Varane Trains in Next-Gen Nike Tiempo Legend 6 Boots
Aug 28, 2015, by Chris
Real Madrid defender Raphaël Varane has become the second player to train in blackout Nike Tiempo Legend 6 2016 Prototype Soccer Cleats after Dani Carvajal already laced up in the next-gen Nike Tiempo Legend Boots some months ago.
In fact, Varane's teammate Dani Carvajal trained in blackout Nike Tiempo Legend VI Prototype Boots in April 2014. Dani Carvajal revealed various details of the upcoming Nike Tiempo Legend Cleats, while we now finally get a second look at the black-out Nike Tiempo Legend 6 Prototype Cleats.
Raphaël Varane trains in blackout Nike Tiempo Legend VI Boots
Close-up pictures of the blackout Nike Tiempo Legend 6 Varane Boots.
Raphaël Varane definitely wears the same boot as Dani Carvajal, even though the blackout look is designed to hide the final boot design. The Nike Tiempo Legend VI Raphaël Varane Prototype Cleats feature a big Swoosh on the outstep, while the instep comes with a smaller Swoosh.
Featuring a super soft Kangaroo leather in the upper, the next-gen Nike Tiempo Legend 6 Boots ditches the traditional stitching of leather boots and introduces an all-new support skeleton. The xray skeleton is made for a consisting fit.
While there is basically nothing new about the upper, the French defender gives us the first closer look at the sole plate of the boot. The Nike Tiempo Legend VI Cleats feature a mixture of conical studs and triangular studs in the heel area - it's almost identical to the current outsole of the cleats. For more stability, Nike introduces a new external heel counter for more stability.
Interestingly, Raphaël Varane usually wears the low-cut Nike Magista Opus Boots. It now looks like that the central back will switch to the Nike Tiempo Legend 6 Boots, which are set to be released in December 2015.

J.League x Pokémon: 60 Clubs, 60 Pokémon
The J.League has announced one of its most creative collaboration yet, teaming up with Pokémon for the 'Pokémon J.League Fest 'EVOLUTION!'' campaign ahead of the 2026-27 season.
All 60 clubs across J1, J2 and J3 have been paired with their own Pokémon, with the campaign following each Pokémon's evolution throughout the season across official artwork, graphics and promotional content.
The collaboration also celebrates 30 years of Pokémon (1996-2026) while building excitement for the new J.League campaign, which kicks off on 7 August.
Fans attending matches will receive one of one million exclusive EVO BAGs, each featuring Pikachu alongside the home club's partner Pokémon.
This isn't the first crossover between the two either. Back in 2014, the J.League and Pokémon launched the Family Join Days campaign, where young supporters received exclusive Pikachu trading cards at stadiums.
If your favorite club could be paired with any Pokémon, which one would you choose? Let us know in the comments below.
Hoffenheim Call Out Twitter Accounts Promoting Fake Kits
German club TSG Hoffenheim has taken a humorous approach to address a growing trend on social media involving the promotion of counterfeit football shirts. The club's official account posted a sarcastic message mimicking the exact language used by accounts that advertise fake kits. The post claimed to have found a really cool site for authentic shirts of top quality and insisted the endorsement was entirely voluntary, before directing users to a link in the replies.
Instead of linking to a counterfeit retailer, Hoffenheim's reply simply provided the URL to their official club shop. The joke directly targets a widespread practice on social media where various football-focused accounts promote unauthorized replica stores. In exchange for posting these scripted advertisements, the account owners typically receive a small number of free fake kits, valued at around 35 Euros, rather than monetary compensation.
