Robin van Persie to Return to Adidas?
Robin van Persie could return to being an official Adidas athlete after a year wearing unbranded Adidas F50 Adizero Leather Boots. The new Fenerbahce player was recently spotted in training wearing his heavily modified Adidas Adizero Boots from last year's World Cup.
Having been an Adidas player for his entire career since the start at Feyenoord, Robin van Persie's contract with Adidas was up after the 2013-14 season and it seems the two parties could not agree on terms to continue together back then.
Robin van Persie Trains in Adidas F50 Adizero Boots
Robin van Persie is seen wearing branded Adidas Boots in training for Fenerbahce.
Combining the soleplate of van Persie's previous 2011 Adidas adiPower Boots and the upper of the very popular 2013 Adidas F50 Adidas Leather Boots, Robin van Persie's cleats were camouflaged by Adidas to look like the 2014 Adidas Adizero. In a similar move, Adidas athletes Bastian Schweinsteiger and Theo Walcott got their 2014 Adidas F50 Adizero Boots customized to look like the new Adidas X.
One year later, Adidas has released the last-ever generation of the Adidas Adizero as well as its revolutionary successor, the Adidas X. Could we see Robin van Persie in camouflaged Adidas X Football Boots shortly? His recent switch back to regularly branded Adidas Adizero Cleats suggests that a return to Adidas is on the cards.
Another possible explanation could be that van Persie's new team, Fenerbahce, is equipped by Adidas and the switch back to branded boots could have been part of that deal.

Harrogate Town 26-27 Home Kit Released
Harrogate Town has officially revealed its new home kit for the 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor New Balance, the latest primary strip offers a bold and modern twist on the club's traditional yellow and black colors. Following the recent reveal of their striking geometric away jersey, this home release confirms that New Balance is committed to delivering highly bespoke and eye-catching designs for the North Yorkshire side's upcoming campaign.
The New Balance Harrogate Town 26-27 home shirt features a vibrant yellow base, anchored by thick black vertical stripes across the front of the torso. However, instead of traditional solid bands, these stripes are executed with a modern, pixelated halftone gradient effect that fades heavily around the midsection to seamlessly accommodate the black "envirovent" sponsor logo. To ensure a cohesive and sharp aesthetic, the New Balance manufacturer logo and the official club crest are both applied in a sleek black and yellow monochrome finish.
The launch completes the team's set for 2026-2027.
