Michael Bradley Joins Puma
Michael Bradley is seen wearing Puma evoSPEED 1.4 Cleats in the MLS match against the Chicago Fire.
Interestingly, Bradley opted to wear the more traditional Puma evoSPEED 1.4 Boots instead of the cutting-edge Puma evoSPEED SL Boots which only last up to ten games due to their extreme and lightweight construction.
Launched in summer 2015, the Puma evoSPEED 1.4 Boot features a new lightweight microfiber upper as well as a Speedframe base in the forefoot area. Contrary to the high-end Puma evoSPEED SL Cleats, the Puma evoSPEED 1.4 Boots come with a more low-key outsole, which is in fact the same already used for the previous generation of the Puma evoSPEED.
Do you think the Puma evoSPEED is a fitting boot for Michael Bradley? Let us know in the comments below.
MŠK Žilina 26-27 Home Kit Revealed
Slovak club MŠK Žilina's new 2026-27 home kit has been revealed, confirming their continued partnership with Nike. Teased earlier in July and fully unveiled by Slovak kit accounts on July 6, the new shirt introduces a bespoke design for the team, marking a notable shift from the modified catalog templates used in previous seasons.
The Nike MŠK Žilina 2026-27 home shirt features the club's traditional yellow base complemented by green accents. A standout detail is the green Nike Swoosh, which marks the first time the brand's logo has appeared in this color on a Žilina kit since 2013. Early feedback has praised the overall high quality and custom feel of the design, though some observers have noted that the secondary shade of yellow appears slightly too dark.

Désiré Doué Wears Both Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 and Superfly 11 Boots
French rising star Désiré Doué, has been frequently switching between the Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 and Superfly 11 boots over the past few weeks. Doué opted for the low-cut Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 for the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League final, but then surprised fans by starting the 2026 World Cup wearing the high-cut Superfly 11.
However, his stint with the Superfly 11 was short-lived, as Doué recently switched back to the Mercurial Vapor 17 for France's latest matches at the tournament. This indecision between the collared and non-collared versions of Nike's speed boot is notable for a player who is heavily featured in the brand's promotional campaigns. Doué has also been spotted wearing reissue Mercurial Vapor Superfly 1 boots recently, showcasing his affinity for the Mercurial heritage.
