Gold Puma Menotti Star Boots Released
Nov 5, 2015, by Pat
Puma is bringing back one of its most iconic football boots, the Puma Menotti Star, a golden cleat that was originally launched in celebration of Argentina's 1978 World Cup win and is now available again in a modernized version.
César Luis Menotti coached the Argentine team at the 1978 World Cup and later went on to train the likes of FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, making a name for himself with his unique brand of attacking football and zonal defending. Enough of a name to be awarded a special golden football boot from Puma.
Puma Menotti Star - Gold / White
This is the stunning golden Puma Menotti Star soccer cleat.
Based on one of Puma's most prolific and iconic soccer cleats, the Puma Menotti Star boot remake boasts a classy golden leather upper, with bold white Puma brandings on both sides. The traditional tongue of the Puma Menotti Star cleats features more Puma logos, in black and green.
Closely following the original, the new Puma Menotti Star soccer boots come with an interesting stitching pattern in the forefoot area to improve fit and touch. Whereas the 1978 Puma Menotti Star had a classical six screw-in stud sole configuration, the 2015 remake boasts more than double that number, 13 conical studs to be exact.
The striking Puma Menotti Star cleats are now available as a limited edition.

Adidas Argentina Messi Farewell Kit Teased
Adidas and the Argentine Football Association have teased a special-edition commemorative jersey celebrating Lionel Messi for his final appearance with the national team. Following the announcement of his retirement from international duty after a legendary career spanning 207 caps and 125 goals, Messi is set to wear the bespoke design in his farewell match against Benin at the Estadio Monumental on October 6, 2026.
The unique kit departs from the traditional striping format, opting for a sky-blue base accented by a single broad white central stripe. Tonal rays inspired by the Sun of May radiate across the front and back of the torso. In a rare personal touch, Messi's signature 'M' logo replaces the traditional Adidas performance logo on the right chest in metallic gold, balanced by the gold-accented three-star Argentina crest on the left. The crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs are finished in black with sleek gold edging.
On the reverse, the shirt features gold 'MESSI 10' printing framed by the radiant sunburst motif, topped by a small Sun of May emblem just below the rear collar. Messi previewed the shirt on social media with the message "One last match... A jersey for a lifetime," offering a fitting tribute as he prepares to close his historic international chapter.
