Schweinsteiger Reveals Custom Adidas X Boots
Jun 9, 2015, by Chris
German midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is set to debut a customized version of the new Adidas X 15 Leather Soccer Cleats in tomorrow's friendly against United States.
Update 10/06/2015: Close-up pictures of the Adidas Schweinsteiger Boots reveal more details (thanks to Nico Satria Pratama). In fact, Bastian Schweinsteiger is wearing an Adidas F50 Adizero Leather Boot which features just the visual design of the Adidas X 15.
In fact, Bastian Schweinsteiger had been previously wearing the Adidas F50 Adizero 2014 Cleats for several month, while he didn't switch to the 2015 Adidas F50 Adizero Boots. It now looks like that Schweinsteiger will sport a customized version of the new Adidas X 15 Leather Boots.

The Solar Yellow Adidas x 15 Bastian Schweinsteiger Cleats boast the design of totally new Adidas X 15 Cleats, while featuring various custom modifications for the Bayern Munich legend.
The Adidas X 15 Bastian Schweinsteiger Cleats feature a Kangaroo leather upper in the touch area as Bastian Schweinsteiger prefers a leather upper to synthetic materials. While the regular version of the Adidas X 15.1 Leather Boots just features Kangaroo leather in the forefoot area, the custom Adidas X Schweinsteiger is almost entirely made from leather.
Naturally very noticeable is the sole plate of Bastian Schweinsteiger's Adidas X 2015-2016 Boots. The modified Adidas Schweinsteiger Boots feature the Sprintframe sole plate of the 2014 Adidas F50 Adizero Boots. Therefore, the Adidas Performance logo the heel area is far smaller than usual.
The Serbian flag and the Serbian lettering "dušo" (that translates to dušo) are printed on the upper of the new Schweinsteiger Boots, a nod to his girlfriend and tennis player Ana Ivanovic.
It's a good sign for Adidas that their players switch to the new Adidas 2015-2016 Boots, albeit receiving customized boots. We are curious to see if players such as Toni Kroos will switch to the Adidas Ace Leather Boots, or will continue to wear his beloved white Adidas Adipure 11pro 2014 Boots.
Watch out for Schweinsteiger's boots in the friendly against United States on June 10.

Nottingham Forest Announce Marex Front-of-Shirt Sponsorship Deal
Nottingham Forest have officially announced a multi-year Principal Partnership with global financial services platform Marex. Starting with the 26-27 season, Marex will serve as the club's new front-of-shirt sponsor, replacing gambling brand Bally's. The agreement is reported to be worth approximately £25 million over a three-year period.
The clean Marex wordmark and arrow logo will be featured across the front of the Nottingham Forest men's and women's first-team playing and replica kits, as well as the club's netball team dresses. In addition to primary kit placement, Marex will become Forest's official Global Markets Partner and exclusive provider of foreign exchange and financial services.
The announcement resolves Forest's search for a principal partner just ahead of the new Premier League campaign, following a pre-season without a front-of-shirt sponsor. The transition also aligns with the Premier League's upcoming voluntary ban on gambling companies occupying front-of-shirt sponsorship inventory.
