem. Plus, we discuss how one strategic move from Erling Haaland has revealed a new side to his personality, and why it could inspire other players to follow suit.
The Future of Football is a podcast from VERSUS — bringing you closer to the people, stories, and ideas shaping the next era of the game.

Ep. 62: Baller League Final Four Live from the O2 Blueroom
As headline sponsors of Baller League, O2 invited us down to take over the O2 Blueroom and create a bespoke space for O2 Priority members, Baller League talent, and VIP guests ahead of the night’s action. With DJ Teddy supplying the vibes, and an all-star crowd in attendance, the O2 Blueroom set the tone for a huge finale.
VERSUS hosted a ‘Future of Football’ panel led by the brand’s very own Chief Commercial Officer, Johnny Kay. With the conversation exploring how Baller League is shaping the future of the game across fashion, content and community — with insights from footballers Albie Sheehan-Cozens and Bryan Ly, as well as content creators Anita Abayomi and Cameron Babayemi aka Culture Cams.
