Next-Gen Adidas Gloro 2016 Boots Released
Dec 3, 2015, by Chris
The next-generation Adidas Gloro 2016 Football Boots introduce a brand-new design for Adidas' modern Heritage Boot. Released on 2 December 2015, the second generation of the Adidas Gloro Soccer Cleats were launched in four different paint jobs initially.
On March 1 2015, Adidas introduced the first-ever Adidas Gloro Soccer Cleats. Designed to offer players a high-quality football boot with a classic Adidas design, the Adidas Gloro 2015 Boots were launched in six colorways to become an instant classic.
Adidas Gloro 2016 Football Boot
This is the red launch colorway of the Adidas Gloro Soccer Boots.
The most remarkable colorway of the next-gen Adidas Gloro 16.1 FG Football Shoes combines the classic main color black with silver Three Stripes and a Multicolor sole plate to make a bold statement. The second striking paint job of the Adidas Gloro 2016 Boots boasts the main color Vivid Red, combined with classic white and black applications and brandings.
It's only logical that Adidas also offers players two classic colorways. The Black / White Adidas Gloro Football Boots are anything but striking, while the White / Black Adidas Gloro 16.1 Football Boots feature a clean design.
Tech-wise, it's eye-catching that Adidas removed the classic fold-over tongue, which was the most remarkable feature of the first-generation Adidas Gloro Soccer Boots. But the Adidas Gloro Boots have undergone more changes that don't immediately catch the eye.
It's the first time that the Adidas Gloro Soccer Boots feature a bespoke sole plate after the first-generation used the outsole of the by then discontinued Adidas Adipure 11pro Boots.
The upper of the Adidas Gloro Boots has also undergone some changes to create a more modern design. Adidas removed almost completely removed classical stitching of the
Adidas Gloro 2015 Boots so only necessary stitching remained for the Adidas Gloro 16.1 Cleats.
All in all, the changes give the Adidas Gloro Boots a brand-new direction. While the first-generation was inspired by the classic Adidas Boots such as the Adidas Predator Mania 2002 World Cup Boots, the Adidas Gloro 16.1 Football Boots is kind of a successor of the Adidas Adipure 11pro Boots, which was discontinued in May 2015.
The Adidas Gloro 16.1 FG Soccer Cleat retails at a price of 100 Euro (80 GBP, 100 USD) and are available from early December 2015 at selected retailers.

The jersey captures the unmistakable look of the early 1990s, when the Clippers competed in the Canadian Soccer League. Styled in a vibrant emerald green base, the shirt is adorned with an all-over chevron jacquard pattern, complemented by a thick white crossover V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs. Completing the throwback design is the original Nova Scotia Clippers emblem on the chest alongside Hummel's logo, paired with local brewery Alexander Keith's and its signature stag crest across the front.

Puma Bahia 26-27 Third Kit Released
Puma and Brazilian side Esporte Clube Bahia have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 campaign. Built around the theme "O Brasil sempre esteve aqui" (Brazil was always here), the jersey was developed in direct collaboration with FINPAT, the Indigenous Federation of the Pataxó and Tupinambá Nations of Far Southern Bahia, placing indigenous heritage and voices at the forefront of the design and release.
The Puma EC Bahia 26-27 third shirt combines a deep blue base with a tonal geometric pattern on the front inspired by traditional Pataxó necklaces. Gold detailing accents the V-neck collar, side panels, Puma cat logos, and a monochromatic Bahia crest. The contrasting shades carry symbolic meaning: blue represents the ocean and waters that are central to the Pataxó people, while gold references Tawá (yellow clay) and the ancestral riches of the land.
A special graphic sign-off reading "O Brasil sempre esteve aqui" is printed in gold on the upper back just below the collar. The kit is set to make its on-pitch debut in the Campeonato Brasileiro fixture against Remo at Arena Fonte Nova.

The new Bahrain 2026 primary jersey is based on the standard Adidas Tiro 26 Competition template, with only the crest added.
It arrives in traditional vibrant red, accented by white detailing on the ribbed collar, lower hem trim, and the iconic Three Stripes running down the shoulders. A textured performance fabric carries the modern Bahrain FA crest on the left chest and the white Adidas logo on the right, while the reverse side features 'البحرين' in Arabic script situated directly above bold white 'BAHRAIN' block lettering. Set to make its on-pitch debut at the 27th Arabian Gulf Cup, the shirt was unveiled alongside traditional Bahraini textile and weaving loom motifs celebrating the country's craft heritage.
Santos 26-27 Third Kit Released
Santos FC and Umbro have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Taking inspiration from the iconic 1997 campaign, the new jersey pays tribute to a defining era in Peixe history while celebrating the unwavering resilience, spirit, and dedication of the club's fanbase.
The Umbro Santos 2026-27 third shirt is black and features a subtle jacquard weave alternating between matte and glossy finishes across the fabric. A 1997-inspired retro collar incorporates white trim with striped detailing, complemented by white piping along the raglan shoulder seams. The chest displays an updated rendition of the 1997 club crest alongside Umbro's classic double diamond branding.
Completing the bespoke design are dedicated details paying homage to the supporters, notably the phrase "Resiliência e determinação" on the back of the neck and a lower hem tag inscribed with the popular terrace chant "Vai com determinação". Set to be worn with matching black shorts and black socks, the kit makes its official match debut against Cruzeiro at the Vila Belmiro.
FC Utrecht 26-27 Third Kit Released
Castore and FC Utrecht have officially launched the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. To mark the unveiling, the Dutch outfit teamed up with local Utrecht graffiti artists, who created a custom mural on an urban brick canvas to emphasize the club's deep roots and street culture within the city.
The Castore FC Utrecht 26-27 third jersey delivers a clean look centered around a white base. Vibrant royal blue and bright orange accents bring life to the design, detailing the v-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and side panels. A monochrome orange rendition of the club crest sits on the chest alongside the Castore logo, with sponsor lettering finished in bold blue.
White shorts and white socks with matching blue and orange trim complete the kit. The new third uniform is scheduled to make its on-pitch debut on September 13 in Utrecht's Eredivisie away fixture against Excelsior, and is now available through the club's official online store.
Real Valladolid 26-27 Third Kit Released
Real Valladolid and new technical partner Reebok have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Completing the team's wardrobe alongside their recently debuted home and away strips, the fresh look departs from traditional purple in favor of an elegant white and soft pink colorway.
The Reebok Real Valladolid 26-27 third jersey is predominantly white, complemented by pastel pink on the classic collar, sleeve cuffs, side panels, and manufacturer branding. The graphics embedded along the panels feature subtle wave and ripple patterns inspired by the numerous rivers running through the province of Valladolid, such as the Pisuerga and Duero. Furthermore, the prominent pink hue pays tribute to the Vallkirias dragon boat team, honoring their inspiring message of recovery and solidarity with breast cancer survivors.
Adidas Messi Special-Edition Argentina Kit Leaked - 2 New Images
We have new images of the special-edition Adidas Lionel Messi Argentina kit, showing the design produced with authentic Climacool+ specifications. However, the jersey in the pictures is a counterfeit. Fakers have moved quickly to manufacture physical shirts that replicate Adidas' latest top-tier player-issue template based on earlier replica/fan leaks of the signature design. Following Messi's international retirement after the 2026 World Cup, it remains to be seen what Adidas will ultimately do with the official rollout of the special-edition Messi kit and accompanying collection, and if it will be available as authentic and worn in a match.
