Jan 26, 2016, by Chris
Update: Lionel Messi today again trained in a blackout version of the totally new Adidas Messi 2016-2017 PureAgility Soccer Boots that are set to be officially released in Summer 2016 ahead of the Copa America. The all-new Adidas Messi 2016-2017 Cleats feature a cutting-edge design that has many things in common with the revolutionary laceless Adidas Ace PureControl Boot.
Lionel Messi Trains in Blackout Adidas Ace PureAgility Boots
Close-up pictures of the boots worn by Leo Messi.
Boasting a stealth look, the blackout Lionel Messi 2016-2017 PureAgility Boots feature an one-piece upper that is smoothly connected to the sock-like collar. Compared to the boots Leo Messi wore four months ago, the latest Adidas Messi 2016-2017 Prototype Boot comes with a collar that not only fits closer but is also lower.
The Adidas Messi 2016-2017 PureAgility Prototype Boots feature extremely short laces and a remarkable Honeycomb upper structure, made for better ball control. There is no external heel counter, and there are also no other elements visible on the upper that seems to be extremely smooth.
However, whereas the upper part of the boots is almost identical to the first prototypes Lionel Messi wore, the new pictures finally give us a look the outsole of the Adidas Messi 2016-2017 PureAgility Boots.
The new Adidas Messi 2016-2017 Boots feature a stud configuration made for ultimate agility with a mixture of exceptional small conical (two in the rear area, two in the front area) and triangular studs (seven). You can find out more about the 2016-17 Sprintframe sole plate here.

Outstanding Belgium 2026 World Cup Lineup Graphics
The Belgium national team has caught the attention of football fans during the 2026 World Cup not just for their performances on the pitch, but for their highly creative lineup graphics. Throughout the tournament, the official Belgian Red Devils social media accounts have been sharing unique, retro-themed starting XI announcements that stand out from the standard templates used by most other national teams. Big thanks to @TheShirtUnion.
The standout design from Belgium's 2026 World Cup campaign is a cassette tape motif, which was used for their matches against New Zealand, Egypt, and Senegal. Tied to their sponsorship with PwC, the graphics feature different cassette tape designs for each player, accompanied by captions like "Now playing: our starting XI". Other creative themes have included movie cast lists and tactical roadmaps, earning widespread praise from fans for being fresh and unique.
With national team social media graphics often becoming repetitive during major tournaments, Belgium's approach offers a welcome change. The attention to detail and retro aesthetic of the cassette tapes have made these lineup announcements highly anticipated before each match, generating significant engagement and setting a high standard for tournament graphics.
