Nike to end small-sided FC247 Boot Collection
Dec 22, 2014, by Chris
In Spring 2015, Nike will stop making the FC247 Collection, Nike's popular football boots collection designed for small-sided soccer games on different surfaces. Launched in March 2013, the Nike FC 247 Soccer Shoes Collection was designed for football anywhere and anytime.
Update 04/02/15: With the launch of the new Nike FootballX small-sided boots, it is confirmed that Nike will stop making the Bomba, Elastico and Lunargato Boots.
Nike ending its FC247 Boots Collection?
The Nike FC247 Football Shoes Collection includes three unique boots designed specifically for different surfaces. The first of them is the Bomba Finale II Boot, which features ACC (All Conditions Control) technology and a NikeSkin upper with conical studs designed for small-sided turf games.
The Nike Lunar Gato II Soccer Shoe uses a supple leather for the upper to improve the ball-to-foot feel, while it also reduces the break-in time. The Nike Lunar Gato II Boots are designed for fast small-sided street games.
In Summer 2014, Nike brought the revolutionary Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots to the small-sided football with the cutting-edge Nike Elastico Superfly Boots. The Dynamic Fit collar, the Flyknit upper and the tongue-less design of the Nike Elastico Superfly revolutionized small-sided games forever.
Nike will launch the first Indoor Magista Obra Boot
The extremely popular Nike Elastico Superfly Boots did overshadow the Nike Bomba Finale and the Nike Lunar Gato Soccer Boots. For the first time, Nike allowed players to choice between two different sole plate options for the Nike Elastico Football Shoes.
The Future of Nike's Small-Sided Football Boots
In March 2015, Nike will reveal the first Indoor and Turf versions of the Nike Magista Obra Boots. The new 2015 Nike Magista Indoor and Turf Soccer Shoes will feature the same technologies as the cutting-edge Magista Obra Cleats, made for ultimate ball control and a sock-like fit with a Dynamic Fit collar.

Similar to the Nike Elastico Superfly CR7 Boots, the new 2015 Nike Mercurial Superfly Indoor and Turf Boots will feature the same logo positioning as the Nike Mercurial Superfly Cleat and will be promoted as Nike Mercurial Indoor Soccer Boots.
Nike will step up their small-sided football boots game with two cutting-edge football boots from Spring 2015. It will also allow Nike to bring innovation from 11-a-side football boots to small-sided games faster than ever before.
SV Zulte Waregem 26-27 Third Kit Released - 25th Anniversary Design
Belgian side SV Zulte Waregem and kit supplier Patrick have officially released their new third kit for the 26-27 season. Celebrating the club's silver jubilee marking 25 years since their formation in 2001, Essevee swap out their traditional red, green, and white colours for an understated black and silver look dubbed "Memories worth a touch of silver."
The Patrick SV Zulte Waregem 26-27 third jersey features a black base detailed with thin vertical silver pinstripes down the front. A closer inspection reveals that the pinstripes incorporate handwritten script documenting key milestones and dates throughout the club's history, highlighting achievements such as their inaugural 2001-02 title and their memorable 2012-13 campaign as league runners-up.
Completing the anniversary aesthetic, the jersey is finished with a silver V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs. All branding—including the monochrome SV Zulte Waregem club crest, Patrick maker's marks, and primary sponsors iDocta and Elindus—appears in silver and white to match the unified commemorative design.
Napoli Wears Last Season's Shorts Against Inter - Here Is Why
In their Serie A clash against Inter at San Siro, SSC Napoli caught the attention of eagle-eyed Napoli kit expert @TutelaMagliaNA. For the 26-27 centenary season, EA7 designed two distinct pairs of white shorts: the home shorts carry the club's special centenary crest, while the away version features an alternate Mount Vesuvius-themed logo. Because the red jersey used the standard circular Napoli crest, pairing it with either of the 26-27 white shorts would have caused a clash of emblems on the same uniform.
Rather than producing a third set of white change shorts solely to carry the standard badge, Napoli simply reused their plain white match shorts from 25-26.
Benjamin Sesko’s Sleeve Badge Error
While all other Manchester United players took the pitch with league badges on both sleeves, Benjamin Šeško was spotted as the only one missing the patch on his left arm for reasons unknown.
