Christoph Kramer's Odd Boot Combo
Oct 25, 2015, by Chris
This is anything but ordinary. German international and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Christoph Kramer laced up in a one-of-a-kind boot combination in the Bundesliga match against Hamburger SV last weekend. Let's take a closer look at the two entirely different boots worn by Kramer.
Christoph Kramer had been wearing the Adidas X Leather Boots since the start of the pre-season before he switched to the leather version of the Adidas Ace Soccer Cleats ahead of the Champions League clash against Barcelona in late September. And while he had worn the Adidas Ace leather boots for just two weeks, he entered Hamburg's Volksparkstadion last week wearing an odd boot combo.

Christoph Kramer used the Solar Red Adidas Ace 15.1 Leather Boots for his right foot, while he used the leather version of the Solar Yellow Adidas X 15.1 for his left boot. It's a boot combo that stands out on every pitch.
And even though both boots worn by Christoph Kramer feature an entirely different design, they're actually pretty similar. Each boot comes with a super soft Kangaroo leather in the forefoot area with traditional stitching for ball control in any weather conditions, and a traditional low-cut ankle design. However, it can't be perfect to wear two different boots with a different construction. So something had to happen.
It was no surprise that Christoph Kramer laced up in a regular boot combo in the following match against Italian side AS Roma. But as you might expected that he would rather lace up in one of his previous boots, the midfielder switched to the knitted Adidas Ace 15+ Primeknit Cleats in the remarkable Champions League clash that ended in a spectacular 4-4 tie.
Have you ever worn two completely different boots in a match? Let us know in the comments below, and watch out for Kramer's Boots in the following matches. It's gonna be interesting.
FC Barcelona 26-27 Sant Jordi Fourth Kit Leaked in Real Life
New real-life images of FC Barcelona's upcoming 26-27 special fourth kit have been shared by michaelemilio_, providing the best look yet at the physical jersey. Dedicated to Sant Jordi (Saint George), the patron saint of Catalonia, the shirt breaks away from the club's traditional yellow Senyera designs in favor of an elegant flat opal and light beige base, dominated by a large maroon St. George's cross across the torso.
Inside the collar sits a printed maroon rose emblem, the historic symbol of the Diada de Sant Jordi, accompanied by a small Catalan flag detail at the back of the neck. The leaked shirt is printed with young midfielder Xavi Espart's name and squad number 36 in navy with red outlines.
The complete uniform will be paired with dark navy shorts and socks. As standard for FC Barcelona's cup competitions and European fixtures, the jersey will feature the club's custom cup lettering rather than the standardized La Liga font.
The Nike FC Barcelona 26-27 Sant Jordi fourth kit capsule is scheduled to officially launch in January 2027.
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.

The Puma Stade de Reims 26-27 third jersey is predominantly black, accented by curved light grey brush-stroke graphics across the body that resemble skid marks on asphalt.

The new third kit is available through the club's official webshop.
