Juventus v Barcelona - Champions League Final Boot Preview
We are almost there. In just over 24 hours, Juventus and Barcelona will kick off the probably biggest match of the club season to determine the 2014-15 European champion. In a match of the probably best attack against one of the best defenses in Europe, excitement is guaranteed.
Anyway, this year's Champions League final is not only interesting in terms of tactics and skill, but also regarding football boots. The all-new Adidas Football Revolution (Adidas Ace, Messi and X) will see its on-pitch debut, just as the new Nike Silver Storm Pack with Wolf Grey paint jobs for all four Nike cleat silos.
Juventus Boot XI v Barcelona
This is the predicted Juventus football boot lineup against Barcelona.
Interestingly, ahead of a kit supplier switch to Adidas for the 2015-16 season, Juventus' boot lineup only includes one player of the 3 Stripes in Álvaro Morata. Nike dominates the Juventus Champions League final boot XI with eight players, while Puma sponsors two Juventus players.
Paul Pogba recently laced up in the custom white / black Nike Magista Obra boots he wore in the semi-finals against Real Madrid, but one would be a fool to rule out another surprise boot switch from the French center midfielder.
Barcelona Boot XI v Juventus
This is the expected Barcelona lineup and their respective soccer cleats.
Barcelona's lineup includes six Adidas and five Nike players, and most of them are set to debut the recently unveiled Adidas and Nike boot silos and colorways. Dani Alves is expected to wear Adidas X 15 boots after training in them this week, following a stint in Nike Mercurial Vapor X cleats.
In terms of interesting boot choices for Barcelona, Leo Messi and Neymar stand out with customized versions of the Adidas Messi 15 and Nike Hypervenom II lines they are headlining. Additionally, Jordi Alba, Rafinha and Martín Montoya were all seen training in the Adidas X 15 K-Leather cleat variant, an unusual choice.
Do you think both Adidas and Nike are well-represented in this Champions League final? What's your prediction? Let us know in the comments below.

Adidas & Kith Tease Special Messi 2026 World Cup Kit Collection
Ronnie Fieg, the founder and owner of the prominent fashion and streetwear brand Kith, has officially teased a new Adidas kit collection dedicated to Lionel Messi ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
The Adidas x Kith Messi kit collection is shaping up to be a massive tribute. Given that the 2026 World Cup will in all likelihood be Messi's final tournament as a player, the Three Stripes are going all out to honor their greatest player of all time.
Thus far, Fieg has previewed a rack of stunning co-branded jerseys. The standout of the teaser is a remake of the Argentina 2006 home kit - the exact template worn during the year of Messi's very first World Cup appearance.
Ronnie Fieg also reveals three additional bespoke shirts in dark navy, off-white/cream, and black.
Stunning Fortuna Köln 2026 Regional Cup Final Kit Released
German side SC Fortuna Köln has released a highly limited special-edition kit to wear during their upcoming 2026 Mittelrheinpokal final. Produced by Dutch sportswear brand Robey, this exclusive release celebrates the club's first appearance in the regional cup final in six years, as they look to secure the trophy for the first time in 13 years.
The Robey SC Fortuna Köln 2026 Cup Final shirt introduces a striking tri-color gradient design that provides a highly bespoke look for the occasion. The top of the jersey begins in a deep navy blue, smoothly fading into a vibrant light blue chest band before transitioning into a clean white lower half.
Adding a premium, historic touch to the kit, all application details - including the Robey manufacturer branding, the central 'HIT' sponsor, and a classic standalone 'F' retro crest - are executed in metallic gold. A subtle light blue V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs complete the sophisticated aesthetic.
Priced at €75, this exclusive release serves as a unique collector's item for supporters of the Regionalliga West side. Curiously, while releasing this kit, the club has actively pushed an "All in Red" (Alle in Rot) motto for the fans attending the match, asking supporters to create a sea of red in the stands despite the team wearing their special-edition colors on the pitch.
What are your thoughts on this striking gradient Cup Final kit by Robey? Let us know in the comments below.
Aston Villa to Wear Third Kit with Charity Sponsor in Europa League Final
Aston Villa has officially confirmed they will wear their 2025-2026 Adidas third kit for the upcoming UEFA Europa League Final against SC Freiburg in Istanbul.
The decision was made due to a direct kit clash with the German side's traditional all-red home strip, forcing the Premier League club out of their iconic claret and blue. Furthermore, due to strict betting licensing regulations in Turkey, the club's principal partner, Betano, cannot be legally displayed on the jerseys. In response, the space is used by the Aston Villa Foundation for the historic showpiece event.
This special-edition jersey also features the Aston Villa Foundation branding across the chest in matching purple typography, sitting just below a commemorative Match ID text that marks the May 20 final at Besiktas Park.
Recognizing the historical significance of this unique uniform, the club is making the charity edition available to the public. Supporters can purchase these limited-edition shirts, complete with the foundation branding and central match details, in both authentic and replica versions from official club stores.
This rare combination of an alternate kit, a one-off charity sponsor, and European final detailing instantly makes this release a highly sought-after piece for shirt collectors.
