Back in The Game? New Kappa Starch Boots Released
It caused quite a storm when we reported that the well-know Italian brand Kappa released an obvious copy of the famous Nike Magista Obra 2014 World Cup Boots, the Kappa Rattler. Let's try to restore Kappa's reputation.
In early September 2015, Kappa released the new Kappa Rattler Indoor Football Boots featuring a Dynamic Fit collar and a textile upper. But the Kappa Rattler Shoes are a disgraceful copy of the Nike Magista Obra Cleats, which was released in March 2014 ahead of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Let's take a closer look at the cutting-edge Kappa Starch Boots, which features a unique design.
Kappa Starch Boots FG Black / Orange Fluo / Light Blue
This is the Kappa Starch Football Boot.
Made for ultimate control and power, the Kappa Starch Soccer Cleats feature a ultra-thin (1.2 mm) soft synthetic microfiber upper and a traditional low-cut boot design. The instep of the Kappa Starch Boot comes with rubber elements for increased ball control and power in dry and wet conditions.
The Kappa Starch Football Boots features an asymmetrical lacing system to for a cleaner striking surface, similar to other Power Boots.
In fact, the concept of the Kappa Starch Boots reminds us of the Nike Total 90 Laser IV Boots, while the Kappa Starch Football Boots definitely feature an one-of-a-kind design with unique technologies to create a bespoke product.
The Kappa Starch Boots is black with the famous Omini logo on the outstep, while the instep boasts the light blue Kappa lettering in the rear area. Kappa combines the classic colors black and white with striking fluo orange and light blue details to add a modern twist.
The TPU sole plate of the Kappa Starch features a traditional design, made for Firm Ground surfaces. The black outsole of the Kappa Starch Boots has light blue and orange triangular studs.
The Kappa Starch Boot retails at a price of 159 Euro, which makes them almost as expensive as the top models from Adidas, Nike and Puma.
Unique design. What do you think of the Kappa Starch Boots? Let us know in the comments below.

Dorking Wanderers 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
English National League South side Dorking Wanderers have officially revealed their new home and away kits for the 2026-2027 season.
The new 26-27 home shirt introduces a classic and timeless design, stripping things back to a traditional aesthetic. It features bold red and white vertical stripes that draw inspiration from historic European football heritage. To complete the clean and authentic on-pitch look, the home jersey is perfectly paired with deep blue shorts and traditional white socks.
Following the launch of the primary strip, Dorking Wanderers also introduced their new 26-27 away kit, which delivers a much sharper and modern edge. This secondary jersey is defined by striking black and orange stripes, creating a strong contrast between dark and vibrant tones.
Notably, the club has thoughtfully replaced the betting sponsor with health and wellbeing partner Nuffield Health for all junior kits, while also actively reducing the price of youth shirts by £6 down to £39 to help younger fans afford their colors.

Special Goiás 2026 'Romaria' Kit Released
Brazilian side Goiás EC and technical sponsor Diadora have officially launched a special edition "Romaria" kit for the 2026 season. This unique jersey is designed to honor the deep-rooted faith and cultural traditions of the club's supporters, known as the Emerald Nation.
Tying heavily into the local religious pilgrimages that take place in the state of Goiás, the release operates under the fitting motto, "Faith is not explained. It is carried," successfully blending regional heritage with modern football apparel.
The design of the new Goiás 2026 Romaria shirt is anchored by an off-white base that is heavily detailed with an intricate, tonal graphic pattern. This all-over print features ornate filigree and religious iconography directly inspired by the Divino Pai Eterno (Divine Eternal Father), a central figure in the state's famous annual pilgrimage. To contrast the subtle background artwork, Diadora has applied its logo and the classic circular 'G' club crest in a sharp, dark green on the chest, while subtle gold piping accents the shoulder lines.
The most striking colorful details of the kit are reserved for the sleeve cuffs, which feature vibrant, tricolor bands of blue, green, and yellow. Upon closer inspection, these colored stripes are inscribed with repeating "Divino Pai Eterno" text, further cementing the jersey's homage to the region's spiritual traditions.
