Real Madrid's Lucas Vázquez to Join Adidas?
Oct 28, 2015, by Chris
Everything indicates that Real Madrid right winger Lucas Vazquez has joined the Three Stripes after he debuted the Solar Red Adidas X 15.1 Boots in Real Madrid's last league match against Celta Vigo.
Former Castilla player Lucas Vazquez, who joined Real Madrid this summer after he played one season with Espanyol, had been wearing Nike Mercurial Boots for his entire professional career. Interestingly, he still wore the Nike Mercurial Vapor X Boots in last week's Champions League clash against French side Paris Saint-Germain.

Lucas Vazquez laced up in a non-modified version of the Adidas X 15.1 Soccer Cleats. Combining a ultra-light synthetic upper with a techfit collar, the Adidas X Boots are made for speed and agility. For ultimate traction, the Adidas X 15.1 Boot features a triangular stud pattern and a second-layer of traction inspired by tracking shoes. Vazquez wore the SG version of the Adidas X Boots.
After Adidas also managed to sign Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas earlier this year, the German brand now supplies the boots for eleven players of Los Blancos. However, Adidas still can't keep up with arch rivals Nike. The US-giant produces the boots for 16 Real Madrid players (via Football Boots DB).
It's expected that Adidas will announce the signing of Lucas Vázquez in the coming weeks.
Keylor Navas and now Lucas Vázquez. Do you think that Adidas will manage to sign even more Real Madrid players this season? Let us know in the comments section below.

American side Annapolis Blues FC have launched a member vote to select their official home kit for the 2027 campaign. The club, which competes in both USL League Two and the USL W League, has continued its tradition of community-driven design decisions by unveiling eight distinct Puma concepts for their supporters to choose from.
The eight proposals showcase a wide range of looks while keeping the Maryland club's signature royal blue palette, circular blue crab crest, and adaptic chest sponsorship. The options range from modern graphic looks—including a fading chest burst, jagged side accents, and quartered two-tone blocks—to classic aesthetics featuring a navy diagonal sash with gold detailing, a bold white chevron, horizontal bands, and refined pinstripes complete with a polo collar.
Voting is exclusively open to 2027 Season Membership Holders, who received their voting ballots directly by email. In addition to deciding the official matchwear for both the men's and women's squads, members will also receive the winning home jersey alongside a commemorative scarf as part of their membership benefits.
Hartlepool United 26-27 Third Kit Released
Hartlepool United and technical partner Meyba have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Directly inspired by the club's archives, the shirt serves as a modern reimagining of Pools' memorable 1995-96 away strip, combining unmistakable mid-nineties aesthetics with contemporary sportswear performance.
The Meyba Hartlepool United 26-27 third jersey features a striking split design. Its upper half is clean white, layered with bold angular diagonal stripes in red and pale blue that flow down into a solid red lower section detailed with subtle pale blue vertical pinstripes. The top is finished with a retro black polo-style collar that incorporates red trim and a functional zip neck. Additional bespoke touches include an embroidered ship's wheel crest, "Est 1908" placed beneath the outer back collar, and the rallying cry "NEVER SAY DIE" printed inside the collar.
Completing the nostalgic ensemble, local partner Camerons Brewery returns as the primary front-of-shirt sponsor, directly echoing the brewery's Strongarm branding seen on the original 1995-96 design. Matching red shorts and red socks round off the full kit.
Canberra United 26-27 Home and Away Kits Released
Ninja A-League Women side Canberra United has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, crafted by Australian sportswear brand Konqa. The partnership between the club and the Melbourne-based manufacturer enters its second consecutive campaign after Konqa first took over United's kit production last year.
The Canberra United 26-27 home shirt arrives in the club's traditional bright green hue. It showcases a modern sublimated design featuring tonal diagonal brush strokes across the torso, paired with neat dark green and white detailing along the crew collar and cuffs. Gym chain Club Lime continues as the primary sponsor on the chest, positioned below a centrally placed Konqa logo and a raised silicone club crest topped with two championship stars.
Contrasting the vibrant home shirt, the 26-27 away jersey switches to a deep forest green base. It carries the same sharp graphic patterning sublimated throughout the fabric, finished with crisp white and bright lime trims around the neckline and sleeves. Supported by University of Canberra across the front, the new collection provides the capital club with a distinctive and cohesive visual identity for the upcoming campaign.
