Neymar Laces Up In Nike Hypervenom 2 Boots
Brazilian superstar Neymar once again laced up in the unreleased next-gen Nike Hypervenom 2 Boots in training with FC Barcelona today, following the team's successful win over Athletic Bilbao the day before.
The totally-new Nike Hypervenom 2 Football Boots are set for a summer release and will come in orange and green colorways initially. A take-down model without the high-top finish will be available as well.

Neymar today trained in blackout Nike Hypervenom 2 cleats, which feature a completely new NikeSkin upper with Flywire strings and - for the first time - a high-top sockliner.The new dynamic fit collar technology, introduced by Nike in last year's Magista Obra and Mercurial Superfly IV launches, aims to provide a better connection between the boots and the feet of the player.
Interestingly, it appears Neymar tucked over the top of the sockliner, as we can see a glimpse of color at that part of the football shoes.
The Nike Hypervenom II will feature an outsole with conical studs, very similar to that of the original 2013 Hypervenom.
A number of key players including Adriano, Isco and Hachim Mastour have already tested the new Nike Hypervenom 2 football boots since January 2015.
Check out both the orange Nike Hypervenom 2 launch colorway and the green version, set for a later unveil.

Burnley Forced to Wear Ajax Socks in 26-27 Pre-Season Friendly
An unusual kit mishap occurred during the pre-season friendly between Ajax and Burnley at the Johan Cruyff Arena on July 26, 2026. Burnley lined up in their light blue Castore change kit for the match, but a kit color clash forced the English side into an unexpected equipment modification right before kickoff.
With Ajax wearing their traditional red and white home kit paired with white socks, Burnley's kit management only had white socks available, creating an obvious sock clash. To allow the match to proceed smoothly, Ajax came to the rescue by lending Burnley a set of their dark blue Adidas socks.
Burnley players wore the dark blue Ajax socks throughout the match, with many players cutting off the lower foot section to wear them as sleeves over their white grip socks. Consequently, the Ajax branding and Adidas logo were clearly visible on the legs of Burnley's players during the game, which eventually ended in a 2-1 win for Ajax.

Slovan Bratislava 26-27 'Heart of Bratislava' Kit Released
Slovak champions ŠK Slovan Bratislava have officially unveiled their new 26-27 kit made by Adidas, dubbed the 'Heart of Bratislava' (Srdce Bratislavy). The design blends club identity with key historical symbols of the Slovakian capital.
The kit comes in a royal blue base highlighted by gold details, including the iconic Adidas three stripes on the shoulders, gold main sponsor branding, and gold player names and numbers on the back. The choice of gold pays homage to Bratislava's coronation history as the official crowning city for Hungarian monarchs over nearly three centuries.
Several bespoke elements are incorporated directly into the fabric. The lower front features an embossed graphic of the iconic Bratislava Castle, while a subtle atmospheric graphic pattern across the upper front represents the Danube River flowing through the heart of the city.
