A bizarre equipment failure occurred during Saturday's Scottish Premiership clash between Celtic and Falkirk, as young Celtic right-back Colby Donovan saw his Nike Mercurial Vapor boot completely snap in half mid-match.

Following a heavy challenge with Falkirk forward Ben Parkinson, Donovan was forced off the pitch to replace his footwear. Close-up photos quickly circulated on social media, revealing that the soleplate and midfoot structure had fractured cleanly across the center, leaving the heel plate completely detached and dangling from the front half of the boot.

Luckily, Donovan escaped any foot or ankle injury from the incident and was able to swap into a fresh pair of boots to complete the match.

Official images of an upcoming Adidas Equipment (EQT) retro collection for Boca Juniors have surfaced online. The capsule brings the iconic 1990s aesthetic to the Argentine powerhouse, highlighted by a vintage-styled tracksuit and accompanying lifestyle apparel. Thanks to @marto_m3.

The centerpiece of the collection is a full-zip track jacket paired with matching track pants, styled in Boca Juniors' traditional blue and yellow with bold white paneling. The design utilizes oversized geometric blocks and angular three-stripe detailing reminiscent of classic 1990s teamwear, finished with the club crest on the left chest and retro Adidas branding along the raised collar.

This Boca Juniors release forms part of a wider push from Adidas reviving 1990s EQT designs across several top club partnerships. The complete collection, which will include the track jacket, pants, and matching t-shirts, is slated to hit official stores and retailers in the coming weeks.

Concept designer Chris Pottle has reimagined one of the most celebrated Predator boots of the 2010s with an intriguing twist: the adidas Predator adiPower FT. Taking the sleek silhouette of the 2011 Predator adiPower, the concept introduces an iconic fold-over tongue, seamlessly blending modern Predator trends with early-2010s nostalgia.

Originally launched in 2011, the original Predator adiPower marked a massive transition for the franchise by introducing a lightweight Sprintframe outsole and dropping the traditional fold-over tongue seen on legendary predecessors like the Mania and Powerswerve. The digital concept takes the striking forefoot strike zones, aggressive Three Stripes, and distinct heel counter of the adiPower and adds an elasticated fold-over tongue complete with classic adidas branding.

The digital renders showcase six colorways.

Belgian Challenger Pro League club Lommel SK have officially unveiled their new 26-27 away kit, made by Puma.

Portuguese club Académico de Viseu and technical partner Joma have officially revealed their new home and third kits for the 2026-27 campaign.

The Académico de Viseu 26-27 home shirt stays true to the club's iconic "Manto Negro" moniker, arriving in an all-black base adorned with a subtle tonal geometric weave pattern across the fabric. Crisp white accents appear on the overlapping V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and sponsor branding, giving the jersey a sharp, modern finish.

For the third kit, Joma and the club take direct inspiration from the region's famous Vinho do Dão wine heritage. Draped in an intense burgundy tone, the shirt features tonal horizontal gradient striping alongside contrasting white and black details on the collar and cuffs.

Images of an unreleased Beşiktaş 18-19 anthem jacket prototype have surfaced online via kit collector Kamil Berberler, providing an interesting behind-the-scenes look at how Adidas initially planned to integrate the club's third star. Under Turkish football regulations, teams earn a star for every five league titles, and Beşiktaş officially secured their 15th league championship at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.

Because the production timeline for the 17-18 season required apparel to be finalized before the league title was mathematically clinched, Adidas was forced to add the third star directly on top of the existing two stars in a triangular formation. The newly revealed 18-19 prototype reveals that Adidas originally planned to abandon the pyramid shape in favor of a clean, horizontal side-by-side arrangement of all three stars directly above the crest.

Beyond the star alignment, the prototype also features an older crest material. The sample was created using a traditional flock crest, whereas the final retail pieces and official kits for the 18-19 season transitioned to modern TPU badges. Ultimately, Beşiktaş retained the triangular star layout on official merchandise, making this jacket a rare glimpse at an alternate design direction.
