Why the Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Boot is Not Really a Limited Edition
Is the revolutionary Adidas Primeknit 2.0 2015 Football Boot a rare collector's item? Not really. Even though the cutting-edge boot is part of the new Adidas 'Limited Collection' Soccer Cleats Pack, the new Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Boot won't become a lucrative business for resellers on eBay.
Limited to 10,000 pairs globally, the new Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Boot might be the least limited 'limited edition' boot release in awhile.
But what are the reasons for Adidas to label the Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Cleats as limited edition?
Adidas Primeknit 2.0 - Limited to 10,000 pairs globally
10,000 pairs of the Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Boots are available globally.
Let's start with a bit of history. In 2002, Nike patented the revolutionary Flyknit technology. Flyknit is an one-piece yarn upper that revolutionized the design of shoes forever offering a sock-like fit. Additionally, Flyknit also cuts labor costs and production time compared to traditional shoes, which are comprised from various elements.
In 2012, Adidas launched the first knitted Adidas Boots ever. The Adidas Primeknit running show was released with a limited run of 2,012 pairs at the London Olympics in July 2012.
Nike, who launched the Nike Flyknit in February 2012, filed an injunction against Adidas to stop promoting and selling the Adidas Primeknit shoe, which would be a copy of the Nike Flyknit. Even though a court in Nuremberg set the injunction aside, Adidas is still not allowed to launch a regular Primeknit release - and has only launched limited edition runs of Primeknit Boots yet.
The first Adidas Primeknit Football Boot (released in February 2014) was limited to 150 pairs globally, while the second colorway of the Adidas Primeknit Cleat was limited to 500 pairs globally. Meanwhile, Nike launched the knitted Nike Magista Obra and Nike Mercurial Superfly for the 2014 World Cup - and has likely sold million pairs of the boots since then.
The Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Boot is the next product of the Adidas Limited Collection Boots Pack, albeit Adidas are making 10,000 pairs of the boot, which retails at 220 GBP (300 Euro, 300 USD). The Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Limited Edition Boot will definitely not sell out within a few days.
The fact that Adidas is able to produce 10,000 pairs of the Adidas Primeknit 2.0 Boots shows that Adidas would be prepared to release a knitted boot in Summer 2015. But Adidas won't be able to launch a regular Adidas Primeknit Boot because of Nike's Flyknit patents. See all upcoming Adidas 2015-2016 Boots in our detailed article.

Awful? Adidas Launches Women's 'Reconstructed Bringback' 1994 Kits
Adidas has officially introduced a unique new lifestyle range with the launch of its 'Reconstructed Bringback' collection. Focused heavily on women's fashion, this latest release takes two iconic international football shirt designs from the 1990s and transforms them into modern, streetwear-ready silhouettes.
For this drop, the sportswear brand has completely reimagined the highly memorable 1994 kits worn by the national teams of Germany and Spain, adapting the classic patterns into entirely new apparel formats.
The Spain entry in the collection offers a significant structural departure from a standard football jersey, arriving as an asymmetrical, one-shoulder top. The garment maintains the classic red base of the original 1994 home shirt, complete with the instantly recognizable column of navy blue and yellow interlocking diamonds running down the right side.
For the German national team, Adidas has transformed the legendary 1994 World Cup home kit into a fitted, square-neck tank top. The classic DFB crest and retro Adidas branding are positioned lower down on the torso.

