Chelsea Youngster Kenedy Trains in Blackout Adidas Messi Boots
They look awesome in blackout. Brazilian youngster Kenedy trained in blackout Adidas Messi 2015-2016 Cleats ahead of his Chelsea debut last Saturday.
The 19-year old forward Kenedy made his debut for the West London club on Saturday after he was subbed on for César Azpilicueta wearing the Solar Yellow Adidas X 2015-2016 Boots, while he laced up in a classy pair of blackout Adidas Messi Boots last week. Let's take a closer look at Kenedy's Boots.

Kenedy's Blackout Adidas Messi Boots feature a understated look without any pop of color. The upper and the sole plate of the Adidas Messi Blackout Football Boots are completely blacked-out to hide any Messi and Adidas brandings - class.
Compared to the launch colorway of the Adidas Messi 15.1 Boots, we definitely prefer the stealth look of the black-out Adidas Messi 15.1 Boots. Unfortunately, it's not possible to customize the Adidas Messi 2015-2016 Cleats using Adidas customization service miadidas, so it's impossible to recreate the stealth look.
Another player who laced up in the unbranded Adidas Messi 15.1 Boots is LA Galaxy homegrown player Gyasi Zardes, who even gave the boots an on-pitch debut.
We'll never see Messi wearing the classic black Adidas Messi 15.1 Boots in an official match. Let us know what you think of the blackout Adidas Messi 15.1 Boots in the comments below, and also check out the new white / blue Adidas Messi 2015-2016 Boots.

Como 1907 Announce Kit Design Contest
Italian club Como 1907 has launched a new design contest, inviting fans and designers to create a new look for the team. While the official announcement asked supporters to design a t-shirt for Como, it is likely that the club is referring to a football kit, given the context of the post and the reactions from the fanbase.
The club has kept the instructions incredibly open, stating there is no brief, no rules, and no excuses. To enter the competition, fans simply need to create their design, post it on Instagram, and tag the official Como 1907 account.
The announcement has already sparked significant interest online, with numerous supporters sharing their concepts and ideas. Whether the winning design will be produced as an official match kit, a pre-match shirt, or a special edition lifestyle item remains to be seen, but it offers a unique opportunity for fans to leave their mark on the club's visual identity.
FIFA Denies Guillermo Ochoa 2026 World Cup Legacy Patch Over Appearance Rules
Guillermo Ochoa has been denied the chance to wear FIFA's new legacy patch at the 2026 World Cup. Despite being selected for six World Cup tournaments spanning from 2006 to 2026, the Mexican goalkeeper does not meet the strict criteria set by FIFA. The governing body requires players to have made on-pitch appearances in at least five different World Cups to qualify for the special badge.
Ochoa did not play any minutes during the 2006 and 2010 tournaments, meaning he has only registered on-pitch appearances in three World Cups prior to the 2026 edition. Because of this, FIFA officially refused to award him the patch. Other veterans playing in the tournament, such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, Manuel Neuer, and Yuto Nagatomo, have received the legacy patch for meeting the five-tournament appearance threshold.
The Mexican Football Federation is reportedly planning to push for a reconsideration of the ruling. If Ochoa features in a match during the 2026 tournament, the federation intends to appeal FIFA's decision in hopes of securing the legacy patch for the veteran goalkeeper.

The goalkeeper kits complete the collection in red and yellow colorways. The Puma Yokohama FC 2026-27 kits are available to purchase via the club's online store.
