Dani Alves to Rejoin Nike?
Aug 11, 2015, by Chris
Pretty in pink. Dani Alves is set to debut the bold Hyper Pink Nike Mercurial Vapor X Lightning Storm Pack Cleats in today's UEFA Super Cup Final against Sevilla after he had worn various different boots in the past months.
The Brazil international laced up several different colorways of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 10 Cleats, and also trained in the Adidas X 2015-2016 Boots ahead of the UEFA Champions League Final in late May 2015 fueling rumors that he could return to Adidas.

Dani Alves returned to pre-season training wearing the Wolf Grey Nike Mercurial Vapor 10 Silver Strom Pack Soccer Boots, while he switched to the pink Nike Mercurial Vapor Cleats in Barcelona's last training session.
Dani Alves is wearing the latest Nike Mercurial Vapor Boots Colorways. In other words, this is a clear indication that Dani Alves joined Nike.
Dani Alves wears a non-modified version of the Nike Mercurial Vapor Cleats. Made for ultimate speed, the Nike Mercurial Vapor 10 Boots feature a tongue-less design and a super thin Teijin upper to create a lockdown fit. The micro-texture upper of the Hyper Pink Nike Mercurial Vapor Lightning Storm Pack Football Boots comes with Nike's ACC technology for ball control in both wet and dry conditions.
Dani Alves was famous for wearing blackout and old football boots including the Adidas F50 Adizero Yamamoto Boots, but it now looks like that Barcelona's right-back rejoined the Swoosh.
We will miss Dani Alves' unique boots, and the important indicators leave little room for our hope that Dani Alves didn't joined Nike.
FUS Rabat 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Moroccan Botola Pro side FUS Rabat has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, manufactured by Spanish brand Joma. The capital club steps into the new campaign with a coordinated and sharp visual identity across both strips.
The Joma FUS Rabat 26-27 home shirt is predominantly red, anchored by a prominent central white stripe that runs down the body, broken only for the main sponsor. The fabric features an understated tonal texture throughout, accompanied by a clean white crew neck collar. Inverting the look, the 26-27 away shirt relies on a clean white base centered around a bold red vertical stripe and matching red accents.
Both jerseys carry the traditional FUS Rabat crest on the left chest, with Novec Groupe CDG and Cosumar featured as shirt sponsors. The away kit also includes neat Arabic calligraphy spelling out "Rabat" on the upper back above the player names and numbers. Matching shorts and socks complete the Moroccan club's new 26-27 wardrobe.
Sam Kerr Debuts Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Signature Boots
Sam Kerr has officially given her new Nike Mercurial signature boots their on-pitch debut, stepping out for Gotham FC in the vibrant design. Following Nike's official launch of the pair on September 21, 2026, the Australian forward wasted no time lacing them up for competitive action. Kerr took to the pitch wearing her preferred low-cut iteration of the silhouette, continuing her longstanding preference for low collars over the high dynamic fit collar.
This boot follows Kerr's debut signature Mercurial from 2025, which took inspiration from the coastal beaches of her hometown Perth.
Croatia Debuts Adidas 26-27 Away Kit
Croatia officially kicked off its new era with Adidas on Saturday night, debuting the 26-27 away kit during a 2-1 UEFA Nations League victory against Czechia in Prague. The match marked the first on-pitch appearance for the Vatreni in the three stripes following the conclusion of their 26-year partnership with Nike this summer.
The new Croatia 26-27 away strip is predominantly deep blue and features an intricate tonal graphic inspired by the country's centuries-old lacemaking heritage from regions such as Pag and Lepoglava. The textured pattern is complemented by vibrant coral red accents across the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and shoulder stripes, while the chest features a clean white Trefoil logo opposite the federation crest.
Completed with matching deep blue shorts and socks, the kit looked sharp on the pitch and has earned praise from supporters for its blend of cultural motifs and modern detailing.
