Next-Gen Adidas X 2016 Prototype Boots Leaked
Sep 17, 2015, by Chris
New picture leaked (17/09/15). The new blackout Adidas X 16.1 Soccer Cleats give us the first closer look at the next-generation of the Adidas X. Even though the new Adidas X 16.1 Boots won't be released until May 2016, a third picture of a blackout prototype boot has been leaked today.
In fact, Thomas Müller laced up in the blackout Adidas X 2016 Prototype Boots in Bayern Munich's training session on August 18. The Bayern Munich striker has become the first player to wear the revolutionary Adidas X 2016 Cleats, even though Müller's Boot is slightly different to the leaked prototypes.
Blackout Adidas X 16.1 Prototype Boot
This is the first leaked picture of the new Adidas X 2016 Boots.
Although it's intended that the black-out look of the new Adidas X 2016 Boots hides the final boot design, we get an idea how the totally new Adidas X 16.1 Boot will look like. The upper of the Adidas X 16.1 Prototype features the date 04.09.2015, which indicates that the Adidas X 2016 Prototype Boots were produced in early April 2015.
The new Adidas X 16.1 Boot boasts a bold Adidas Performance logo on the outstep and a stealth graphic pattern on the upper. It's expected that the first colorways of the new Adidas X 16.1 Boots will come with eye-catching colors.
In the midfoot area of the new Adidas X 16.1 Boots are brand-new threads for more stability. Most remarkably, the Adidas X 2016 Boot features a higher techfit collar and no tongue, similar to the Nike Magista Obra and Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots.
After Thomas Müller laced up in the Adidas X 2016 Prototype Boots, we expect that the final version of the Adidas X 16.1 Boots will be very similar to the leaked prototype.
In late May 2015, we already revealed the first pictures of the totally new blackout Adidas Ace 16.1 Prototype Boots, which will introduce a brand new upper design with bold Three Stripes.

T90-Inspired Nike Barclays WSL 26-27 Ball Released
Nike and the Women's Super League have officially revealed the official match ball for the 26-27 Barclays WSL and WSL2 seasons. Built on Nike's Control ball model, the design draws heavy inspiration from Nike's iconic Total 90 era, bringing a retro-infused visual identity to top-tier English women's football.
The design features vibrant multi-coloured rings and graphic lines in red, pink, blue, and black against a white base. These accents are arranged to create a subtle strobe effect when spinning in flight, aiding visibility for players on the pitch. The Barclays WSL version features a gold Nike Swoosh inside the signature circular ring, while the WSL2 edition showcases a silver Swoosh paired with bright pink detailing.
Underneath the graphics, the ball utilizes Nike Control technology with debossed grooves and engineered paneling designed to deliver stable aerodynamics and consistent touch in all conditions. The new ball will be used across all 26-27 WSL, WSL2, and domestic cup matches.
