10 Classy Champions League Kit and Boot Combinations
Football Kits are rarely designed to match the colors of the boots. And while Adidas and Nike designed their 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup Boots and Kits to create a seamless transition between the uniform and the cleats with gradient socks, it's completely random if a club kit matches the colors of the boots.
While there were many kit and boot combinations in the Matchday 2 of the 2015-16 UEFA Champions League that were anything but classy, we've picked up 9 great combinations of football kits and boots while featuring one boot that hardly matches any kit design.
UEFA Champions League Kit and Boot Combos
Thomas Müller x Red Adidas X 15.1 Leather
Let's kick-off with one of the best kit and boot combos. FC Bayern Munich's 15-16 Home Kit features two tones of red to honor the famous nickname 'Die Roten' (that translates to 'The Reds'). In combination with the all-new Solar Red Adidas X 2015-2016 Leather Boots worn by German international Thomas Müller, it's only the slightly brighter color of the cleat that disrupts an almost perfect outfit.
Feghouli x Adidas Ace 15.1 Women's
We already featured Feghouli's special boot choice some weeks ago when the Valencia midfielder became the first player to wear the Women's version of the Adidas Ace Cleats. But that combination of Valencia's orange third kit, which was carried over from last season, and Feghouli's Boots couldn't be absent from our list.
Dante x Puma evoPOWER Tricks
We know that this it anything but a great combination. The striking green socks of VfL Wolfsburg's Kit, which were chosen instead of the usual white home kit socks to avoid a clash with Man Utd's Kit, in combination with the blue and orange Puma evoPOWER 2015-2016 Soccer Cleats looked odd. Even the photographer decided to take some close-up pictures of Dante's Boots. And that's rather unusual.
Granit Xhaka x Under Armour Speedform Leather
It's definitely the most classic look. Borussia Mönchengladbach's midfielder Granit Xhaka, who never wears anything else but black cleats, laced up in the black and white Under Armour Speedform Leather Boots which perfectly match Gladbach's 15-16 Champions League Kit.
Kevin de Bruyne x Nike Mercurial Superfly Electro Flare
There are two aspects that connect Kevin de Bruyne's Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots and Manchester City's 15-16 Third Kit. First: Even though the colors of the kits and the boots are not identical, the splatter graphic upper pattern is quite similar to the gradient design of the shorts. Second: The Volt accent color of the boots in combination with the Green Glow Shirt.
We could have chosen any Man City players wearing the Electro Flare Pack Boots, and Zabaleta's Black and Volt Nike Tiempo made likely an even better combo. But he was just subbed on in extra-time and had no ball contact at all..
Bilal Kisa x Adidas Nitrocharge
Bilal Kisa scored the first goal for Galatasaray against Astana wearing the old Adidas Nitrocharge Soccer Cleats, which were discontinued in May 2015 to make space for the all-new Adidas Ace and X Boots. That fact makes this combination something special.
Joshua Brenet x Nike Magista Obra Lightning Storm
It was the first time that PSV Eindhoven wore their stylish light blue and white European Kit. And as Joshua Brenet hasn't switched to the new Nike Electro Flare Pack Boots yet, his light blue Nike Magista Cleats matched the shirt almost perfectly.
Joe Hart x Nike Hypervenom Phantom
It was definitely the boldest kit and boot combo. Joe Hart laced up in the Hyper Grape Nike Hypervenom Phantom Boots of the Nike Electro Flare Pack Boots Collection while wearing Man City's purple goalkeeper shirt. He even got matching gloves to create a perfect boot and kit combo.
Jose Antonio Reyes x Red Adidas X
That combination was quite a surprise. Sevilla entered the pitch wearing a never-seen-before red fourth kit to avoid a kit clash with Juventus' white and black home shirt, and Reyes just got the perfect boots to match the special kit.
Nicklas Perdersen x Yellow Adidas X
We won't see these boots so frequent anymore. Gent's Danish forward Nicklas Pedersen laced up in the Solar Yellow Adidas X Boots while almost all high-profile Adidas athletes already switched to the Solar Red Adidas X 15-16 Boot Colorway. Pedersen's Boots are a perfect match with Gent's fluorescent yellow away shirt.
Special Mention - AS Roma 15-16 Third Kit
AS Roma's brand-new grey and black 15-16 Third Kit did not match any of the colorful boots made by Adidas and Nike. For use, it's time for the return of classic black boots, but there won't be any worn by high-profile players at least until the start of the 2016-17 season.
Some combinations are pure class. What's your favorite boot and kit combo? Let us know in the comments section below.
Nike Phantom 6 Haaland Chapter 5 Boots Revealed - Reactive Nike Hydra Upper
Through its partner stores, Nike has officially revealed Erling Haaland's fifth signature edition, the Nike Phantom 6 Haaland Chapter 5 from his Force of Nature collection. Finished in a Baltic Blue colorway with cloud-inspired graphics across the rear, the low-cut boot introduces Nike's Hydra treatment, which uses reactive white ink that vanishes when wet to uncover additional details of the graphic beneath. Engineered for lethal finishing in the 26-27 season, the boot combines a Gripknit upper with a Cyclone 360 soleplate and is scheduled to launch on October 1, 2026. Huge thanks to Pro Direct and Unisportsore for images and the video.
Fortuna Sittard 26-27 Cup Kit Released - Sponsorless 1957 Tribute
Dutch Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard and technical supplier Robey have officially revealed a special cup kit for the 26-27 campaign. Created in collaboration with design agency 51North, this release marks the very first dedicated cup kit in the club's history. It serves as a direct tribute to predecessor club Fortuna '54, who won the 1957 KNVB Beker with a memorable Bram Appel hat-trick against Feyenoord.
The Robey Fortuna Sittard 26-27 cup shirt faithfully revives the historic look with a white base highlighted by broad horizontal red and blue stripes across the chest, completing the Dutch tricolor. In true vintage fashion, the jersey comes with long sleeves as standard and features a retro polo collar. Club sponsors voluntarily stepped aside to allow a completely clean, sponsorless front, while the Robey branding and club badge are subtly embroidered in tonal white to maintain the authentic aesthetic.
Additional bespoke details round off the historic tribute. A heritage Fortuna '54 tag sits near the bottom hem, and an embroidered depiction of the KNVB Cup sits neatly below the back collar, added with official federation approval. The shirt is worn with matching white shorts and socks, completing a timeless look for Fortuna's cup run.
FIFA ASEAN Cup Features Same Left-Sleeve Kit Badge as in 2026 FIFA World Cup Final
The opening match between Laos and Brunei provided a full reveal of the sleeve patch pairing for the inaugural FIFA-organized Southeast Asian tournament.
Moving away from the previously expected navy blue, the official tournament patches feature a clean white base. Most notably, the "Football Unites the World" sleeve patch on the left arm is the exact same design that made a single, exclusive appearance at the recent World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.
Big thanks to @What The Kit for spotting and making the collage.
