Neymar Switches to Camouflaged Low-Cut Nike Hypervenom Boots
Oct 8, 2015, by Chris
FC Barcelona superstar Neymar has trained for the first time in a camouflaged version of the Nike Hypervenom Phinish Boots after he switched to the Squadron Blue Nike Mercurial Vapor X Boots more than two weeks ago.
On September 22, Nike Hypervenom cover star Neymar surprisingly switched to the Nike Mercurial Vapor 10 Lightning Storm Pack Cleats after he had worn the Nike Hypervenom Boots since the launch of the silo in May 2013. Before Nike launched the Nike Hypervenom Boots, Neymar was famous for wearing the Nike Mercurial since his very early days as a footballer.

Neymar's completely custom Hyper Grape Nike Hypervenom Boots are anything but the standard version of the Nike Hypervenom Phinish. Even though Neymar's Cleats boast the visual design of the Nike Hypervenom Lightning Storm Pack Boots, his boots are actual identical technically to the Nike Mercurial Vapor 10.
Nike Hypervenom Neymar Edition vs Nike Mercurial Vapor 10
A direct comparison between Neymar's completely custom Nike Hypervenom Boot and the his standard edition of the Squadron Blue Nike Mercurial Vapor makes it very clear that Nike created a hybrid of the Nike Hypervenom (design) and Nike Mercurial Vapor (construction).
Nike Hypervenom Neymar Edition vs standard Nike Hypervenom Phinish
Let's compare the standard Nike Hypervenom with the camouflaged Nike Hypervenom Phinish Neymar Boots. Whereas the regular version of the Nike Hypervenom Phinish Boots features a remarkable upper structure with Flywire strings (worn by teammate Adriano), Neymar's Camouflaged Nike Hypervenom feature the smooth upper pattern of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 10.
It will be quite interesting to see if Neymar is satisfied with his low-cut camouflaged Nike Hypervenom Phinish Boots as he also laced up in the Nike Mercurial Vapor 10 Boots during today's training session. If so, it will be at least as exciting to see who will become the new cover athlete of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom Boots featuring the iconic but not essential Dynamic Fit collar.
Anything but a Nike Hypervenom Phinish. Do you think that Nike's endless effort to satisfy Neymar is successful this time? Let us know in the comments below.
Adidas Germany 2026 Farewell Kit Debuted on Pitch
Germany officially debuted their special edition Adidas farewell kit during their UEFA Nations League clash against the Netherlands. The release marks the final chapter of a legendary 72-year partnership between the German Football Association (DFB) and the Three Stripes, which began in 1954 and will officially come to an end on December 31, 2026, ahead of Nike taking over as technical supplier from 2027.
The tribute shirt features an elegant, predominantly black base decorated with vertical gold diamond pinstripes running down the front. Adidas has opted for the heritage Trefoil logo on the right chest alongside the classic DFB crest used between 1978 and 1996, both rendered in white. A retro-inspired crossover V-neck collar is trimmed in white and gold, mirrored on the sleeve cuffs, while a commemorative "1954" jock tag sits on the bottom hem to honor the historic year the partnership began.
Completed with black shorts and black socks featuring gold detailing, the on-pitch ensemble arrived just days after its official unveiling. Following its high-profile match debut, the Germany 2026 farewell jersey is scheduled to go on general sale via official Adidas channels starting September 26, 2026.

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.
