Arsenal's Mesut Özil is the latest star player to train in prototype Adidas boots in anticipation of the biggest football boot shakeup in Adidas history.
The pictures from today's Arsenal training give us the closest look yet at this new Adidas Prototype Cleats, which was already worn by the likes of Iker Casillas or Koke earlier this month.

Part of Adidas' totally new Summer 2015 Lineup, the boots worn by Özil today are expected to be more of a control silo, contrary to the already leaked Adidas X 15.1 and Messi 15.1 boots.
The new blackout Adidas Prototype Football Boots do not come with a dynamic fit collar structure, while boasting the three stripes prominently on both sides.

On the front of the Özil Adidas 2015 Prototype Boots, we can see a synthetic honeycomb-like pattern, which apparently is there to offer improved ball control, while the rear area offers heel support in the form of a stability counter.
Özil, who made the switch from Nike to the Three Stripes just weeks before his move to Arsenal in 2013, has been a Predator wearer since. This, plus the fact the other players testing these specific Adidas Prototype Soccer Boots so far all were members of the Predator and Nitrocharge contingents, points out Özil's blackout boots as likely successors to those models.
CD Numancia 26-27 Home, Away & Third Kits Released
Spanish club CD Numancia and their long-time technical sponsor Erreà have officially unveiled the club's new kits for the 2026-27 season. The launch celebrates a historic milestone, marking 20 years of uninterrupted partnership between the team and the Italian sportswear brand. To honor this two-decade collaboration, the new designs reinterpret the essence of the original kits from the 2006-07 season, when Erreà first began outfitting the Soria-based side.
The CD Numancia 2026-2027 home kit returns to the club's traditional deep red base with blue details, directly inspired by the 2006-07 template. It features a classic central shield placement, reviving a vintage aesthetic that defined the early days of the partnership. The away kit reverses this color scheme, utilizing a crisp white base with red and blue accents. Rounding out the set, the third kit introduces a clean black design with red and white elements that firmly connect to Numancia's identity.

Making his first-ever World Cup appearance, Luis Romo naturally had the honor of wearing the World Cup “Debut” Patch. Interestingly, however, he chose to attach it to his Tiempo Maestro boots rather than wear it on his shirt sleeve like most other players.
