Nike 2015-2016 Tech Craft Leather Boots Pack Released
The new Nike 2015 Tech Craft Leather Football Boots Pack brings Kangaroo leather to the Nike Hypervenom 2, Nike Magista and Nike Mercurial Boots. Officially released on 11 August 2015, the new Nike 2015-2016 Leather Soccer Cleats Pack is already a fan's favorite.
Nike's design team grew up wearing leather boots and retains high regard for the soft touch of the material. The team began exploring the potential of fusing leather to Nike's revolutionary synthetic football boots in 2014. The result is the Nike Tech Craft Leather Soccer Cleats Pack.
“Tech Craft encompasses our ‘no-compromise’ philosophy. Players don’t have to choose between materials like Flyknit and leather; they can have the benefits of both in one premium pair of boots.” – Nathan VanHook, Nike Football Senior Design Director.

This is the new Nike 2015-2016 Leather Boots Pack.
The first-ever Nike Leather Soccer Boots Collection combines the classic color black with the eye-catching colors of the Nike Silver Storm Collection, which are also used for the bold Nike 2015-2016 Lightning Storm Boots Collection. Featuring a half-and-half design, the heel area of the Nike Leather Boots is colorful, while the leather layer in the touch area is black.
The Black / Total Orange Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 Kangaroo Leather Cleat are the first-ever K-Leather Nike Hypervenom. The Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2 Leather Boots feature a Dynamic Fit collar, Flywire, All Conditions Control, NikeSkin and an extra layer of Kangaroo leather in the forefoot area.

The first-ever Nike Magista Obra K-Leather Cleat is the ultimate control boot featuring an extra layer of Kangaroo leather in the touch area, combined with all the technologies of the revolutionary Nike Magista Obra Soccer Cleat.
However, Nike also released a Nike Tiempo Legend V Cleat under the umbrella of the Nike Leather Boots Collection. The Black / Green Strike Nike Tiempo Legend V 2015-2016 Boots feature the same technologies as the regular Nike Tiempo Legend Cleat, which is Nike's only regular boot with a Kangaroo leather upper.
Made for ultimate control at high speed, the Black / Hyper Pink Nike Mercurial Superfly Leather Cleats are the most advanced leather boot ever. The Nike Mercurial Superfly K-Leather 2015 Cleat features a Dynamic Fit collar, NikeSkin, ACC and a carbon-fibre outsole, combined with an extra-layer of Kangaroo leather in the touch area for unrivalled control. Nike also released a Black / Pink Nike Mercurial Vapor X Kangaroo Leather Boot.
In fact, Nike also released their lower-tier models featuring the half-and-half design of the Nike Leather Boots Tech Craft Collection. While the second-best versions feature a leather upper material, the cheapest versions feature a synthetic upper.
The Nike Tech Craft Football Boots Collection is the most-advanced leather boot collection ever, set to be available from 13 August 2015 at selected retailers. Each boot of the Nike Tech Craft Leather Boots Pack is slightly more expensive than the synthetic version.

Good or Bad? Rexona Armpit Sponsorship on 2026 World Cup Referee Shirts
Update - Tuesday, June 23, 2026: Following our publication, Rexona contacted us to provide additional context on the activation.
According to Ben Curtis, Global Brand Vice President for Rexona at Unilever, the sponsorship is intended to highlight fourth officials, who "may not always be the focus of attention but are at the centre of some of football's most intense and anticipated moments," as part of Rexona's "It Won't Let You Down" campaign during the FIFA World Cup 2026. "They need to remain cool and calm under pressure - That's exactly why this partnership is such a natural fit for Rexona."
The 2026 World Cup referee shirts feature one of the most amusing and strategic sponsorship placements seen in football. Deodorant brand Rexona has their logo positioned directly under the armpits of the match officials' jerseys, creating a highly contextual advertising opportunity.
The Rexona logo remains largely hidden during regular play but becomes clearly visible whenever a referee raises their arms to signal a free kick, award a penalty, or issue a card. This placement perfectly matches the deodorant product being advertised, resulting in a memorable piece of marketing on the sport's biggest stage.
While this specific placement has caught the attention of fans during the 2026 tournament, it is not entirely unprecedented. A similar concept was previously executed in Brazil, where Avanço deodorant sponsored the armpits of Corinthians. However, Rexona's execution at a World Cup brings the clever concept to a massive global audience.
