Top 5 Best Concept Boots - September 2015
Oct 7, 2015, by Chris
While some of the conceptional boot designs are anything but classy and are therefore not featured on our website, there are designers that regularly create one-of-a-kind and outstanding concepts we would love to see as regular launches. So here are our five favorite boot concepts of September.
5 | Nike Mercurial Superfly Bape Boots by Jorge Cendejas
Boasting the iconic graphic pattern of Japanese fashion brand A Bathing Ape in the heel area and a classic black leather upper in the forefoot area, the Nike Mercurial Bape Boots are the perfect mixture of bold and traditional.
4 | Nike Touch of Gold Boots by Swoosh Customs
Drawing inspiration from the classy Nike Tiempo Legend Ronaldinho 'Touch of Gold' Boots, the white and gold Nike Hypervenom, Magista and Mercurial would make a classy collection.
3 | Adidas AcceleratoR9 Boots by Scott McRoy
Merging the colors of the famous Nike Mercurial Ronaldo 1998 World Cup Boots with the Adidas Predator Accelerator Boots, the Adidas AcceleratoR9 Football Boots by Scott McRoy became an instant classic. However, there will be never such a boot as both Adidas and Nike would never mix up two of their most iconic boots.
2 | MessiFly Boots by Swoosh Customs
The boot that caused quite a stir. The MessiFly Cleats by Swoosh Customs boast the trademark design of the white and and blue Adidas Messi 15.1 Boots while featuring the Dynamic Fit collar and technologies of the Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots. For even more stability, the design includes the MessiCage in the midfoot area.
1 | Nike Mercurial Superfly SL Tribute Boots Pack by Swoosh Customs
It's definitely our favorite concept pack. Inspired by the Nike Mercurial Vapor SL Boots (released in 2008), which were entirely constructed from carbon-fibre, the unique Nike Mercurial Superfly SL Tribute Cleats feature the trademark tongue and sole plate of the original boot.
And what's even better is that Swoosh Customs created nine different paint jobs boasting the famous colors of the original colorways.

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
