James Wilson Debuts Adidas Messi Boots
Oct 30, 2015, by Pat
Manchester United forward James Wilson, possibly the most well-known member of the 'Backed by Messi' initiative, finally debuted the name-giving Adidas Messi football boots, lacing up in the White / Prime Blue Adidas Messi 15.1 cleats launched in early September.
Honoring Leo Messi's status as the best football player of at least his generation, Adidas revealed the Adidas Messi 15.1 cleats earlier this year, making them the first-ever Adidas football boot silo wholly dedicated to a single player.
The Adidas Messi 2015 soccer cleats boast a synthetic upper with an eye-catching external cage, branded messiFRAME, to stabilize things around the heel. Additionally, they boast a pretty straightforward speed soleplate, making the Adidas Messi boots an excellent alternative for attacking players and a great fit for the selection of young stars backed in the Team Messi campaign.
They aren't a bad look, too, which is why it's great to see more players and promising talents sporting these unique boots, especially in a time where Messi himself is absent from the pitch due to injury.

Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.
