Decathlon drops cheerful 50th anniversary collection called Yestalgia

French sporting goods retailer Decathlon is celebrating its heritage after 50 years in business. With the Yestalgia capsule collection, Decathlon is keen to revive the spirit of a decade, the 1990s, “when everything seemed possible and freedom was a must.” The collection, designed in collaboration with French-Canadian artist Dalkhafine, is chiefly inspired by 1990s American sportswear style.

Decathlon, in a nostalgic nod to a decade bursting with colour, has opted to focus on 1990s free spirit, embodying it in a range of brightly coloured summer sportswear ensembles. Yestalgia’s lifestyle wardrobe draws on retro sportswear codes to include new-look tracksuits, flared leggings, velvet micro-shorts, T-shirts and crop tops. In addition, the collection features a pair of quad roller skates, the new OG2K sneakers, and a plethora of accessories like hats, sun visors, socks and belt bags.

Neon pink, green and purple are the signature colours of Yestalgia, which will be available as a limited edition from June 2.

Decathlon, founded 50 years ago by the Mulliez family, generated €16.8 billion in revenue (up 5.6% at constant exchange rates) in 2025. Despite the complex geopolitical situation, the French retailer managed to improve profitability, with EBITDA of €1.8 billion, up 21%, and net income of €910 million, up 16%.