Derbystar Austrian Bundesliga 26-27 Match Ball Revealed
The Austrian ADMIRAL Bundesliga and technical partner Derbystar have officially unveiled the new official match ball for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. The new ball already made an early on-pitch debut last weekend during the crucial final round of the current campaign. Starting next season, the new design will be used uniformly across the top-flight ADMIRAL Bundesliga, the 2. Liga, and the Frauen-Bundesliga.
The Derbystar Austrian Bundesliga 26-27 match ball is heavily inspired by the ultimate goal of the domestic season: the championship trophy. Moving away from the vibrant magenta and turquoise of the previous campaign, the 26-27 ball features a classic black-and-white base enhanced by modern graphic applications.
The artwork intricately incorporates depictions of the trophies from all three participating leagues. Crucially, the design pays a special tribute to the iconic gold "Meisterteller" (Champions Plate), specifically celebrating the 50th anniversary of the famous trophy's first-ever presentation to the league winners back in 1977.
In addition to the standard primary match ball, Derbystar has also developed a vibrant High-Visible variant specifically designed for optimal tracking during poor weather or snowy winter conditions.
What do you think of this trophy-inspired black and white design for the new Austrian Bundesliga ball? Let us know in the comments below.
Decathlon Serie C 26-27 Ball Released
Lega Pro and sporting goods retailer Decathlon have officially presented the new Official Match Ball for the upcoming 2026-2027 Serie C season.
The Serie C 2026-2027 match ball boasts a very striking look, "inspired by the concept of energy, reflecting the intense passion and movement that characterizes the third tier of Italian football".
The highly refractive optical white base is decorated with dynamic, futuristic graphics featuring a chromatic texture that fades from cobalt blue to bright red, which is further highlighted by vibrant neon yellow accents.

Adidas Italy 1992 Retro T-Shirt Leaked
We can leak the first images of a new Adidas Italy retro lifestyle t-shirt.
As part of a wider Originals collection aimed at national teams, this new piece brings a strong 1990s aesthetic back to the modern era. The release highlights the German brand's continuing strategy of mining its extensive design archives to create bespoke, off-pitch apparel for its top-tier federations.
The Adidas Italy retro t-shirt features a clean, off-white base color that immediately establishes a classic throwback feel. Drawing direct inspiration from the colors of the Italian national flag, the shirt incorporates striking green, white and red geometric blocks.
Adding heavily to the nostalgic appeal, the chest displays a centralized logo arrangement, featuring a classic Adidas wordmark and Trefoil paired with a faithful recreation of the historic Italian Football Federation crest used throughout the early 1990s.
Other Adidas federations will get the same range in their colors.
Adidas Germany 'Alternate History' 1992 Retro Jacket Leaked
We have the first image of a unique new Adidas Germany retro jacket, showcasing an intriguing new approach from the sportswear brand.
While the design instantly evokes strong nostalgia for the 1990s, this upcoming release is actually an "alternate history" creation. Despite its highly authentic vintage appearance and period-accurate details, this specific track jacket never actually existed in the official Adidas catalogues during the 1990s, making it a brand new addition to their retro-focused lifestyle collection.
To achieve this convincing old-school aesthetic, Adidas has utilized their classic 1992 template as the structural foundation for the design. The garment features a vibrant green base that heavily nods to Germany's traditional away kits of the era. The colors of the German national flag are cleverly completed on the sleeves through large geometric blocks that also recreate the 3 stripes.
The same jacket will also be released for Spain and other Adidas national teams.
Jesse Lingard Wears 'J Lingz' on His Corinthians Kit
Former Manchester United and England midfielder Jesse Lingard yesterday night wore a unique name on the back of his shirt for his current club, Corinthians.
During the Brazilian side's Copa do Brasil clash against Barra FC, Lingard took to the pitch with his popular moniker, 'J Lingz', printed above his squad number. Rather than a permanent vanity choice by the 33-year-old, this unusual kit alteration was part of a coordinated, team-wide initiative where all Corinthians players swapped their traditional names for their recognizable nicknames.
The temporary name changes were implemented as part of a promotional campaign for Brazil's Generic Drug Day, which is officially celebrated on May 20th. Driven by pharmaceutical brand Hypera, the initiative aimed to highlight the importance and reliability of generic medications in public health. By replacing the players' standard names with their nicknames, the club and the sponsor sought to creatively demonstrate that even if the name on the back is different, the player - and by extension, the generic medication - delivers the exact same performance and effect.
Lingard joined the Brazilian giants in March following a stint in South Korea with FC Seoul.
